About this tool
Compare emulsion and distemper paint, vitrified and ceramic tiles, and work out paint cost per square foot in India.
Pick the comparison, enter your area and rates and see the total for each option. This page brings together 3 separate home finish cost comparison pages (Emulsion vs distemper, Paint cost per sq ft, Vitrified vs ceramic tile) so you can compare them without hunting for the right one.
Open Home Finish Cost Comparison on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Choose your comparison at the top: Emulsion vs distemper, Paint cost per sq ft, Vitrified vs ceramic tile. On a phone it is a drop-down list.
Fill in the home finish cost comparison for that comparison; each of the 3 options keeps its own rules, data and defaults.
Read the result, then switch comparison to compare. The page link keeps your comparison (?v=emulsion-vs-distemper), so you can bookmark or share it.
Emulsion vs distemper, Paint cost per sq ft, Vitrified vs ceramic tile and the rest sit behind one picker, so switching comparison takes a tap instead of a new search.
Every comparison keeps its own rules, numbers and defaults rather than one generic template.
The link remembers the comparison you picked, so a bookmark or a shared link opens straight on it.
3: Emulsion vs distemper, Paint cost per sq ft, Vitrified vs ceramic tile. Pick one at the top of the tool; the page link updates (for example ?v=emulsion-vs-distemper) so you can bookmark or share that exact view.
Emulsion is washable, holds colour longer and typically lasts 5 to 7 years on interior walls, against 2 to 3 years for oil-bound distemper, but costs roughly twice as much per litre. Over a horizon longer than about five to seven years the extra durability usually more than repays the premium; below that, distemper is genuinely cheaper.
For interior walls it typically lands between about 18 and 35 rupees per square foot all-in, with labour usually the largest single component at roughly 12 to 25 rupees per square foot and paint adding 5 to 15 depending on the tier. Enter your own quoted rates, because city, scope and whether putty is included move the number more than the paint brand does.
Water absorption is the real difference: vitrified tiles absorb under 0.5% (group BIa in IS 15622 and ISO 13006) because the body itself is fired to a glassy state, while ceramic tiles absorb roughly 3% to 10% and rely on a glaze for their surface. That makes vitrified tiles denser, harder wearing and far less prone to staining if the surface chips.
