What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles?

Ceramic tiles are made from natural clay, are easier to cut, and are suitable for most indoor residential floors and walls. They are less dense than porcelain and more affordable. Porcelain tiles are denser, harder, and more water-resistant — making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchen floors, and high-traffic areas. Porcelain is also suitable for outdoor use in Kenyan climates.

How many tiles do I need for my floor?

Measure your floor length by width in metres to get the square metreage. Add 10–15% for cuts, waste, and future repairs. For example, a 4m x 5m room = 20m², plus 15% wastage = 23m² of tiles needed. Call Pioneer Hardwares on 0782 005 737 with your room measurements and we will calculate your exact tile quantity.

Tile Guide

Ceramic vs Porcelain Tiles — Which Is Right for Your Home?

🏠

Ceramic Tiles — Best Value

Made from natural clay and fired at lower temperatures. Easier to cut and install. The most affordable option for residential floors and walls in Ruaka and Kiambu.

Bedrooms and living rooms
Corridor and passage flooring
Kitchen and bathroom wall tiles
Low-to-medium foot traffic areas

From KSh 650 / m²

✨

Porcelain Tiles — Premium Durability Recommended

Fired at higher temperatures, making them denser, harder, and significantly more water-resistant than ceramic. Suitable for all indoor and outdoor applications in Kenya's climate.

Kitchens and bathrooms
High-traffic hallways and entrance areas
Outdoor verandahs and patios
Commercial and rental property floors

From KSh 1,200 / m²

Our advice: Use ceramic tiles in bedrooms and low-traffic areas to save on budget. Use porcelain in kitchens, bathrooms, and the living room floor where durability matters most. Call 0782 005 737 and we'll advise based on your specific rooms and budget.

Tile FAQ — Ruaka

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do floor tiles cost in Ruaka?+

Ceramic floor tiles start from KSh 650 per m² at Pioneer Hardwares. Porcelain tiles start from KSh 1,200/m². Prices vary by size, brand, and finish. Call 0782 005 737 for today's confirmed stock and pricing.

How many tiles do I need for a 3-bedroom house?+

For a 3-bedroom house (approximately 85–110m² floor area), you'll need roughly 95–130m² of floor tiles depending on your layout and the areas you're tiling. Add 15% for wastage and cuts. Wall tiles for bathrooms and kitchen are additional. Call us with your room dimensions and we'll calculate the exact quantity for you.

What tile size is best for a small bathroom?+

For a small bathroom, 30×30cm or 40×40cm tiles work well — they require fewer cuts at the edges and create a less broken visual pattern. Larger tiles (60×60cm) can make a small space feel more open but generate more wastage from cuts. Our team can show you samples in store to help you choose — visit us at Ruaka or WhatsApp a photo of your bathroom layout.

Do you deliver tiles to sites in Kiambu County?+

Yes. Pioneer Hardwares delivers tiles and all flooring accessories across Ruaka, Banana Hill, Ndenderu, Kihara, Gitaru, and the wider Kiambu County area. WhatsApp us your location and quantity for a delivery quote.

Which tile adhesive should I use?+

For standard ceramic tiles on concrete floors, a standard cement-based tile adhesive works well. For porcelain tiles, wet areas, or tiles larger than 40×40cm, use a high-performance flexible adhesive. We stock both types and can advise you in store based on your tile type and substrate.
