Tiling

Stylish, practical tiles for every space.

Tiles are a smart way to protect your walls and floors while adding personality and polish to your home. Easy to clean, long-lasting and available in a huge range of styles, they’re ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and more.

Whether you’re after something classic or contemporary, we’ll help you find the right tiles for your space, your lifestyle and your budget.

Tile guide - what to consider

Traffic & Durability

Not all tiles are made for the same level of wear. Think about how often the space is used, and by whom – pets, children and heavy footfall all have an impact.

Check the PEI rating (Porcelain Enamel Institute) to understand durability:

  • PEI 1 – very light traffic
  • PEI 3 – medium traffic
  • PEI 5 – heavy, high-traffic areas

Our team can guide you to the right tile based on room use and longevity.

Which tile is right for you?

  • Ceramic tiles: Affordable, versatile and widely used in homes, ceramic tiles come in a huge variety of colours, shapes and finishes. They’re easy to clean and ideal for most walls and floors.
  • Porcelain tiles: Harder and denser than ceramic, porcelain tiles are water-resistant and highly durable. Perfect for high-traffic areas, bathrooms and outdoor spaces.
  • Glass tiles: Stylish and reflective, glass tiles add brightness and colour to walls and splashbacks. Available in a wide range of shades, they’re great for feature walls and decorative borders.
  • Mosaic tiles: Made from small pieces for intricate designs, mosaics are ideal for wetrooms, shower floors and pool areas. The extra grout lines help reduce slipperiness underfoot.
  • Quarry tiles: Unglazed and full of rustic charm, quarry tiles are strong and slip-resistant. Ideal for utility rooms, hallways or traditional interiors with a practical edge.

Picking the right natural stone

Looking for something unique with natural texture and timeless beauty? Each type of stone has its own look and properties:

  • Slate – Durable and low-maintenance with rich, earthy tones
  • Limestone – Warm and elegant, but porous and needs sealing
  • Travertine – Textured and characterful, with a classic soft finish
  • Quartz – Dense and polished, ideal for high-end, modern interiors
  • Terracotta – Rustic and traditional, perfect for country-style homes
  • Marble – Sophisticated and veined, a statement for classic designs
  • Granite – Tough and luxurious, with a glossy, speckled appearance
  • Cobbles – Reclaimed-style stones, great for driveways and courtyards
  • Sandstone – Textured and natural-looking, with a granular feel

Adhesives, Grouts & Levellers.
