Products and materials on the interior of the
house were chosen to provide a natural, inviting feel. This extended to the choice of tiles from
Tile Warehouse.
Floor tiles in the laundry and bathrooms
are 600mm x 600mm Rio Sandstone Grey Matt,
which combine the look of a natural sandstone
with the durability of a porcelain. This meets
with the owners’ desire for a low-maintenance
product with a natural feel to complement the
timber flooring.
Studio White Gloss 300mm x 600mm deck
jack tiles feature on the bathroom walls. The

gloss finish helps to reflect light in these rooms,
which have minimal natural light. Splashbacks
in the kitchen and laundry feature similar tiles
in a 150mm x 600mm format, which is in keeping with the overall theme, but with the twist of
a sleeker format.
Deck Sandstone Grey 600mm x 600m tiles
on the roof deck have a sandstone look, but are
low maintenance and durable.
Tile Warehouse is now 100% Kiwi owned,
with an extensive selection of new tile ranges,
including timber-look tiles, geometric mosaics
and tiles with a handmade artisan feel.
