Tile prices in Lebanon, published.

Ceramic tiles at Carré Parfait start from $5 per square metre and porcelain from $8, in US dollars as of August 2026. The $3 gap at entry level comes from the body: porcelain is pressed denser and fired harder, so it absorbs almost no water and costs more to produce.

The gap describes entry prices only. A working porcelain line can cost less than a premium ceramic wall series — collection tier moves the price as much as the body does. Most Lebanese homes end up splitting the two: porcelain underfoot and in wet areas, ceramic on interior walls.

Six factors set the final per-square-metre price at Carré Parfait: format, body (ceramic or porcelain), origin (Spain or Italy), rectified edges, quantity, and collection tier. The published figures are each category's starting point as of August 2026: ceramic from $5, porcelain from $8, slabs from $24.

Of the six factors, format pulls hardest. A 60×60 floor tile and a three-metre slab may leave the same factory, yet the slab needs a bigger press and more careful freight, and the square-metre price carries all of it. Rectified edges (tiles ground to an exact calibre after firing) add a production step and allow tighter grout lines, so rectified series price above their standard versions.

Quantity works in the buyer's favour. Project and container volumes move to wholesale terms through Carré Parfait Spain in Castellón, and a designer at the showroom prices the whole floor in one sitting, with the collection tier chosen to fit the budget.

Not necessarily. Spanish tiles at Carré Parfait price by the same six factors as the rest of the range, over the same starting points: ceramic from $5 and porcelain from $8 per square metre, as of August 2026. Carré Parfait is a top-five Lebanese importer of Spanish tiles and buys at the factory through its own Castellón office.

The direct line is what keeps Spanish quality inside ordinary budgets. About 94% of Spain's tiles are made in Castellón province, per ASCER, the Spanish tile manufacturers' association — and Carré Parfait Spain works inside it, selecting collections at the factory gate. The route is short. No trading house stands between the kiln and the Zouk Highway floor.

Three Spanish houses carry the roster: Drevex, Azulejos Benadresa and Grespania. Carré Parfait is an official dealer of all three, with Italian factories rounding out the range.

Large-format slabs start from $24 per square metre at Carré Parfait, in US dollars as of August 2026 — 3 times the porcelain entry price of $8. The format explains the difference: slabs demand heavier presses and specialist handling from the truck to the wall.

Grespania leads the slab range. Carré Parfait is an official Grespania dealer, and the Spanish house's large-format architectural lines stand on the floor of the Zouk Mosbeh showroom — a single slab can face a shower wall with no joint, which is the effect the format is bought for.

Slab pricing is a project question more than a box question: the cut plan and the handling route both change the number. Bring the drawings, or send them on WhatsApp, and the quote comes back on the real quantity.

A 6 m² bathroom floor starts at $30 in ceramic (6 × $5) or $48 in porcelain (6 × $8) at Carré Parfait's prices, tiles only, as of August 2026. A 12 m² kitchen floor starts at $60 in ceramic or $96 in porcelain. The arithmetic is the honest part; the collection you choose sets the rest.

Measure the floor, multiply by the per-square-metre price, then add a cutting allowance — diagonal layouts and small rooms waste more tile than straight runs in large ones. The showroom team calculates the exact order from your dimensions, so you buy what the floor actually needs.

Installation is quoted separately, per project, once the format and the floor condition are known — Carré Parfait installs what it sells. For an exact figure on the tiles, send the room dimensions on WhatsApp with a photo of the space.

Floor tiles in Lebanon start from $8 per square metre in porcelain at Carré Parfait in Zouk Mosbeh, north of Beirut. Wall tiles start from $5 in ceramic, and porcelain slabs for walls and countertops from $24, US dollars as of August 2026, tiles only. Area times band gives the tile budget.

The two bands follow the two bodies. Ceramic is pressed lighter and fired softer, which keeps the price down and makes the tile easy to cut on site. Porcelain is pressed denser and fired at around 1,200 °C. The body ends up absorbing less than 0.5 % water, the threshold ISO 13006 and EN 14411 use to define porcelain. A floor has to resist impacts and foot traffic; a wall does not. That is why the wall band starts at $5 and the floor band at $8.

