Understanding Tile Sizes, Shades & Batch Variation Before You Buy

What Is Tile Batch Variation?

Batch variation refers to natural differences in color and tone between tile manufacturing batches—even with the same design.

Why Does It Happen?

  • Raw material differences

  • Kiln temperature variations

  • Production timelines

How to Avoid Issues

✔ Always order the full required quantity at once
✔ Check tile batch numbers before installation
✔ Dry-lay tiles before fixing

At Navya Ceramics, we always recommend purchasing extra tiles (5–10%) to account for cutting and future repairs.
