ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT · NOT A COMPLETED PROJECT
A practical renovation guide

Plan tile as an installed system.

Choose materials suitable for the location and a layout that handles edges, niches and transitions. Installation details matter behind the finish. Tile format, grout, substrate and transitions need to work together. Review wet-area details and the chosen installation system before treating a tile sample as a complete specification.

Plan the detail with confidence
01

Choose a suitable installation assembly

Bathroom floor and wall tiles may serve different uses. Check the actual product and supporting system, including wet-area needs where relevant. Tile and grout alone should not be presented as a complete waterproofing strategy.

02

Plan layout and cleaning

Compare tile scale, grout and texture in the intended light. Discuss edge details, changes of plane and transitions to other surfaces. Review the actual cleaning instructions rather than assuming every pale or large-format tile is easy to maintain.

Understand the alternatives

Keep the right project context.

01

Powder room

Make careful use of a smaller footprint with suitable fixtures and practical storage.

02

Family bathroom

Plan for repeated daily use, cleaning and shared storage.

03

Primary bathroom

Balance a comfortable layout with the functions you will use regularly.

Avoid unnecessary rework

Common assumptions
to resolve early.

  • Selecting visible finishes before resolving the complete assembly.
  • Leaving fixture specifications, services and installation responsibilities undecided.
  • Assuming a photograph establishes feasibility or an appropriate access design.

Identify the functions you need, whether the tub should remain and how much storage is missing. Discuss any access needs individually, and plan how the household will manage bathroom access during the work.

Before you finalize selections

Details to compare for tile & flooring

Compare texture, grout layout and cleaning needs in addition to colour. A wall tile may not be suitable for the floor; review the actual product's intended use. Larger formats require an appropriate supporting surface and can create awkward narrow cuts in a small room. Ask for the proposed starting point and edge details before installation. Keep wet-area waterproofing decisions separate from the decorative tile selection so neither is overlooked.

Turn your choices into a clear scope

Bring the actual product information, a few photographs of the existing area and your priorities to the project discussion. Identify what stays, what changes and which decisions depend on the site assessment. Ask for the preparation, installation, related repairs and final adjustments to be written down alongside the selected finish.

Useful answers

Questions about
tile & flooring.

Use these answers to prepare for the project discussion. Confirm selected products, availability and property-specific requirements before committing to work.

Plan tile as an installed system — what should I review?

Tile format, grout, substrate and transitions need to work together. Review wet-area details and the chosen installation system before treating a tile sample as a complete specification.

What details belong in this part of the scope?

Tile format, layout, substrate, grout, wet-area assembly and edges. Confirm the proposed specification, preparation and responsibilities for these items before work begins.

Does new tile make a shower waterproof?

Tile and grout alone are not a complete water management strategy. Review the specified assembly and installation details.

Can I have a lower-threshold shower?

Feasibility depends on the structure, floor assembly, drainage and design. Review the property before committing to a threshold detail.

Should I replace the ventilation fan?

Review the existing ventilation and the proposed room. Suitability depends on the system and installation, not just the fan’s appearance.