Read the table by surface, not by room name. A bathroom has a floor and walls, so it draws on both bands. A living room is almost all floor, and a kitchen is mostly wall above the worktop plus a floor that behaves like a corridor. A terrace is floor only. Multiply each surface by its band and add a cutting allowance; the tiles-only figure is then on paper before the visit.

The starting prices are each band's entry collections at Carré Parfait as of August 2026. Format, body, origin, rectified edges, quantity and collection tier lift the figure above the start; see "What makes tile prices vary in Lebanon?" above. Installation stays outside the per-metre figures. The 100 m² worked example lower on this page shows what an installed job adds. The bodies themselves are explained on the ceramic tiles page.

Bathroom tiles in Lebanon start from $8 per square metre for the floor in porcelain at Carré Parfait, Zouk Mosbeh. The walls start from $5 in ceramic, US dollars as of August 2026, tiles only, and wall tiles are priced on the wall area. A 6 m² floor starts at $48.

The floor is the wet surface. So the floor band is porcelain, a body absorbing under 0.5 % water, which keeps a bathroom floor stable through daily showers. The same dense body is harder and more abrasion resistant than other ceramic tiles. Walls stay dry by comparison and carry no foot traffic, so thinner, lighter ceramic wall tiles do the job at the $5 band.

Example arithmetic, tiles only. A 6 m² bathroom floor in porcelain is 6 × $8 = $48 at Carré Parfait's starting prices. Walls of 20 m² in ceramic are 20 × $5 = $100, so the two together come to $148 before the cutting allowance. The same 20 m² of walls in porcelain would start at $160. Small bathrooms cut more tile than large rooms, so allow extra for a room full of corners.

A shower wall is the one place a slab earns its price. One porcelain slab from $24 per square metre faces the wall with no joint. Grespania, whose official dealer Carré Parfait is, publishes slab formats including 160 × 320 cm, a size that faces a shower wall in one piece. Bathroom tiles are chosen next to the basins and WCs they will live with, which is how the Zouk Mosbeh showroom lays them out. Fittings are on the sanitaryware page. Installation is quoted per project, and tiles can be supplied and installed by Carré Parfait.

Kitchen wall tiles in Lebanon start from $5 per square metre at Carré Parfait, Zouk Mosbeh, in ceramic. Prices are US dollars as of August 2026, tiles only. A splashback is measured by wall area. A 3 m² run behind the hob and sink therefore starts at $15 in ceramic, and porcelain slabs for a jointless splashback start from $24.

A kitchen splashback is a wall, so the wall band applies, and wall tiles carry the glazed colours and reliefs a floor does not need. A splashback covers a few square metres, so the collection choice moves the total by a small amount in absolute terms. The kitchen floor is different. Floors need a body that resists impacts and traffic. A kitchen floor takes dropped pans and chair legs, so the floor band is porcelain from $8. A 12 m² kitchen floor starts at $96, as calculated above.

Example arithmetic, tiles only. A 3 m² splashback in ceramic starts at $15 (3 × $5), and the same run in porcelain starts at $24 (3 × $8). One slab cut to the run starts at $72 (3 × $24). The slab route is bought for the look: no grout lines behind the hob, and the same material can continue onto the worktop. Grespania lists its slabs under countertop, floor tile, wall tile and outdoor uses, in thicknesses from 3.5 mm to 20 mm. One surface can therefore wrap the kitchen.

Format moves a kitchen wall price most. A 30 × 60 ceramic wall tile and a 120 × 260 slab may share a factory, yet the slab needs a bigger press and careful handling. The square-metre price carries both, so send the wall dimensions and a photo of the kitchen on WhatsApp for an exact quote.

Living-room floor tiles in Lebanon start from $8 per square metre in porcelain at Carré Parfait, Zouk Mosbeh. Ceramic for light-traffic rooms starts from $5. Prices are US dollars as of August 2026, tiles only. A 30 m² living room therefore starts at $240 in porcelain or $150 in ceramic, before the cutting allowance and installation.

A living room carries the most traffic in the house, so the band that fits is porcelain from $8. Tile wear is graded from zero to five under ISO 10545-7 and ASTM C1027. Porcelain is significantly harder and more abrasion resistant than other ceramic tiles. A $5 ceramic floor tile belongs in a bedroom or a guest room, not on the route from the front door to the kitchen. Traffic decides.

