look to. This creative French pattern

masterpiece and subtle focal point
of any room. Simplistic and seemingly natural Muse is available in
two colours grigio and beige.

Haven is soft, serene, and
familiar, blending with home
where affections are centred.
Its five colours are designed to
connect to your lifestyle.
Its body is glazed porcelain with
rounded edges. Haven has
a size and finish to suit you;
indoor textured 300x300 (R10),
Matt and outdoor textured (R11)
450x450, and multipurpose

alternative for polished porcelain
or wall tile.

technology and has numerous
faces using a random format.
We now introduce two new types
of 600x600s:
600x600 Shine; like gloss but
BETTER. Shine has a high
resistance to scratch and wear
in comparison to other Gloss
GL-Porcelains. (Priced to suit

600x600 Textured R11 Slip
resistance perfect for outdoor
use and commercial applications.

Putting together a colour
scheme is similar to building
a house. You need to start
with a solid foundation. White
is the definitive colour to start
with in a bathroom. A white
colour can be crisp, pure, and
represent perfection. It can
also give the illusion of space.
It is an excellent base to work
in contrasting and features
colours.

rectified
We now add the 96x600 size
to complete this lower priced
and better quality family of white
rectified tiles. They are all in our
Builders Gold range.
Satin White:
Why choose Satin over Gloss
tiles? Gloss has been the go-to
tile finish for decades, here’s a
few reasons to try a Satin/Matt
tile instead:
10
1. Gloss can potentially look
cold and formal; a Satin tile you
can sense is slightly warmer to
look at than a Gloss.
3. Because a Satin tile still
lacks texture it still gives that
light feeling but with a warmer
edge than a gloss.
2. Gloss in general lightens a
room because of its reflective
qualities; it can appear focused
and sometimes sharp. Satin tile
still uses light to its advantage
by reflecting soft evenly diffused
light.
4. Satin and matt tiles will
be increasingly important in tile
trends over the next 2 years.

reintroducing
bullnose
Granite is a treasured building material, worldwide. Used for thousands
of years inside and out, in both domestic and commercial zones. Designers continually specify honed granite in living and bathroom areas
for the spectacular elegance and quality result it delivers.
We now introduce a bullnose to complete our BT Outdoor family, to
finish of the edges.
It comes in black flamed, yellow flamed, white flamed granite, and
sawn bluestone.

Produced in an ultra-modern
plant, these Australian Made
Terracotta tiles have been relaunched in a mix of tradition and
modern colours including Yulara
Red, Charcoal, Cool Grey and
Sea Salt.
These large format Terracotta
Tiles will open up the smallest
courtyard, whilst looking equally
at home in large open spaces.
The simple symmetry of this
300 x 300 tile will remain stylish
for generations to come. The
tiles also come with a matching
stair-nose.
Excellent Slip Resistance and salt
safe qualities make our Terracotta
Tiles the ideal choice for use
around salt and chlorinated pools
and high traffic areas.
Terracotta tiles will add an extra
dimension to turn any project into
a creative work of art you will be
proud of.

solid
colour
euphoria
100x300’s have become
our body tile of choice when
teaming with solid colour. You
can’t beat the long elongated
look when you have so many
colours to choose from!
This colour was manufactured
as a alternative to donkey grey,
it is lighter and will give a room
a brighter appeal.
Euphoria’s design far surpasses
expectations for a lower market
tile. This extremely elegant
series comprises of a gloss wall
with a gloss textured floor and
most recently a 20x20 as asked
for by you, making it ideal to
tile an entire bathroom or living
space to achieve the optimum
effect.
Soft, fluid-like design, Euphoria
will give you every reason
to be an upmarket product,
but it actually fits into the
Builder’s Silver Range – which
is fantastic, as this range has
massive potential to be a huge
success!
This beautiful, calming tile is
accompanied with a simple,
yet shadowy colour palette. A
beautiful deep charcoal, warm
grey, warm latte and a stunning
bright white!

precision dimensions
The clean lines draw an eye
down the surface of this
extraordinary design. A flutter
of glitter is the reward for those
who look closely into the body.
Precision can be used to
visually lengthen a room with
its lovely long lineal structure.
A full wall can be a formidable
feature, or a panel can intensify
sophistication.
Dimensions is the ever popular
metallic tile that adds boisterous
glints to any modern scheme.
We have had many requests
for this tile in a 300x300 and
here it is!
Precision is a rectified glazed
porcelain tile with a lineal
structure. It has a semi polished
finish on the top, and tiny
sparkles on the inner lines. It
comes in 298x600 size and has
a wear rating of 4.
Now we introduce precision in a
300x300 size.
