    Kitchen Tiles

    We offer a wide range of kitchen tiles to suit every style, from small and large formats to mosaics and boutique handmade designs. Our collection also includes tiles that beautifully replicate natural materials such as concrete, genuine limestone, and travertine.

    Tiles FAQs


    What is a rectified edge?

    faq open

    Rectified edge tiles are expertly cut to achieve perfectly straight, sharp edges. This allows these tiles to be laid with minimal grout lines, creating a seamless look. These tiles are ideal for installations where precise alignment is important, making them easier to install with consistent spacing.


    What is the difference between a natural edge and an organic edge?

    faq open

    Tiles with a natural edge preserve the irregular, rough contours of the original material—like stone or wood—offering a truly authentic appearance. An organic edge is more freeform and curved, producing a softer aesthetic. 


    Which tiles can I install with under-floor heating?

    faq open

    Porcelain tiles are suitable for application with under-floor heating and have excellent heat conductivity and durability. Natural stone tiles are also suitable for application with under-floor heating as they have great heat retention; however, they will take longer to warm than a porcelain tile.


    What is a slip rating?

    faq open

    Safety is paramount in every environment, and slip resistance ratings help determine a tile’s suitability for its intended use. Tile slip ratings are a collection of tests used to assess the slip resistance of a tile’s surface. The most common slip resistance tests include:

     

    Pendulum Test: This test measures the friction a floor surface provides when a foot makes contact, assessing slip resistance. Pendulum classifications range from P0 to P5. The higher the number, the lower the risk of slipping.

    Pendulum ClassificationSlip RiskSlip Resistance
    P0Very High RiskVery Low Slip Resistance
    P1Very High RiskVery Low Slip Resistance
    P2High RiskLow Slip Resistance 
    P3Moderate RiskModerate Slip Resistance
    P4Low RiskHigh Slip Resistance
    P5Very Low RiskHigh Slip Resistance

     

     

    Oil-Wet Ramp Test: This test evaluates slip resistance on a lubricated, inclined surface to determine safety under slippery conditions. Resistance values range from R9 to R13. The higher the number, the lower the risk of slipping.

    Slip Resistance ValueSlip Risk
    R9Very High
    R10Very High
    R11High
    R12Moderate
    R13Low 

    How do I determine whether my tiles can be used internally or externally?

    faq open

    Check the ABI Interiors product page to determine whether tiles can be used internally or externally, as this will differ based on the tile's construction.


    How do I determine if my tiles can be used on the floor or wall?

    faq open

    You can check the ‘Specifications’ tab on the related ABI Interiors product page to determine whether your tiles can be used for the floor or wall.


    Are tiles waterproof?

    faq open

    Although tiles are typically water-resistant, their level of waterproofing depends on the tile type and the sealing method used. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are usually highly water-resistant and suitable for wet areas, while natural stone tiles usually require a waterproof sealant to prevent water absorption. 


    Will tiles stick to painted walls?

    faq open

    Tiles can be installed on painted walls, provided the paint is non-glossy, clean, and suitably prepared. Using a suitable primer and adhesive designed for painted surfaces is essential for a strong bond. Please speak to a professional tradesperson to ensure the correct installation of your tiles.


    Why do tiles suddenly pop up?

    faq open

    Tiles may start to lift for several reasons, including insufficient adhesive application, moisture damage, or temperature and humidity changes causing expansion and contraction. Other common causes include poor surface preparation or using the wrong adhesive. To ensure a lasting installation, always hire a professional tradesperson for your tiling project.


    What is a honed tile?

    faq open

    A honed tile has a surface that has been ground down slightly to achieve a consistent, smooth texture and a finish that ranges from matte to satin. It is less reflective than a polished finish and offers improved scratch resistance.


    What is a tumbled tile or edge?

    faq open

    A tile that is tumbled has been put through a mechanical finishing process that gently abrades and knocks its edges and corners inside a rotating drum. The result is a tile whose edge and/or surface are intentionally weathered and irregular rather than crisp and sharp.


    What is a bevelled tile?

    faq open

    Bevelled-edge tiles have their edges cut on a slight angle, so when they’re laid side-by-side a neat “V” groove appears between each tile. This angled edge adds depth \and gives walls—especially splashbacks and feature areas—a refined, classic look.


    How do I determine which tiles are best for my project?

    faq open

    Selecting your tiles is often determined by the size of your space, personal preference, and taste. However, here are a few tips:

     

    Large-format tiles have a minimal appearance, fewer grout lines, low maintenance, and easy installation, making them a popular choice in larger spaces. They are typically available in sizes 300x600mm, 600x600mm, and 1200x600mm.

    Smaller format tiles can achieve a visually creative look and are ideal for covering small areas such as splashbacks, curved surfaces, and bathroom areas. These are typically tiles in sizes 480mm up to a larger 250x60mm and are available in various shapes.

    Our friendly team is available to provide tips to help you make the perfect tile choice for your project. Consider booking a complimentary consultation with ABI Interiors instore or online, to turn your vision into reality.
