What Are 30x60 Tiles?
30x60 refers to the nominal face size in centimetres: 300 by 600 millimetres, or roughly 12 by 24 inches. It is a wall format, and at IR-Build it is produced as a ceramic tile in white body and red body — not as porcelain. The distinction matters when you are specifying: ceramic wall bodies have a higher water absorption than porcelain and are made for vertical, interior use rather than for floors, terraces or frost exposure.
Where a project needs a porcelain body in a comparable design, the range starts at 60x60.

The 300x600 range runs across marble, stone, concrete and plain colour graphics in matt and glossy finishes, in both white body and red body. White body carries light colours and marble prints more cleanly; red body is the economy option where the glaze is dark or heavily patterned. Every model below is in current production. Open a model for its code, body, finish and packing figures, or filter the full catalogue by finish and design.
Available Finishes and Designs
Glossy Ceramic Wall Tiles
The standard wall finish. A fired gloss glaze reflects light back into small rooms, which is why it remains the default for bathrooms and kitchens in the markets we ship to. It cleans easily and shows water marks less than a matt surface at the same colour. Available across most designs in both bodies.
GlossyWallWhite bodyRed bodyMatt Ceramic Wall Tiles
A through-matt glaze for a flatter, more contemporary wall. Reads closer to plaster or stone than a gloss surface and is more forgiving of uneven lighting. Available in selected designs; ask the desk which codes carry matt in the colourway you need.
MattWallSelected modelsMarble Effect Wall Tiles
Veined graphics in white, bone and grey families, printed on white body so the ground stays clean under light colours. At 300x600 the vein repeats more often than on a large format, so ask for a layout sample if the wall is a feature rather than a background.
Marble effectWhite bodyGlossyMatt White Bone GreyStone and Concrete Effect Wall Tiles
Stone, travertine and cement graphics in the neutral families, mostly matt. Used where a wall has to read as a material rather than a colour, and where the same design continues from a wall onto a floor in a larger format.
Stone effectConcrete effectMattNeutralPlain Colour and Decor Tiles
Single-colour fields with matching decor and listello pieces, for layouts where the pattern is in the arrangement rather than the print. Brick, stack-bond and vertical layouts all read correctly at the 1:2 proportion.

Why Choose 30x60 Tiles?
The entry price of the range. On a project measured in thousands of square metres — residential blocks, refurbishment, mid-market hospitality — the format decision moves the budget more than the design does.
A 600 mm edge with a normal joint absorbs a wall that is out of true. The same wall under a large format would need levelling first, which adds a trade and a week.
Bathroom and kitchen walls are mostly obstacles: pipework, sockets, sanitary ware, niches. A small module cuts around them with a fraction of the waste a large panel produces, and the offcuts are usable.
Brick bond, stack bond, vertical and herringbone all work at this proportion without looking stretched. The pattern can carry the wall where the budget does not allow a feature graphic.
Applications of 30x60 Tiles
Bathroom and Shower Walls
The core application. Glossy for light return in a small room, matt where the wall should read flat. Cuts cleanly around sanitary ware and pipework.
Interior wallsKitchen Walls and Splashbacks
Wipe-clean glazed surface behind hobs and worktops, in plain colour or a stone graphic. Small module suits the run between worktop and wall units.
Interior wallsUtility and Service Rooms
Laundries, plant rooms, stores and back-of-house corridors, where the wall has to be washable rather than seen.
Interior wallsRefurbishment and Renovation
Tiling over an existing imperfect wall without levelling first. The most common reason a specifier chooses 30x60 over a large format.
Interior wallsResidential Projects at Volume
Apartment blocks and social housing, where the same two or three codes repeat across hundreds of units and the price per m² drives the specification.
Interior wallsSelected Floor Use
Only in models whose datasheet confirms a floor rating and an adequate abrasion class. Confirm per code — most of this range is wall-only.
Approved models only30x60 Tiles for Wholesale and Export
Supply is factory direct — the works quotes, produces, packs and loads. 30x60 is the highest-volume format we ship, which affects how it is quoted: the piece is small, so a container carries a large number of cartons and reaches its volume limit before its weight limit, the opposite of a large format. Compare quotations on the price per square metre delivered, not per carton.
Minimum order quantity depends on the model, the body, the design and the destination, and is stated on the quotation. Mixed loading of several designs in one container is straightforward in this size provided each model reaches its own MOQ. Distributors holding stock should tell the desk the shelf quantity at the first enquiry so a single shade batch can be reserved.

Export Markets We Serve
Why Source from Iran?
Ardakan sits on the clay and feldspar belt north of Yazd, which is why the ceramic industry settled here and why the raw material for a wall body does not travel far before it is pressed. For a high-volume wall tile, where the material cost is a large share of the delivered price, that proximity is the whole argument.
Add to it a works that has fired continuously since 1998, three million square metres held in the yard, and road and rail routes into the neighbouring markets that no sea shipment can match on transit time.
