Which tile format should I choose for a living room?

For a premium living room in Morocco, favour large formats (60×120 at least, ideally 80×180): they keep joints to a minimum and give a sense of space. Marble, travertine and stone-effect porcelain work particularly well.

How thick should tiles be for an interior floor?

For a residential interior floor, 9 to 12 mm is the standard. Above 12 mm, you are dealing with cut slabs (marble, natural stone), which need a suitable substrate.

Are tiles compatible with underfloor heating?

Yes: tiles are the best covering over underfloor heating, thanks to their thermal mass. All Amarchy porcelain is compatible. For marble, check the thickness with our technical team.

How many square metres should I allow for an interior floor?

Work out the floor area and add 10% for cuts and wastage (15% for diagonal or chevron patterns). Our team always checks this laying plan before the order is placed, to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Premium interior tiles.

For interior floors and walls, Amarchy selects premium tiles suited to the moderate to heavy footfall of living spaces in Morocco. From veined marble to large-format porcelain, each collection is chosen for how well it lays, how hard it wears and how beautifully it ages.

01 — Interior floors and walls

What matters for an interior floor.

Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways: indoors, continuity comes first. Large formats mean fewer joints and a greater sense of space; the same tile can run from one room to the next, then continue up the wall.

We then choose the material to suit the footfall: marble or travertine for a reception room, stone-effect porcelain for busy living spaces. Every reference can be seen and handled at the Skhirat showroom, and our tilers lay it across Morocco.

Format

For a premium living room, go large: 60×120 at least, ideally 80×180. Fewer joints, and the room feels bigger.

Thickness

9 to 12 mm is the standard for a residential interior floor. Anything thicker means cut slabs (marble, natural stone), which need a suitable substrate.

Underfloor heating

Tiles are the best covering over underfloor heating, thanks to their thermal mass. All our porcelain is compatible; for marble, the thickness is checked with our team.
