  CERAMIC TILES:
The best-known types of ceramic loft tiles are stoneware tiles or porcelain stoneware. Well suited for living spaces and are mainly utilised indoors; this glazed stoneware has unique features that make it an adaptable material for various surfaces for residential houses and commercial buildings.

Low porosity (glazed) and high strength makes this product suitable for locations exposed to dirt, moisture and wear, such as bathrooms and kitchens. For bathroom floors unglazed (UGL) stoneware is less slippery.

   

  PORCELAIN TILES:
Porcelain tiles (a type of ceramic tile) is a popular floor tile because of its slip resistance, low porosity, durability and stain resistance. Its porosity is very low; therefore, it is very easy to maintain.

Due to their strength, they are available in larger sizes and are strongly recommended for high traffic spaces such as stairs, corridors and kitchens. They are typically sized at 30x60cm and going beyond 120x120cm, ranging in thickness from 3mm to 20mm.

  WALL TILES:
Wall tiles is the ceramic that normally features on the walls of bathrooms and kitchens and is very glossy. It is very resistant to abrasion and easy to clean due to its enamel finishing.

These are not suitable for outdoor use as they can be very slippery when wet.

  NATURAL STONE:
Stone tiles can confidently fit into modern interiors, and its surface brings a contrasting appearance and character to your home. It offers all the natural shades as well as being very durable, good temperature regulation, and possibly increase your property value.

NOTE: Because they are porous, they require regular sealing to prevent water damage and staining.

  GRANITE:
Granite tiles are very durable and commonly used for flooring both inside and outside. They offer several benefits including superb durability, resistance to moisture and stains, and come in a wide range of styles and colours. Their hard surface can withstand persistent foot traffic and is ideal for high-use areas like kitchens and hallways.

   

  MARBLE:
Marble tiling is a lustrous stone that offers many advantages: tough and well- polished, it has a reflective surface that can be weathered. They provide a luxurious look, resist stains and scratches, and can be easily cleaned. However, under its durable appearance, marble tiles are a less durable material that require regular up-keep.

Marble is also a more environmentally sustainable choice for flooring covering.

  TERRACOTTA:
Dating back to ancient Rome, terracotta tiles have stood the test of time. Transport yourself to the rich, rustic, and sun-soaked Mediterranean with their Saltillo tile or clay tiles, attractive for indoor or outdoor floor spaces. Made from easily moulded clay with a high iron content that gives the tiles their recognisable reddish-brown colour.

However, Terracotta is still very porous, less resistant to staining and therefore requires a water sealant / stain protector.

  GLASS BLOCKS:
The main objective of using hollow glass block is to create sections in the wall in order to maximise sunlight or other sources of light. Besides, its distinctive appearance, glass block is desired for its practical properties. It's strong, sound and weather resistant and allows for privacy while still transmitting light.

Glass brick is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms where daylight diffusion is an issue. Glass bricks are available in a variety of translucent colours.

  MOSAIC:
Mosaic tiles can have transparent strong colours, varying hues, and many faces according to your desires. It can adorn the walls of your bathroom, your kitchen countertop, the floor of your lounge, the floor of your swimming pool or your garden spaces. Mosaic has the advantage of durability, and resisting moisture and dirt.

The term mosaic essentially means a design that's comprised of many smaller pieces of tile which can be made of various materials such as glass, stone, and porcelain.

  GLASS MOSAIC:
As the name suggests they are tiles made from glass, often with each tile encasing a selection of different smaller, equally sized pieces of varying coloured glass all set on a mosaic mesh backing sheet to keep the tile as one. By being made of many colours, shapes, finishes and shades, glass mosaic tiles provide excellent avenues to transform any space in a wide variety of ways.

It is one of the best materials for creating frescos.

  BORDERS:
Add borders tiles to create the ideal finish to your wall installation. Border tiles can be great for sectioning off or separating two areas or rooms. One great example is the use of borders to distinguish a dining room and open-plan kitchen. Maybe you want to section off your shower booth from the rest of the bathroom.

  SKIRTING:
Completing the floor plan, pedestal or skirting must be selected and planned with care. Skirting should offer a seamless look between floor and wall - they provide a seal between the floor and wall as well as avoid sweep marks against the wall. They are an easy to clean, durable alternative to wood skirting boards as they are water resistant and long lasting.
