An introduction to tiles - the different types on the market

Tiles are a great way to add texture, pattern, colour, and beauty to any room in your home. Tile is a long lasting and durable material to use in any room of your house and it will stay looking great for years to come. There are so many different types of tile. You can find many colours and textures of tiles for any design theme or style.   [ Read more ]
 

   
Calculate the number of tiles you need for your next project
You will first need to know what area that you would like to tile.  If you are tiling a floor, you need to measure the length and the width. Multiply the length by the width and this will give you the square metres required.  If you are tiling a wall, you need to measure the length and the height of the area. Multiply the length by the height and this will give you the square metres required. 
We recommend that for both the floor and/or wall total square metres; always add 10% extra to allow for cutting and wastage. After tiling, some tiles should be saved for any future repairs.

How do I care for my tiles? 
Most tiles are basically low maintenance, but some rules need to be followed. Bathroom, kitchen and laundry tiles need only be cleaned with a mild detergent or household cleaner. There are really only two rules to follow. Don't use an abrasive cleaner such as a powder or gritty cream. These will cause minute scratches in the surface and make the tiles harder to clean the next time. Clean tiles regularly so dirt doesn't build up and wash you tiles regularly using hot clean water and a little neutral (not acidic or alkaline) soapless household cleaner.

Is there a weight limit for tiling walls?
Increasingly, floor tiles are being applied to walls and this is no problem so long as the walls are strong enough to support their weight and proper ceramic tile installation methods are used. However, it is not usual to recommend using wall tiles in floor applications.  Find out the weight limit of different wall products.
