Hello Vinita, Is it feasible to build a roof cover structure with GI sheets or natural materials ? It is the best way to avoid the roof getting direct sun light and eventually heatup. Plants with clay pots also take away most of the sunlight. Terra cotta mud tiles are good cover them with gravel to avoid heat. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

Hello there, Please visit a tile studio of reputed brands like Kajaria/Somany/RAK rather than an ordinary tile dealer. You would get a better idea on materials, dimensions and colors. Since you have a large BUA, you could go for large format tiles for flooring of the sizes 1200 x 600 mm 800 x 800 mm Anything bigger than that would be a sheer loss in case of breakage and maintenance as well.

Hello there, You could really consider 300 x 300 mm tiles for pavement as they are sturdy and matt finished. Try natural stone flooring and concrete paver blocks as well. As for thickness, anything >14mm would suffice but the laying of tiles should be uniform and any minute airgap could produce large cracks due to pressure. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

@Rock Doc: Are you addressing this to me? I haven't actually bought these tiles yet - when I do, I will definitely be going for the handmade ones. They're a work of art and irreplaceable in my opinion. However, there are also screen-printed tiles available in the market in more or less the same patterns; the workmanship is of course different, but you get them cheaper, and they're also more easily available. You could give that a shot. I'd recommend Aakaar Flooring Solutions - they're here on Houzz and are able to provide both the above-mentioned types.
