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.

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 […]

Why Modern Bathrooms Start With the Right Tile Choice (Not Fixtures)
Ask most people where they start when renovating a bathroom, and the answer is usually the same. They talk about tapware. They obsess over the vanity, too. They spend hours comparing matte-black fittings to brushed-nickel fittings. It's understandable — fixtures are visible, tactile, and easy to shop for. But it's the wrong starting point. When […]

How to Design a Bathroom That Still Looks Good in 10 Years
There’s a particular kind of regret that shows up in bathrooms. It’s usually not about craftsmanship. It’s the colour. The pattern. The fixture that felt exciting the day it was installed, but within a few short years, felt strangely dated. Bathrooms are expensive to renovate and disruptive to redo. So, the real question isn’t “what’s […]

Matte vs Gloss Bathroom Tiles: What Actually Works in Real Homes
Walking into a tile showroom and choosing between matte and gloss is a simple style choice. One seems soft and modern. The other is fine and polished. Either way, you’ll be pleased with your choice. And then the tiles go into a real bathroom, and that's when it gets real. Most mornings, the floor is […]

Large Format Bathroom Tiles: The Secret to Luxury Hotel-Look Spaces
Walk into almost any luxury hotel bathroom, and there’s a feeling that hits before anything else does. The room feels calm. Open. Almost weightless. There is no tiny mosaic grid demanding your attention, and if you can see the grout lines at all, they sit quietly in the background rather than separating the space into […]
