40x40 Ceramic Floor Tiles for Wholesale and Export 400x400 mm ceramic floor tile, factory direct from Ardakan

The cheapest floor module we make, which is what makes it viable for large utility areas where the surface must perform but not be seen.

A small module cuts around irregular plans, stair treads and landings with little offcut, unlike a large format on the same layout.

No levelling system and no two-person handling — an ordinary crew lays it at volume without specialist equipment.

A high pieces-per-carton count keeps a shelf quantity affordable to hold on site for repairs and second-phase work.

Service Corridors and Storerooms

Back-of-house floors that see constant foot and cart traffic but no design brief.

Stairs and Landings

Small module and low cost make this the standard specification for stair treads and landings at volume.

Workshops and Courtyards

Hard-wearing ceramic floor for light-industrial and outdoor-adjacent areas, confirmed per model for the exposure.

High-Volume Residential

Social housing and large residential schemes, where the same two or three codes repeat across hundreds of units.

• Export catalogue and per-model datasheets
• Sample boxes before a bulk order
• Full and mixed container loading
• Distributor and project pricing on volume
• Private label and OEM production, subject to factory confirmation

• Commercial invoice
• Packing list
• Certificate of origin
• Bill of lading
• Technical datasheet per model

The nominal size is 400 × 400 mm, so one piece covers 0.16 m². The rectified work size and the permitted deviation are stated on each model's datasheet, so quote the code when the tolerance matters to the layout.

Suitability belongs to the model, not the size: finish, thickness and abrasion class decide it. Send your room schedule and the desk will confirm which codes in 40 × 40 cm are approved for floor, for wall, or for both.

This size is produced in White body and Red body only — we do not press a porcelain body at 400 × 400 mm. Ceramic bodies have a higher water absorption than porcelain and are made for interior use; where a specification calls for porcelain, the range starts at 60x60.

Available finishes are listed in the Finishes & Designs section above, in selected models. Ask the desk to confirm which codes carry the finish and colourway you need before the order is placed.

Yes, this size leaves the works rectified; the datasheet states it per model. A ground edge makes a more uniform installation possible, but the achievable joint width also depends on the substrate and the fixing instructions followed on site.

The figure is taken from each model datasheet and is not published as a single number for the whole size, since it varies by body and by model.

MOQ depends on the model, the design, the production plan, the packing and the destination. Send the requirement through the quotation form and the desk replies with the applicable minimum.

The quantity depends on the pieces per carton, the thickness and the model. It is printed on the packing list attached to every quotation.

Yes to all three. The catalogue and datasheets are sent as PDFs, and sample boxes are dispatched on request — the desk states the preparation time and freight arrangement for your destination.

Yes, factory direct. Minimum order quantity is set per model and destination and is stated on the quotation. A proforma invoice is issued once the models, quantity, destination and incoterm are confirmed.

The works at Ardakan, Yazd, ships to thirty-five countries. Routes are road, rail or sea through Bandar Abbas; the desk confirms the available route, documents and delivery terms for a given destination.

It depends on each model reaching its own MOQ, on the container capacity and payload, and on the production schedule. Mixed loading is confirmed before the proforma invoice is issued.

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading and the technical datasheet. Any additional certificate is confirmed case by case before shipment.

EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF are quoted where the route to the destination supports them. The desk confirms which terms and which route apply to your market.

Private label and OEM production are discussed case by case. Feasibility, minimum quantity, carton artwork, lead time and brand requirements are confirmed with the factory before an order is accepted.

Approximately. 400 by 400 millimetres converts to about 15.7 by 15.7 inches and is sold as 16x16 in markets that use imperial units. Quote the millimetre size on an order so there is no ambiguity.

Only in models whose datasheet confirms frost resistance and an adequate slip rating for the exposure. Ask the desk for the approved list before specifying an exterior area.

White body and red body only — this size is not pressed in porcelain. White body suits lighter colourways and red body is the economy option under a dark or patterned glaze.
