Tiles

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

• Which tiles are the best for the floor?

  Porcelain tiles are arguably one of the best types of tile for your home flooring as they are easy to clean and maintain, are durable, and come in an array of colours and designs, meaning you have a lot of design options to choose from. Made from a ceramic product that has a nonporous surface, they are easy to sweep and mop with water. Because they are stain resistant, they are also the perfect solution for any homeowner with pets or children who create a lot of mess.

• Which type of tiles are best for homes?

  Ceramic tiles are an ideal choice for any room in the home, including the bathroom, kitchen and hallway. Not only are they water resistant so they can be used in areas where moisture may be a concern, but they also come in an array of design styles from traditional to contemporary. With their classic, timeless appearance, they are extremely versatile and can help tie together different parts of your home décor. Opt for a crisp and modern white tile in the bathroom to help reflect light or select a more natural colour option like brown for a rustic-style kitchen. Another benefit of ceramic is that it's suitable for both the walls and floor, so you can use it to make splashbacks and tile entire rooms too.

• What type of tile is in style?

  Terrazzo and tiles that look like stone, and other textured tiles are in style right now. Marble also continues to be one of the most popular tiles for flooring and walls in the home. Chosen for its elegance and luxurious touch, marble never fails to make an impact, creating an effortless sense of extravagance and comfort all in one. Marble’s popularity is only heightened by its ability to reflect natural light, illuminating your home and making it feel more spacious, especially during the cold winter months. Marble is also timeless.

• What is the cost of laying tiles?

  On average, professional tiling services will cost between $30/$45 per square metre. However, it’s important to bear in mind that costs will differ depending on factors like the scale of the job, the type of tiles used, and the experience of the tiler, so make sure to get more than one quote so you can compare prices like for like.

• Can I install tiles by myself?

  DIY tiling is one of the more straightforward projects you can attempt yourself when renovating your home. However, if you're new to tiling, it can take a lot of time to do, and it's likely that you'll need to learn how to cut the tiles and grout them too. As such, more often than not, you are better off hiring a professional to ensure the best results.
