What are tiles?

Tiles are hard-wearing slabs made from materials such as ceramic, porcelain, stone, or glass. They’re designed to cover walls, floors, or splashbacks, offering both protection and decoration. Modern tiles come in countless shapes, colours, and textures, from sleek minimal styles to bold statement designs.

Why choose tiles?

  • Durable – Resistant to wear, water, and heat.

  • Stylish – Available in endless colours, patterns, and textures.

  • Practical – Easy to clean and maintain.

  • Versatile – Suitable for walls, floors, and feature areas.

  • Eco-friendly options – Many tiles are made from natural or recycled materials.

Where can tiles be used?

Tiles are ideal for:

  • Bathrooms – Walls, floors, and shower enclosures

  • Kitchens – Splashbacks, walls, and flooring

  • Hallways & entryways – Hard-wearing and easy to clean

  • Living rooms & feature walls – Add texture and style

  • Outdoor areas – Certain porcelain and stone tiles are weather-resistant

How to care for tiles

  • Ceramic & porcelain tiles: Wipe with warm water and mild detergent.

  • Stone tiles: Use specialist cleaners and seal periodically.

  • Glass tiles: Clean with a non-abrasive cloth to maintain shine.

  • Always clean grout regularly to prevent discolouration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are tiles waterproof?
Tiles themselves are water-resistant, but proper installation and grout sealing are essential for waterproofing.

What’s the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles?
Porcelain tiles are denser, harder, and more water-resistant than ceramic, making them better for high-traffic and outdoor areas.

Can tiles be used outdoors?
Yes, but only specific tiles such as porcelain or certain natural stones that can withstand weather conditions.

Do tiles require sealing?
Porcelain usually does not, but natural stone tiles (like marble or limestone) often require sealing to protect against stains.
