The everyday heroes of every project: porcelain and ceramic tiles in the sizes, colours and finishes that suit how each room is used.
Porcelain is the go-to for floors because it is dense and hard-wearing, indoors and out. Ceramic is lighter and easier to cut, which makes it ideal for walls, splashbacks and feature areas where colour and glaze do the talking. Both come in stone, concrete, terrazzo and timber looks.
Rather than show you hundreds of near-identical options, we curate a short list that suits your space, style and budget, and we check the slip rating for every floor tile against where it is going.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose porcelain or ceramic?
Porcelain for floors, outdoor areas and heavy traffic; ceramic is fine for most walls. Our porcelain versus ceramic guide explains the difference without the sales talk.
What does rectified mean?
A rectified tile is ground after firing so every edge is straight and every tile is the same size. That allows a narrower grout joint and a cleaner, more architectural finish.
