Endless Possibilities for Tile Applications
Tiles are not just surfaces; they're design chameleons, ready to completely transform any space. We offer tile application solutions that truly unlock endless possibilities!
Floors
From high-traffic commercial zones to elegant residential spaces, our tile range provides durable and stylish flooring options. Imagine the natural stone look of Byron porcelain with its P5 slip rating, perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Or the sophisticated marble effect of Esperance Italian-made tiles for interior floors needing a touch of luxury.
Walls
Walls become canvases with our diverse tile applications. Create feature walls with textured Riga tiles made in Italy, or add a splash of colour with the vibrant New York subway tile collection. For a hint of class, the Cabarita travertine-look tiles offer a classic wall finish with varying textures and colours.
Decorative Accents
Highlight details with stunning mosaics and unique formats. Use London subway tiles to create intricate patterns, or explore Alicante handmade-style tiles for artisanal charm. For a touch of texture, try our mosaic options, like penny rounds or finger mosaics, which come in various materials and colours.
Outdoor Tile Applications: Built for Beauty and Durability
Extend your design vision outdoors with tile finishes built to brave the elements. For patios, pools, and pathways, you need tiles that perform and impress.
Our range features durable pavers like Flamed Granite porcelain and Kingscliffe travertine-look pavers, which are beautifully designed with minimal maintenance.
Incorporate coping tiles from the Yamba or Lorne Ascoli series for seamless pool designs. Explore pattern options like French patterns to add unique style to pathways and patios.
