A Practical Guide to Tile Installation and Care

Key considerations for quantities, laying, cutting, grouting, cleaning and ongoing maintenance. Good specification begins with the relationship between application, format, finish, light and long-term care.

Start with the application

Identify where the material will be used, how it will be handled and the visual role it needs to play. Product code, size, thickness, surface technology and pattern continuity all contribute to the final result.

Cabinetry and furniture finishes can extend the same direction through the wider interior.\n\nBefore ordering, confirm the current product code, physical colour, finish, quantity, installation method and availability.
