Floor & Wall Tiles
A major visible finish choice, with wide variation in cost and quality.
Used for
- Flooring
- Kitchen and bathroom walls
- External paving
Quality considerations
- Check the tile's water absorption rating for wet areas like bathrooms — this affects durability and slip resistance.
- Buy slightly more than the calculated area to account for cutting waste and future repairs.
Common mistakes
- • Ordering the exact calculated quantity with no allowance for breakage or offcuts.
- • Mismatched batches causing visible colour variation across a floor.
Priced per square metre; imported and premium finishes cost significantly more than standard local options.
