About Kimgres

Kimgres has made glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles in Malaysia since 1979. The brand belongs to Kim Hin Industry Berhad, a group listed on Bursa Malaysia. Its headquarters and a factory are in Kuching, Sarawak, and it runs two more plants in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.

The range covers marble, wood, stone, cement and plain looks in porcelain, plus ethnic designs in ceramic. A Bespoke service prints a customer's own artwork onto tiles. Showrooms in Kuching, Petaling Jaya, Ipoh and Senai serve Malaysian buyers, with more in Vietnam, China and Australia.

Who the website is for

Homeowners planning a renovation

They want to see a tile in a room before they buy it. The Visualiser shows tiles on room scenes, and a calculator works out how many boxes a room needs.

Architects and interior designers

They choose by material and look. The Core Collection sorts porcelain and ceramic by look, and TilePedia explains sizes, edge profiles and shade variation.

Developers and project buyers

They want to see the tiles used at scale. Project case studies cover a church fitted with custom tiles and a terrace housing development, and the Bespoke page explains custom production.

Home page

Collections, a visualiser and a calculator from the first scroll

The home page opens with the brand's Borneo story and two buttons, one to explore the collections and one to visit a showroom. It then lets visitors switch between porcelain and ceramic, features new series, and introduces the Visualiser, the Slip-Shield tiles and recent projects.

  • Porcelain and ceramic switch with a card for each look
  • Featured series, including a batik-inspired range
  • Visualiser, project references and a newsletter sign-up

The range sorted by material, then by look

The Core Collection page uses one switch for porcelain or ceramic, then shows a card for each look, such as marble, wood, stone and cement. Each card opens the tiles in that collection, so a buyer can narrow the range in two clicks.

  • Porcelain and ceramic tabs
  • Collections grouped by look
  • WhatsApp and enquiry options on the page

Custom-printed tiles in four steps

  • Custom printing on tile slabs
  • Three reasons to go bespoke
  • Brief, develop, produce and deliver steps

Design choices

Photography

Room scenes, outdoor spaces and close-ups of tile texture, so each surface can be judged in detail.

Type

Cormorant Garamond serif headings with Hanken Grotesk body text, for a showroom feel that stays easy to read.

Colour

Charcoal bars and warm cream backgrounds, with the red of the butterfly logo on buttons and labels.

Why we built it this way

Tile buyers usually want to see a surface in a room before they commit, and many research for weeks first. The Visualiser and calculator answer the early questions online, and the showroom links handle the final step. TilePedia and the blog give SEO useful pages to build on, while email and WhatsApp keep in touch with buyers between the first visit and a showroom trip.
