European Tiles FAQ's

• What is a European tile?

  A European tile is any ceramic, porcelain, stone or terracotta tile created by expert European craftspeople and then imported for sale worldwide. Our authentic European tiles are sourced directly from some of the best-known names on the continent, delivering the exceptional quality and consistency you'd expect from high-end tiles in your home country. Any tiles crafted in Europe are considered European tiles, but when selecting products for our range, we only choose the best to deliver our customers the best possible experience.

• Are European tiles good to use for kitchens?

  European tiles are an ideal choice for kitchens. Porcelain and ceramic tiles, in particular, are glazed with high precision to prevent materials such as food or grease from penetrating through the tile. This quality makes these tiles incredibly easy to clean and maintain, keeping them looking their best for years following installation. As many of these tiles are multi-purpose for indoor and outdoor use, you can rest assured that these tile types are the perfect match for splashbacks, half walls and whole-kitchen tile designs.

  European tiling has been used in kitchens for hundreds of years, providing additional hygiene and protecting walls against splashing and damage from cooking. The dozens of unique styles of tile can help to transform your kitchen effortlessly, whether you’re planning on a statement splashback or considering a traditional fully tiled kitchen look.

• Are European tiles good to use for bathrooms?

  European tiling adds a touch of elegance and luxury to any bathroom while maintaining the high standards of waterproofing and cleanliness you'd expect from any bathroom tile. One of the most significant benefits of choosing imported tiles is the quality of their design. Combined with suitable grout, these tiles can look pristine for years past installation if cleaned appropriately. The hard-wearing nature of ceramic and porcelain is ideal for a surface that often gets wet. Whether you're installing by a sink, in a shower or around a tub, a European tile provides unique style and effortless functionality for day-to-day use.

  The versatility of European tile makes it a good fit for bathrooms. Anything from neutral, natural stone-look tiles to vibrant, patterned tiles allows you to match your chosen décor style easily. For a modern look, flowing floor and wall tiles together into a seamless design is a practical and attractive way to get the most use out of stylish European tiling.

• What colours are available for European Tiles?

  European tile is available in various colours, shapes and finishes to suit different styles and interior décor preferences. For example, many modern European tile makers create unique, luxurious and on-style designs to match current trends, from deep green and blue jewel tones to light and bright pastels and muted neutral shades. If you have a particular colour scheme in mind for your bathroom, we likely have a product in our European range to match your vision.

  European tile comes in a wide array of styles, textures and finishes, further adding to the versatility of these expertly crafted pieces. For instance, natural stone colours in grey, beige, and cream are popular European options. Other on-trend, shaped tiles offer stylish contemporary colourways, from sage greens to pastel pinks and bright blues. Our selection includes a spectrum of shades to suit your home's style.

• Are European tiles more expensive than other tiles?

  European tiles use the highest quality materials and techniques to craft unique, luxurious and high-end ranges that look flawless in your home. As such, these tiles can be more costly than the average box you can pick up from the local DIY shop. Alongside the cost of importing the tiles from Europe, you're paying for the exceptional quality of each tile, which is often handcrafted or designed by skilled artisans. While European tiling may be more costly up-front, their longevity and timeless style mean they can last many years beyond low-cost tiles, saving you money year after year.

• Are European tiles and Italian tiles the same?

  Italian tiles are a type of European tile and feature alongside tiles from other European countries in our collection. As the original home of luxury tile, dating back to ancient Rome and the Middle Ages, Italy is well-known for its luxurious, high-end tiles. Much like the rest of Europe, their reputation in creating artisan products, including ceramics and porcelain, makes Italian tile a top choice for Australian homes. While the techniques used in Italian, Spanish or other European countries may differ, all the tiles we stock are of the same high quality, handpicked to suit our customers.
