Wall tiles should be selected from the wall construction, room exposure, tile weight and edge details. Confirm whether the surface is dry, wet, interior or exterior, then coordinate substrate, waterproofing, adhesive, grout, joints and penetrations.
| Material | Typical design value | Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Ceramic | Broad colour, size and decorative range | Wall rating, glaze and wet-area use |
| Porcelain | Large formats and stone effects | Weight, cutting, adhesive and support |
| Glass mosaic | Colour and reflective detail | Backing, adhesive colour and edges |
| Natural stone | Individual mineral variation | Weight, sealing, movement and cleaning |
Mark floor, ceiling, windows, doors, outlets, taps, niches, cabinets and mirrors. Set a datum that balances cuts. Confirm whether joints align with other surfaces and where the tile stops.
Check flatness, stability, moisture and wall-lining limits. In bathrooms, tile is a finish over documented wet-area construction. Protect penetrations and junctions before covering them.
Choose tile edges, trims, mitres or returns before ordering. Maintain movement joints and use compatible sealant at changes of plane where required.
See the Australian Tile Council standards summary for Australian tile installation and related references.
Sometimes, when weight, substrate, adhesive and manufacturer guidance support the application.
Only if the exact product is documented for the floor location.
They need flat walls, safe handling, suitable support and accurate cutting.
No. They are a finish within a documented wet-area system.
Use an approved tile edge, trim, return or other detailed termination.
Send elevations, substrate, exposure, format, quantity and destination through the Forge contact page.
Evidence boundary: General guidance only; verify wall support and installation requirements.
Compare stone-look wall tiles by material, relief, weight, joints, corners, substrate, lighting, cleaning and installation requirements.
