Flooring That Makes an Impact

Bathrooms should feel like a sanctuary, offering beautiful personal spaces for public and employees. Bathrooms deserve just as much attention to style and personality as any other room.

When planning your bathroom design, it’s easy to end up with too many shiny, hard surfaces. Instead, incorporate a variety of textures to give the space warmth and depth for floors and walls, opt for tiles with character—think hand-finished looks with unique glazes, textured stones, or marble-inspired finishes.

Why Tiles are Perfect for Bathroom Surfaces

  • Water Resistance: Bathrooms are high-moisture areas, making tiles the perfect solution - they handle moisture effortlessly and unlike paint and wallpaper, won’t peel, lift or stain.
  • Durability: Tiles can handle high traffic, making them a smart long-term investment.
  • They can handle heavy usage, water spills and even dropped items without cracking or wearing down, unlike softer materials like vinyl or laminate.
  • Easy Maintenance: A quick wipe or mop keeps tiles looking fresh.
  • Design Versatility: Thanks to technical and ink-jet image innovations, tiles offer endless style possibilities to fit any look, from minimalist to rustic.
  • Healthier Environment: Tiles resist mould, dust, and allergens without high maintenance.

Splashbacks with Style

For splashbacks, 2025 trends point to bold, artful designs like eye-catching subway tiles (which are trending on thinner formats), hydraulic patterns, and funky handmade-look squares. These bring a practical yet creative touch to your bathroom.

Bring Nature Indoors

Biophilic design is all the rage, and botanical-inspired tiles in lush greens or nature-inspired prints bring the outdoors in. Large-format décor tiles make it easy to create a calming, nature-connected bathroom.

Wood-Look Warmth

If you love the look of timber but your specification demands a low-maintenance option, our wood-look tiles bring warmth and charm to any room without scratching or fading. From deep oak to warm maple tones, they offer the beauty of wood with the resilience of tile.

Terrazzo and Textured Stone

The beloved terrazzo tile has returned in a big way. Its Venetian roots give a unique look to any space, with colour and chip size options that make it versatile for both floors and walls.

Faux Marble Elegance

Marble-look tiles are evolving. With the ease of porcelain, these tiles mimic the luxury of marble without the upkeep of natural stone. From soft veining to dramatic contrasts, they’re an affordable way to bring elegance to your space.
