If you’re interested in installing tiles into your home, but you’ve never had to order tiles before, you might be a bit confused as to how to go about doing this.
There’s more to ordering a set of tiles than simply getting in touch with your chosen suppliers. As a starting point, you should be looking to get your hands on some tile samples before you complete your order. Testing tile samples in your correct, intended space is very important, as the look of a tile can vary slightly room-to-room with different lighting.
You ideally need to base this sample choice on what colour you prefer, the tile’s surface texture, and its material in general. Only after you’ve settled on these, and seen a few sample options, should you begin the order process.
Below are a few tips on how to pick the right tiles for your project, and what to do when ordering, depending on which stage of the process you’re at.
How to choose the right tiles for your project
When it comes to picking the right tiles, it’s important to take your time to consider the different material options and the suitability for the intended uses:
1. You want to begin by deciding between natural stone tiles or porcelain tiles.
2. Only after you’ve made this choice should you choose appropriate tiles based on your specifications, and request a series of sample sets.
3. Once you’ve received your tile samples and have decided which ones you’d like to go ahead with, your next step is to head to our website, and place your order.
