Heavy price competition in the market often leads to compromised tile specifications, which can cause problems after installation.
Aggressive pricing forces manufacturers to cut corners on materials and production quality.
Tiles deviating from standard specifications cause installation gaps, lippage, and failures.
Most buyers are unaware of what true tile specifications look like or how to check them.
Correct specifications ensure better installation and long-term durability.
Tiles must be dimensionally consistent—deviations cause uneven grout lines and poor alignment.
Warped tiles cause lippage — a safety hazard and an eyesore after grouting.
Adequate breaking strength prevents cracking under load and extends the floor's lifespan.
Uniform shading across batches is essential for a cohesive, professional-looking installation.
Low water absorption is critical for wet areas—high absorption leads to staining and structural damage.
TrueSpec is Spera's commitment to raising the quality bar in the tile industry. When you see TrueSpec, you know the tiles have been verified against real standards.
Every TrueSpec tile is tested against dimensional, flatness, and absorption standards before it reaches you.
Spec sheets are available for every product — no guesswork, no hidden compromises on material grades.
Consistent dimensions and flatness mean fewer callbacks, cleaner grout lines, and a result that lasts.
Anyone can do these quick checks before buying or installing tiles.
Place two tiles face-to-face. Any gap in the centre or edges reveals warping.
Lay a straight edge or spirit level across the tile surface to detect any bow.
Both diagonals of a square tile must be equal. Unequal diagonals mean poor geometry.
Rake light across the surface. Pinholes, cracks, or uneven glaze become immediately visible.
