TILE UP

From renovating your home to building a new house from scratch, tiling plays a big role in your kitchen and bathroom. Tiles come in different sizes, shapes and styles and span across floors and walls.

With new looks popping up left, right and centre, it can be hard to know which tiles measure up best for your scenario. With help from a few professionals, we discover what you need to know about tiling different spaces in your home.

STYLE FILE: PORCELAIN TILES

Porcelain tiles are a popular choice among renovators and builders, with the ceramic style suitable for both flooring and walls. Made from dense clay fired at a higher temperature than standard ceramic tiles, porcelain is a popular non-porous option, making it perfect for rooms with fluctuating temperatures like your kitchen or bathroom.

They’re resilient and resistant to wear, making them suitable for high-traffic spots in the home. Porcelain tiles are also incredibly durable as they’re stain-and scratch-resistant and easy to clean. They come in a versatile range of finishes, sizes and styles.

If you’re leaning more towards a natural look like stone, marble or timber but would like to still use the highly durable porcelain, this can be achieved through high-resolution printing technology available at leading tile retailers.
