I've been to their showroom in PJ. Nice tiles but pricey. If the offer for all porcelain tiles (not just a fixed type) then its cheap (for Feruni).
I think you are like me, sold on their showroom

Been to one stop in kepong. Saw Niro Tiles 2'X2' selling at RM9.80 thought I hit the mother lode
But when I ask more details, its Grade 2
Grade 1 cost RM 20+++

Are you sure. I've always have the impression that Niro Granite is the leader in Homogeneous Tiles

They even claim as below..

Is it a good idea to buy from the main showroom since they are supposedly the HQ (main source). Will the price diffrence be significant?

Been to a few Major Tiles showroom

Feruni in Jalan 213, Petaling Jaya

Guocera in Wisma Kemajuan, Petaling Jaya

MML in Jalan 215, Petaling Jaya

White Horse in Ceramic World, Selayang

Niro Granite - Jalan Penchala, Petaling Jaya.

Good advice. Direct and to the points. Thanks.

Some facts I've Googled - my own summary
Ceramic Tiles - Standard Clay Tiles with a coloured surface
2 types -
Glazed (Shiny)
Unglazed (Matte)

Porcelein Tiles - Porcelein Clay Tile (fired at much higher temperatures than ceramic tiles)
-more dense,
-less porous,
-much harder
-less prone to moisture and stain absorption
2 types-
Glazed (Shiny) - may or may not have the same coloration from top to bottom because of the top glazed layer
Unglazed (Matte) = Homogeneous Tiles - through-body coloration

So kamion advice makes perfect sense

New info from talking with Kevin from Niro Granite Jalan Penchala, Petaling Jaya.

Homogeneous = Porcelein, The material are the same from surface to the base.

Full Bodied = The Top colour are saturated Fully in to the tile.
Half Bodied = The Top colour are saturated partially (half) in to the tile.

I read somewhere in this forum that if you bring a contractor to Niro Granite showroon,
they can get 28% discount.
Today when I went (I am not contractor),
the salesman Kevin in Jalan Penchala told me that this deal was discontinued 2 months ago,

Give details bro, we need details.
Last visit to Niro Granite Jalan Penchala, last month the sales man say
Since 2 months ago the 28% discount afforded to contractor - no more.
Now maximum approx 22-23%.

Just go there and look fierce

I am searching for tiles now.
How is the choices in Ipmuda Buildermart.

Based on the perception of the members who has been there,
How is their Prices and Variety range ?!?

My 2 cents

I heard that Guocera got some rough surface car porch tiles at good discounted prices. Anyone else heard of this?

Try Feruni. They have big tiles.

Try this

I am looking for 2nd grade tiles. Specifically Guocera Signature or Niro Traces.
Where to find??

Cost should be the same. The main difference is the skill.
Different si-fu can charge same or different price since there is no standard price but different people has different skill level, work ethics and experience. Result will really depend on your luck.

Another option is to lay that part last if you are doing major renovation, using balance tiles. My tiler did that for me and it looks surprisingly good.

Most of our "local" branded tiles are imported from China.. so its already "export" grade... How does that fit in this statement???
