While most tiles can go on walls, only specific tiles can be used for floors. This is due to the firing process and durability of tiles suitable for the floor. Each product page on our website indicates where you can use the tile.

In our showroom, tiles are clearly labelled to ensure you select the right tile for the right application. F= Floor and W= Wall.

Slip rated tiles have undergone testing to ensure they meet strict slip resistant standards for commercial and residential use. Many of our tiles come with slip ratings and are suitable for use in residential and commercial spaces.

The National Construction Code (NCC) specifies slip resistance ratings on stairways, landings and ramps in private residential buildings.

A rectified tile has a precise square-cut edge, allowing tiles to be laid very closely together with smaller grout joins. Non-rectified tiles have a slightly rounded or “cushioned” edge, which creates a more traditional looking tile with a wider grout join.

The main difference between a porcelain and ceramic tile is the rate of water they absorb. Most porcelain tiles absorb less than 0.5% of water whilst ceramic tiles will absorb more.

Porcelain is denser and stronger than ceramic, however ceramic options offered by Myaree Ceramics may be used for most interior applications.

As tiles used externally will be exposed to natural elements, porcelain products are recommended over ceramic, as they are stronger and more stable under harsh conditions.

Please consult our team for information on slip ratings for exterior use.

When tiling inside a pool we recommend floor grade porcelain tiles, as they are more durable and wear better over time. Mosaics are also a popular choice and come in a large array of colours and designs.

Paperfaced or Dot Mounted mosaics are recommended over mesh backed mosaics, as better adhesion is achieved during the laying process.

Matt finish tiles are advised for floors, as they are less slippery when wet, however the choice of finish is up to you.

Myaree Ceramics can assist you in finding a tile that feels comfortable underfoot, whilst still being safe and easily maintainable.

Not necessarily. Unless you have a short fall to your drain or small drain, large format tiles can provide a contemporary aesthetic and create a feeling of spaciousness.

Porcelain is one of the hardest materials you can use as flooring, and is extremely scratch and stain resistant. We can assist you in finding the right tile for the right application, to ensure your tiles will continue to look great for years to come.

Batch variation is an inherent feature associated with tile production. There may be slight size, shade and surface quality variations between different batches of tiles. Variations may be more noticeable with plain or subtly patterned tiles.

Some items on our website and in our showroom are not stocked, but can be ordered upon request. As they’re special order in, there will be different conditions applied to the sale.

Order in items are non-returnable, non-refundable, require a deposit prior to ordering and are sold in full boxes only.

This is when tiles are distributed over the area being tiled prior to being glued down and grouted. This technique ensures any tonal or pattern variations within your tiles are distributed evenly.

In the same way high ceilings open up a space, high tiling can give the illusion of a bigger and more cohesive space. Tiled surfaces are also easy to maintain.

You definitely can! Tiling over old tiles is a great way of saving time and money.

A few things to consider:

• Make sure the existing tiles are in good condition

• Check for loose or cracked pieces that may prevent a suitable bond

• Ensure tiles are free from dirt, oil, grease and dust

If this is something you are considering please inform our team when selecting your tiles.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, tiles may become unavailable or discontinued. This may be as a result of the manufacturer discontinuing an entire range, or particular tiles from a series.

If you find a tile you love, we recommend placing an order as soon as possible to ensure stock availability and avoid disappointment.

Given the nominal size variances between tiles, we recommend all grout lines are offset.

Even if floor and wall tiles are selected from the same range in the same size, there’s no guarantee the grout joins will line up once laid. Remember that once your space is completed, the accessories and fittings will distract the eye from the joints, making them much less noticeable!

You can work out your grout needs using the grout and glue calculator here.

To ensure you get the most out of your visit to Myaree Ceramics, we recommend full home tile selections are booked during business hours, Monday to Friday.

Whilst we are happy to serve you on a Saturday, booked tile selections are capped at 45 minutes.

You may amend your selection with prior approval from your builder, and before an order has been submitted.

For an efficient selection you will need:

• a copy of your final plans

• your builder’s allowance

• inspiration images, articles etc.

• material swatches of finishes already selected

This helps us understand the extent of your build/renovation, and allows us to provide you with accurate design advice. The builder’s allowance is particularly important so we understand which tiles are included in your package.

The time it takes to complete a selection can vary, as it depends on the scale of your home and how prepared you are prior to coming in. A full home selection can take anywhere between two to three hours.

Please contact us on 9330 3611 or [email protected].

Calling us is preferred, so we can address the matter as quickly as possible. Please be sure to have your order number ready.

Stock will be held only once a deposit has been paid against the order. We require a 50% deposit to secure stock.

Please contact us as soon as possible, with your Order Number ready to go.

It is usually recommended to allow an extra 10% to 15% for wastage depending on the tile and how it is being laid. If the tile is an end of line, discontinued, large format (600x1200mm or bigger) or an order in product we recommend a wastage allowance of 20%.

Once your order has been paid in full and all tiles are in stock, you can book a delivery by contacting us on (08)9330 3611 or email your sales consultant directly.
