How We Help You Choose Tiles
Our team knows that tile selection is just the start—grout colour, layout and spacing all shape the final look. We help you choose grout that either contrasts to make patterns pop or blends in for a seamless appearance. This choice can completely shift the mood of your space, especially in bathrooms, kitchens or entryways.
We also help you decide on the right layout—straight lay, brick bond, diagonal or herringbone—based on tile shape, room size and natural lighting. Larger tiles suit open-plan areas, while smaller formats or mosaics work better in compact spaces or detailed features.
With the right combinations in place, we create flooring or wall finishes that are cohesive, functional and visually appealing—helping your tiles do more than just cover a surface.
Why Proper Subfloor Prep Matters
It's crucial to ensure your tiles or natural stone look good not just on day one but for years. That starts with proper subfloor preparation. Professional tilers inspect every surface before installation to check for moisture, movement, or unevenness. Skipping this step can lead to cracks, loose tiles or premature wear, especially in older homes across Nambour, where subfloors can be unpredictable.
Tilers will level, patch or prime surfaces as needed and choose the right adhesives and waterproofing systems based on the location and materials. Stone tiles may need additional support due to their weight, while outdoor tiling requires slip resistance and drainage planning.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are there slip-resistant tile options?
Yes, many tiles are designed with textured or matte finishes to improve grip and reduce the risk of slipping. Slip ratings (such as R10, R11) help identify how suitable a tile is for different environments. For wet areas like bathrooms, laundries or pool surrounds, slip-resistant tiles are strongly recommended to improve safety.
Can tiles be installed over existing flooring?
In many cases, tiles can be installed over existing surfaces like concrete, vinyl or even old tiles—provided the base is level, stable and clean. Loose, uneven or soft flooring must be removed first. Professional assessment is crucial to ensure proper adhesion and avoid future cracking or lifting. A primer or levelling compound may be used to prepare the surface before laying new tiles.
What’s the best grout to use for floor tiles?
Sanded grout is commonly used for floor tiles, especially where joints are 3mm or wider. It provides strength and helps resist shrinkage or cracking. Unsanded grout is best for narrower joints. Epoxy grout, though more expensive, offers exceptional stain resistance and durability, making it ideal for wet or high-traffic areas. Colour selection also affects the finished look—contrasting grout can highlight patterns, while matching tones offer a more seamless appearance.
