About Tiling

Caring for you tiles

Ceramic tiles a extremely durable and can withstand general wear and tear and in the long run are generally maintenance free. Simply by mopping or wiping with a damp cloth along with an all purpose cleaner should remove stains and dirt easily. Never use hard steel wool scourers or harsh abrasive chemicals on glass and ceramic tiles as this could damage the shine and lustre of the tile. Even a household window cleaner does the trick for special glass tiled areas like feature splash backs There are however commercial cleaners available from good hardware stores for badly stained or weathered outdoor areas.

Colour guide

When choosing the right colour combination for your home renovation, consider the basic principles of the colour wheel. (pictured below) Of course, selecting something that is fashionable now, may not be the trend 10 years from now so consider this when designing your space. There are many combinations of colour i.e. Analogous Colour scheme, which consist of three colours that sit directly next to each other on the colour wheel e.g.: yellow through to green. This particular effect is seen more throughout nature and provides a harmonious feeling. Another combination is Complimentary Colour Scheme. This is when two colours are directly opposite on the colour wheel e.g.: Blue to yellow. This combination creates maximum impact & contrast while also creating balance. Creating a colour combination for your renovation can be as extreme or subtle as you wish. There are vast ranges of hues and designs for tiles so let your imagination go wild!

Common mistakes when selecting tiles

We recommend speaking to a good tile shop, like Coolum Tiles, they can help you with any information you need to know. When tiling a patio or somewhere similar on the outside of the house, you really need to buy a non-slip tile, so the surface does not become slippery due to weather etc. On the inside when choosing a tile, consider when buying ceramic or porcelain, there will be different cost involved with each, as porcelain takes longer to lay and is harder to cut. Some porcelain needs to be sealed and polished, which also adds to overall cost. Feature tiles and mosaics also cost more, because of the extra time involved.
