Ceramic Tiles

The glaze used on the top surface makes these tiles ideal for use in bathrooms as it prevent moisture penetration when the right grouts and adhesives are used.


Mosaic Tiles

wall tiles, floor tiles, mosaic tilesThese tiles have become increasingly popular in recent years and are a series of very small sized tiles mounted on a plastic mesh backing. This mesh backing is typically 30cm square and assists with the installation while making the tile flexible. Mosaic tiles are available in a wide variety of materials including ceramic, natural stone and glass. Due to the flexibility of these tiles they are particularly suited for tiling round shaped or curved areas in the bathroom.


Natural Stone Tiles
