Ceramic Floor Tiles
Ceramic tiles are extremely versatile floor covering available in an array of shapes, sizes and styles. They have a softer and almost always finished durable glaze which helps carry the colour and pattern of the tile. Their easy handle, low maintenance and limitless designs make ceramic tiles a stylish and cost effective bathroom flooring solution.

Porcelain tiles have become very popular in recent years. Fired at very high temperatures, porcelain are denser than their ceramic counterparts and hence offer a superior chip resistance. A great floor solution for both indoor and outdoor areas. Increasingly, porcelain tiles are being more used on walls. Porcelain are available in many formats.

Glazed
The glaze provides an easy to maintain surface as well as allowing for a vast range of decorative designs, including very realistic copies of natural stone. Porcelain has also the added benefits of being denser, stronger and more scratch and stain resistant. -
Polished
Desired by designers for wanting to create a smart, contemporary and up market look. A by-product of polishing process is rectified edging, which means tiles can be laid with minimal grouting space, giving a perception of a continuous and uninterrupted surface. Note that some polished porcelain tiles will require sealing. -
Vitrified
This term is commonly used to refer to unglazed process whereby the clay and other ingredients are transformed into a glassy substance. These tiles are strong and highly durable and consequently often chosen for high traffic areas. They are available in smooth and rough textured surfaces, making them more slip resistant and a suitable choice for both indoor and outdoor use.

Natural Stone Floor Tiles
Nothing conveys a sense of permanence and timeless elegance like natural stone. Stone looks more beautiful with age as the colour mellows and the surface wears to a smooth patina. Each piece is a part of history, every line, colour and fossil is a reminder that it was once alive and no two pieces are the same. Available also in pavers, natural stone can be processed and shaped into various forms, sizes and finishes.
See Product Range-
Polished
A reflective (sometimes mirror-like) surface achieved through grinding, sanding and buffing. Bringing our stronger colours within the stone. -
Honed
Semi polished although not as reflective, more of a low sheen. Doesn't show scratches as much as polished surfaces and therefore more suitable for heavier traffic areas. -
Flamed
Rough and bumpy texture created by heat torching the surface. -
Sandblasted
Rough pitted texture created by submitting stone to a high blast of sand.
