“Which tiles should we select?”
This will depend on your specific project. However, here are some questions you will want to consider:
Coverage – will you require just a floor tile or will wall tiles, splashbacks and skirting tiles also need to be selected? What size has been allowed for in what areas?
Location – what rooms are you seeking the tiles to cover? Will you need the living area, dining room, bedroom, bathrooms, laundry or even the entire house, including outdoor areas?
Tile Types – what is the allowed for price, this is usually a per m2 price indicated towards a particular size range of tiles? Along with this is the tile allowance rectified or non-rectified? Porcelain or ceramic? Read about Rectified Tiles here.
Pool tiles – are you building a pool and seeking pool tiles? Will you be needing the whole pool tiled or just the pool waterline tiles? Have mosaics or porcelains been allowed for and for what price per m2?
Outdoor/porch area – will you be building an outdoor area that will be in need of tiles? Do you want this to match the main floor? Is there enough sub structure to support standard tiles or will you need to allow for enough time to order in non-slip or 20mm thick tiles?
“What do I need to bring to tile selection?”
Try and narrow down what style you are looking for even just down to what colours you are working with before you come. If you need some inspiration see the latest 2022 trends here.
If you have access to any house plans we encourage you to bring them to your tile selection. This will allow us to have a better understanding of sizing and design requirements that are best interpreted through the housing plans. More information the better! Our goal is to help you build your dream home, one tile at a time!
If you’re running short on time, not to worry. We can make a start and pick it up another day or work through your selections via Email or Text. Just keep in mind it is always 100% best to view your tile first hand so you can ensure the correct colour and look.
