FAQs

1- Why should I import tiles from Iran?

Iran offers a unique combination of high quality, rich design variety, and cost efficiency. Iranian tiles use abundant local materials and craftsmanship, so even heavy-duty porcelain and artistic ceramic tiles cost much less than comparable European products. You’ll get durable, attractive tiles that meet international standards, often at lower prices than in other markets.

2- Which manufacturers in Iran supply what types of tiles?

Major players cover all tile categories. For example, Apadana Ceram and Almas Kavir are huge producers of porcelain and glazed floor tiles. Sina Tile Group and Aghigh Tile offer everything from wall tiles to large-format porcelain. Persepolis Tile and Alvand are well-known for high-volume production. Kavian Ceram’s catalog spans these brands, so you can mix and match floor, wall, and specialty tiles from multiple factories.

3- Why not buy directly from the factory?

In theory you can contact factories yourself, but there are pitfalls. Many Iranian factories prefer dealing through established exporters and might be slow to assist foreign clients on their own. Export compliance (packing lists, letters of credit, etc.) can be tricky. Kavian Ceram, as a professional distributor, already navigates these issues daily.

4- How can I get a price list or catalogue for my project?

Simply contact Kavian Ceram (via email or their website) and request a product catalog or price quote. They offer free bulk pricing estimates and can customize quotes to your project size. Provide details like tile types, quantities, and destination.
