Selecting tiles today is no longer about choosing a color or finish. For architects, it has become a technical decision that must meet slip resistance rules, fire safety ratings, BIM modeling needs, and BOQ accuracy. This Tile Specification Toolkit helps architects, interior designers, and builders understand these requirements in one simple guide. It explains how to pick tiles that are safe, durable, code compliant, and suitable for different climates and project types. Ramirro Ceramica, a manufacturer known for its transparent technical data and global project support, offers materials and specifications that make this process easier. With this guide, you can choose tiles with confidence, reduce site errors, and design spaces that meet both design and compliance standards.

Kitchens face spills from oils, acids, detergents, and food, so tiles must have strong chemical resistance and stain resistance. Commercial kitchens especially require surfaces that prevent slipping when oil droplets fall on the floor this is known as the oil slip factor, and R11 tiles are usually recommended. Porcelain tiles perform well here because they remain non porous and easy to sanitize.
In dry indoor spaces, comfort and installation quality matter more than slip ratings. Architects look for flatness tolerance to avoid lippage and tile size stability so large format tiles fit evenly across the room. These areas allow more freedom in design, but performance remains important for long term durability and maintenance.