Format sets the rest. 60 × 60 and 60 × 120 cm are common porcelain floor formats, and rectified edges allow narrow joints on either. A slab floor from $24 per square metre comes in formats such as 120 × 260 or 160 × 320 cm. A large room then gets a few wide joints instead of a grid, at a step up from a standard tile.

Example arithmetic, tiles only, as of August 2026: 30 m² × $8 = $240 in porcelain and 30 m² × $5 = $150 in ceramic. The same room in slabs starts at 30 m² × $24 = $720. Add a cutting allowance. Diagonal layouts waste more than straight runs, and a designer at the Zouk Mosbeh showroom prices the whole floor in one sitting. Project quantities move to wholesale terms through Carré Parfait Spain in Castellón.

Outdoor tiles in Lebanon start from $8 per square metre at Carré Parfait in Zouk Mosbeh, US dollars as of August 2026, tiles only. That is the porcelain band. Standard-thickness porcelain covers terraces and balconies, while 20 mm porcelain pavers for gardens and pool surrounds are priced on request, on quantity and format.

Outdoor tiles sit in the porcelain band because of what the body does with water. Porcelain absorbs less than 0.5 % water, the threshold that defines the class under ISO 13006 and EN 14411. Winter rain has nowhere to soak in. A light ceramic wall tile has no place on a terrace, so standard-thickness porcelain at the $8 band covers balconies and covered terraces.

Gardens and pool surrounds ask for 20 mm porcelain pavers, and those are priced on request rather than by the published band. Grespania lists 20 mm among its slab thicknesses and an outdoor typology in its range. The thickness is the point. A 20 mm paver is a heavier body made for open ground and pool edges, and its price follows the format and the quantity. Slip-rated finishes for pool decks, and the R-ratings that describe them, are explained on the outdoor tiles page.

Outdoor collections change by season. Ask which ranges are on the showroom floor this season, and send the terrace dimensions on WhatsApp for a quote on the real quantity. For urgent orders, the line on record from Carré Parfait's CEO applies: "for urgent matter we can deliver same day", confirmed when the order is placed.

Tiles for a 100 m² floor start from $500 in ceramic (100 × $5), $800 in porcelain (100 × $8) or $2,400 in large-format slabs (100 × $24) at Carré Parfait in Zouk Mosbeh. Tiles only, as of August 2026. An installed cost adds adhesive and grout, labour and any floor levelling — none of it in the per-metre figures.

Adhesive is the next line. Carré Parfait's own installation team lays tiles with PUMA cementitious adhesives, made by Grupo Puma in Spain. For scale, the maker rates one of its standard adhesives, Pegoland Flex C2 TE S1, at about 4 kg per m² with a single spread and about 6 kg with double spreading; it comes in 25 kg bags. On those figures a 100 m² floor takes roughly 16 bags with a single spread or 24 with double spreading; large formats are normally double-spread, so a slab floor sits at the higher figure. Grout quantity follows the tile size and the joint width — a large-format floor with narrow rectified joints needs far less than a small-format layout with wide joints.

Labour is quoted per project by Carré Parfait's own installation team once the format and the floor condition are known. Slabs over an uneven substrate take longer to lay than 60×60 porcelain on a level screed, and any levelling is priced with the job. For the exact installed figure, send the room dimensions and a photo of the floor on WhatsApp.

A showroom sells certainty: at Carré Parfait's 4,000 m² floor on the Zouk Highway, tiles stand laid in daylight, and one accountable supplier has stood behind the material since 2010. Importing directly saves a margin only when the buyer can absorb a full container and everything that can go wrong with one.

For the visit itself, the practical details are covered. Credit and debit cards are accepted at the showroom. Parking and the entrance are wheelchair-accessible. For urgent orders, Carré Parfait can deliver the same day — confirmed when the order is placed.

For buyers who genuinely work at import scale, Carré Parfait quotes wholesale terms through Carré Parfait Spain in Castellón instead of arguing against the idea. Container buyers and contractors get factory-level pricing with a showroom organisation behind it.
