Unlike the tiles normally used for high traffic areas of your home, choosing the right bathroom tiles is critical because they get exposed to moisture and temperature change.
With virtually thousands of different styles, sizes, colours and finishes out there, jumping into a bathroom reno or build can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.

There’s a tile for that! No matter what bathroom style you’re envisioning, you’ll find it in our Perth showrooms. We only source the highest quality tiles to ensure your bathroom can be enjoyed for a long time to come.
The most common type of tile used in bathrooms are porcelain tiles. Porcelains are denser and more durable than ceramic tiles. They come in polished, semi polished and matt finishes which can be used across floor and wall applications.
Mosaic tiles are also a popular option. They can create a focal point in your bathroom or define a particular area with an intricate pattern or design. Other types of tiles you might see used in bathrooms include natural stone and ceramic tiles.
We specialise in a large selection of rectified and non-rectified bathroom tiles that are tough, versatile, easy to clean and maintain.
Although there’s no hard rule to choosing bathroom tiles, there are a few things worth looking out for. These include:
As a general rule, polished porcelain or gloss glazed ceramic tiles will be more slippery than tiles with natural or matte finishes.
If you create a design with diagonal lines, it gives the eye a longer path to follow, giving the feeling that it looks bigger.
Mosaic tiles or penny rounds are also regularly used for small bathrooms, shower floors and feature walls. Often a little bit of size play and colour thrown in by a mosaic will create a lively little bathroom.
A glossy wall tile is reflective, can make a room seem bigger, and tends to look brighter and lighter when paired with darker colour schemes. Dark tiles add warmth and are great at hiding dirt, but it can make your bathroom feel smaller. Combine the two, and you can create a subtle balance.
Neutral tones are ideal for simple designs, where you want other features in your bathroom to shine. Light coloured tiles can make a tight space appear more open.
Our experienced stylist team can provide expert technical advice every step of the way to ensure the perfect results for your bathroom build or reno.

Determining the perfect bathroom tile hinges on factors such as size, intended purpose, and your bathroom’s aesthetic. Porcelain tiles consistently emerge as a top choice due to their density, resilience, longevity, and impressive water resistance.
Mosaic tiles offer another compelling option, allowing for artistic expression while upholding durability and endurance.
Those yearning to infuse warmth into their space often turn to natural stone tiles, although they necessitate precise sealing due to their porous nature.
Ceramic tiles, akin to porcelain, offer resilience but are thinner and less impervious to water. Nonetheless, they grant versatility and cost-efficiency through versatile mix-and-match possibilities.
Every tile undergoes slip-wear rating evaluations, indicating its level of slipperiness. The higher the Slip-wear rate, the higher the grip.
Porcelain tiles outshine mosaic tiles in density and durability. While porcelain excels in water resistance, mosaics provide a canvas for increased customisation.
However, both excel for flooring and wall applications.

Several considerations come into play when choosing bathroom tiles:
Tile colour profoundly influences your bathroom’s ambience and the illusion of space. While lighter hues suit smaller bathrooms, innovative use of patterns and contrasting tones can impart a sense of expansiveness.
