Tiles by Room — Bathroom, Kitchen, Living, Outdoor & Commercial
The same tile is right in one room and wrong in the next. These pages set out what actually governs the choice in each space — slip rating in a bathroom, heat and grease in a kitchen, abrasion in a shop, frost outdoors — and which of our ranges answers it.

Bathroom Tiles
Slip rating governs
Wet floors, barefoot traffic and small areas. Textured floor tiles with an R10 or R11 rating, and larger formats on the walls to reduce grout lines.
Bathroom Tiles ›Kitchen Tiles
Grease, heat and dropped pans
Matt floors that are not lethal when oil is spilled, and wall or splashback surfaces that survive being scrubbed daily.
Kitchen Tiles ›Living Room Tiles
Appearance leads
Low traffic, so the decorative range opens right up. Large format gloss marble effects, or wood-look planks where warmth matters.
Living Room Tiles ›Outdoor & Patio Tiles
Frost and slip
Terraces, driveways, poolsides and balconies. R11 minimum, frost resistant bodies, and 20 mm pavers where the tile carries the load.
Outdoor & Patio Tiles ›Commercial Tiles
Abrasion governs
Shops, offices, hospitals and airports. Full body or double charged, because a printed surface will wear through in the traffic lines.
Commercial Tiles ›Staircase Tiles
Safety and matched sets
The most worn and most dangerous surface in a building. Matched tread and riser sets with a proper anti-slip nosing.
