Frequently Asked Questions

Does your company provide any warranty for scratch resistance for VC Shield tiles?

The concept behind Veil Craft Hard Coat technology is to make a floor tiles physically and visually unchanged, enduring years of foot traffic.

The process of determination of the abrasion resistance is done by rotation of an abrasive load on the tile surface. The number of revolutions sustained without any change in visual appearance is the measure of abrasion resistance.

Abrasion Resistance has five grades namely PEI I, II, III, IV & V.

PEI V is the highest rating which means any surface which can endure more than 12000 rotations.

VC Shield tiles are more than 4 times superior to the standards described in PEI V or Class 5

Floor tiles coated with VC shield coating can withstand 50,000 revolutions and still retain its abrasion resistance, making Somany’s VC the most durable floor tile in India.

What types of finishes exist for tiles?

Common tile finishes include:

  • Glossy/Polished: Shiny, reflective surface (slippery when wet; ideal for indoor walls).
  • Matte: Non-reflective, slip-resistant (good for floors, outdoor areas).
  • Textured: Rough surface for anti-slip properties (used in bathrooms, balconies).
  • Lappato (Semi-Gloss): Mid-sheen finish, balance of elegance and practicality.
  • Wooden/Stone Effect: Mimics natural materials (popular for rustic or modern designs).
  • Metallic/High-Gloss: Decorative, luxury finish (used for feature walls).
  • Anti-Scratch (VC Shield): Extra protection against abrasion (e.g., Somany’s VC Shield tiles).
  • Anti-Slip (Slip Shield): Specially designed for wet areas (outdoors, pool decks).
