QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wood-effect tiles be installed in wet shower areas?

Yes! You enjoy the warmth of timber flooring in bathrooms and wet rooms without warping, rot, or water damage.

Why should plank tiles not be laid at 50% brick-bond?

All long tiles have a slight natural arch. Laying planks with a 1/3 offset ensures joints align with the flattest part of adjacent tiles.
