Tiles are not only an aesthetic element in a kitchen; they are also a practical element that affects the functionality of the space. That’s why it’s important to choose tiles that best fit your kitchen needs and complement the overall visual aesthetic.
At Tile Space, we understand the difficulty of choosing tile; with so many different types, sizes, and colours of tiles available, it can be overwhelming to decide which tile best suits your kitchen floor.

Ensure that you purchase floor tile that is called ‘floor tile’. This type of tile is thicker, heavier and has a denser surface than regular wall tiles. Porcelain tiles are the best choice for kitchen floors as they are highly resistant to wear and tear, stains, scratches and water damage, making them great for high-traffic areas such as kitchens.
For flooring, it is crucial to look for tiles that are non-porous for optimum hygiene, slip-resistant to prevent accidents, and stain resistant for increased durability.

Ceramic tiles are best used on walls, not floors, as they can easily crack from foot traffic. Porcelain floor tiles are best for kitchen flooring, as they are stronger and more durable than ceramic.

Large and Extra-Large format tiles best create the illusion of a larger space. With fewer grout lines to break up the space, this can create a more open and expansive look to a kitchen.

Most people choose tile flooring because it’s easy to clean and requires less maintenance than other types of flooring. If you are after super easy maintenance, we recommend larger tiles as they have fewer grout lines making it far less niggly to keep them clean and maintained.

1. Use only cleaning products specifically intended for your type of tile.
2. Always sweep or vacuum your floor before mopping. Dirt and grit can cause abrasion and wear.
3. Use a damp mop on the floor and a damp cloth on wall tiles.

The best way to estimate the cost of tiling a kitchen floor is to calculate the total square metres of tiles needed and then multiply that number by the price per tile. Depending on the quality and size of the selected tile, you can expect to pay between $50 to $300+ per square metre for your tiles.
You will, of course, still have to factor in the installation cost. Our tile experts will be more than happy to outline the average tile installation costs – just come see us in-store!
