Can you tile over tiles?

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles. In fact, doing this can save you time and money. However, you’ll want to make sure your old tiles aren’t loose or damaged before tiling over them.

When buying tiles, how much extra should I buy?

You should buy about 10-15% more tiles than you anticipate using in the project. You’ll need extra tiles to ensure that any broken during the installation process can be replaced and to give a degree of leeway in case of miscalculation.

How big is a stone slab?

The dimensions of a stone slab can vary depending on the stone type and supplier. However, in Australia, standard dimensions for a stone slab tend to sit between lengths of 2800mm to 3400mm and heights of 1600mm to 2400mm.

How often should a stone floor be sealed?

Most stone is porous, which means it needs to be re-sealed every three to five years. Before resealing, the old seal may need to be removed with an intensive cleaner.

ArchiPro Products

There are plenty of tiles and stones on the market, of varying quality, but ArchiPro features only the best available options from trusted suppliers in Australia. From organic stone pavers to stepping stones across your garden or new tiles to spruce up the shower, we have so many types available! Though tiles and stones are functional, they can also make for striking visual features, so enjoy browsing our range for something special.

Floor tiles

Tiles are an excellent material to use for flooring since they can withstand high traffic thanks to their durability, and are easy to maintain. Stone slabs also provide similar benefits as flooring.

Wall tiles

Wall tiles have lower functional demands than floor tiles so can be more versatile in design. Glazed tile and stone make ideal wall coverings for bathrooms and kitchens since they’ll be protected from stains and won’t absorb moisture.

Ceiling tiles

Ceiling tiles can improve the acoustics of a room and enhance ambient lighting. They can be made from a wide variety of materials.

Concrete tiles

Concrete tiles are a durable and versatile flooring option, offering a range of colors and patterns that can mimic more expensive materials or stand out with unique artisanal designs.

Outdoor tiles

Outdoor tiles or outdoor pavers purposes should be outdoor approved, as many from the ArchiPro range are. In particular, they’ll need exceptional moisture resistance and protection from frost. They are seeing a recent rise in popularity in Australia.

Stone slabs

Stone slabs are large, flat pieces of natural stone used for a variety of applications. From countertops to flooring, stone slabs bring the beauty and durability of natural stone to any space, adding a timeless and luxurious touch.

The advantages of high-quality tiles and stones

Tiles and stones are both extremely durable and hygienic. They’re easy to maintain, requiring just a regular sweep and occasional mop to remain stunning. Used outdoors in Australia, tiles and stones can be used to create permeable surfaces, allowing water to filter through to the ground underneath. Not only are there a vast range of tile colours and stone appearances but they can also be given different finishes which give you even more aesthetic and functional choices.

Choosing the tiles and stones that are right for you

Remember that glazed tiles, which feature a glass wear layer, are more suited to low-traffic areas if used for flooring. Generally, the larger the room, the larger the tiles and stones you should select to install in it. If grout is selected in a contrasting colour to the tiles or stones, it will highlight the shape of the tile, which is great for interesting shapes like hexagons or triangles. Conversely, selecting a grout colour similar to the colour of the tile or stone will achieve a more seamless look.
