At HEMNIL Tiles Studio, we believe a tile is much more than a surface. It is a part of the architecture, a reflection of personality, and often the detail that transforms a space from ordinary to extraordinary.
Our journey began with a simple vision — to bring exceptional tiles, wallpapers and surface solutions to people who appreciate design, craftsmanship and individuality.
Based in Bangalore, HEMNIL has grown into a destination for premium and designer tiles, luxury mosaics and wallpapers, bringing together carefully selected collections from India and around the world.
We don’t believe in simply filling spaces with tiles. We believe in helping create spaces with character.
From timeless natural-inspired textures and handcrafted finishes to contemporary patterns, statement surfaces and artistic mosaics, our collections are selected to give architects, interior designers and homeowners the freedom to create something distinctive.
Every collection is chosen with attention to design, texture, craftsmanship, quality and architectural expression.
Over the years, HEMNIL has built relationships with architects, interior designers, developers and discerning homeowners who look beyond the ordinary.
Our team works closely with clients to understand the vision behind a project and help identify the right surface, finish, colour and format for the space.
Whether it is a luxurious residence, a hospitality project, a commercial space or a statement feature wall, our aim remains the same:
To turn an idea into a surface that makes a lasting impression.
We continuously explore new materials, international design trends, traditional craftsmanship and innovative surface concepts to bring something fresh to the Indian design landscape.
Because we believe great spaces are not created by following trends alone.
They are created by choosing details that have meaning.
Water absorption is the amount moisture that can be taken in by a tile. Most porcelains have an absorption rate of less than 0.5% and are classed as impervious. Whereas the base of a ceramic tile can take in as much as 10% and in some cases more. The absorption amount may dictate where the tile can be used and which adhesive is used to fix it. If an impervious tile is used, a cement based adhesive with additional bonding polymers is required. Whereas ceramic tiles being more porous offer a natural key for the adhesive to key into.
As it is not recommended for tiles to be butt jointed, a grout joint is put in place around the tiles. Its purpose is to prevent the flow of moisture from reaching the back of a tile, as a buffer to limit the effects of vibration and the expansion/contraction caused by temperature change, and is available in many colours to compliment or highlight the colour of a tile.
The amount of water absorbed by a tile. This is described as the ratio of the weight of the water absorbed to the weight of the dry tile, expressed as a percentage.
