How do I choose the right flooring for my home?
The best flooring depends on the room's traffic levels and moisture exposure. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, choose a tile with low water absorption. For living areas, focus on the aesthetic and PEI rating (durability) to ensure the surface resists scratches from furniture and pets.
Whatβs the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles?
Although visually similar, porcelain tiles are denser and fired at higher temperatures, making them extremely water-resistant and appropriate for both indoor and outdoor environments. Ceramic tiles are generally easier to cut and more affordable, thus making them ideal for interior walls and light-use floors.
Can I install these tiles myself?
Yes, many home renovators successfully install their own floor tiles. However, achieving a professional-level finish requires the right tools, such as a manual tile cutter or wet saw, and proper base preparation. For large-format tiles or complex patterns, we encourage consulting a professional installer.
How do I calculate how many tiles I need?
Measure the total area in square meters (m2) by multiplying the length of the room by the width. We strongly recommend adding a 10% wastage allowance (extra tiles to cover cuts, shaping, and future repairs) to your total.
Are your tiles suitable for underfloor heating?
Most of our porcelain and ceramic ranges are well-suited to underfloor heating (UFH) systems. Their excellent thermal conductivity allows heat to spread evenly and retain warmth efficiently. Always check the specific product specifications for the "Underfloor Heating Compatible" icon before purchasing.
How do you handle returns for unused or excess tiles?
We accept returns on full, unopened boxes of tiles within our standard return period. We recommend keeping one or two spare tiles from your specific batch/shade code in case of accidental damage in the future, as matching shades can be difficult once a production run has ended.
