What You Need to Know When It Comes to Tiling a Space in Your Home

Preparation is the most crucial element in the process, whether it is your floors or walls. Accurately measuring your area will help determine how many tiles are required for your project and help things run smoothly without complications.

 

We have listed a few tips and tricks to ensure you always get the suitable tiles!

 

How ample is your space?

Firstly, you will need to determine just how ample your space is. Start by measuring your floor space before moving on to the wall space. You’ll need to convert metres and centimetres into square metres from here. This will make ordering your tiles easier. Our biggest tip when measuring is to do it twice to be sure.

 

Floor Plans

If you take your room’s measurements from the builder’s floor plans, be sure you have the most up-to-date version. Decide on the pattern and tiling technique you’re planning to use. This will influence the number of tiles you’ll need and the grout patterns and width when determining the final measurements.

 

When choosing tiles, bring your measurements and floor plans with you. The team at Aurees Tiles will be able to assess and assist you with the required amount.

 

Remove the window space, but add tiled skirtings and sills.

 

Always Order Extra

You should add 10–15 per cent when ordering to allow for breakages and spares. You’ll need to cut tiles to fit around aspects of your room, and the cut-offs may not be proper anywhere else. Others may become damaged during transit or blemished. Even if you end up with extra tiles, they will often be helpful later.

 

Consider Accessories

Also, consider any tiling accessories you want to add to ensure your project has a professional finish. Soap dishes, brass strips, and step edges will finish your tiling and give you a look like no other.

 

Tools Make All the Difference

As well as having the most extensive range in the business, Aurees Tiles has all the tools required to get the job done and done well. We supply everything from glue and paint mixers to spacers, all made to match our range and benefit any project you may be undertaking.

Black Tiles Adelaide Home: Bold Statement or Maintenance Nightmare?
Black tiles Adelaide homeowners choose can create a striking, sophisticated look, but they are not equally practical in every room. Their appearance and maintenance needs depend on the tile finish, the amount of natural light, the room's purpose and how much day-to-day cleaning you are prepared to do. In the right setting, black tiles can […]

Best Outdoor Tiles Adelaide: What Actually Survives the Heat
Choosing the best outdoor tiles Adelaide homeowners can rely on requires balancing style with extreme weather durability. Local summers place heavy demands on outdoor surfaces, requiring materials that withstand harsh UV rays, intense heatwaves, sudden weather shifts, and high foot traffic.

Timber-Look Tiles Adelaide: Warmth of Wood Without the Upkeep
Choosing timber-look tiles that Adelaide homeowners love provides the warmth of natural wood without the maintenance concerns of genuine timber. Specifically, wood-look tiles suit bathrooms, kitchens, living areas, and alfresco spaces where moisture, spills, or heavy foot traffic make real wood impractical. Modern timber-look porcelain and ceramic tiles reproduce grain patterns, knots, and natural colour […]

Grey Tiles Adelaide Resale: Why They're the Safest Bet
When local homeowners select tile colours before selling, grey is still the top choice.

Grout and Tile Maintenance: How to Keep Tiles Adelaide Looking New
Go into any Adelaide home five or 10 years after the tiles were laid, and you will usually hear one of two stories. In the first, the floor and walls still look as new as the day they were put down. The second is that the tiles themselves are fine, but the grout tells another […]

Kitchen Tiles Adelaide: Splashback and Floor Combinations That Work Together
Splashback and floor tiles are usually chosen weeks apart, sometimes by different people, and often at entirely different stages of a kitchen renovation. The floor gets locked in early, before the layout is even finalised, while the splashback is picked much later, once the benchtop and cabinetry are already installed. The result, more often than […]

Porcelain Benchtops and Splashback Tiles: The Adelaide Kitchen Trend Gaining Ground
There’s a clear shift in what people choose for their kitchens these days. It's no longer just splashback tiles behind the stove; now, large porcelain slabs do double duty as both a benchtop and a splashback, wrapping around the kitchen as one continuous surface. It’s not really a passing trend borrowed from a renovation show. […]

Entry and Living Room Tiles Adelaide: Making the First Impression Last
Look for furniture that can withstand the coastal elements. Untreated steel and lower-grade stainless steel are more prone to corrosion, whereas teak, powder-coated aluminium and 316 stainless steel are all excellent. Consider how exposed your outdoor area is to the wind. Heavier or lower-profile furniture is usually a better choice for open locations, while lighter […]
