What to confirm before choosing

Slip class is recorded for 22 of 46 tiles, material for all 46 and thickness for 29. Box coverage for none. What each product page states, and what it leaves blank.
In this guide

Every tile on this site carries a set of recorded facts: a product type, a style, face dimensions, a finish, and on many tiles a slip class, a material or a thickness. It also carries blanks, and the blanks are marked rather than filled. This page walks through both, because the gap between what is on file and what a job needs is where a tile order goes wrong. The counts below were read on 28 August 2026.

Twenty-two of the sixty record a slip class

The product records use the AS 4586 scale where a class is listed. Twenty-two tiles here record a class. The values shown are what the supplier's current documentation records; we do not hold the underlying test reports.

All twenty-two sit in 600 × 600 mm tiles, which holds thirty-four in total, so a place in that collection is no longer a sign that a class is recorded.

The other thirty-eight record nothing. Fourteen are marble-look tiles, twelve are mosaic sheets and twelve are wall shapes — eleven subway tiles and one ceramic wall tile. A blank is not a low class. It is an absent record, and this page does not treat it as a test outcome.

On a product page the class appears inside the collapsed Specifications panel, in the Slip rating row. Where there is no class the panel carries a Slip-rating reference row reading Not specified instead. The page adds its own limit next to the row: a slip rating is a reference figure, and it asks you to confirm it for the intended application.

Where the intended application is a wet area, the documents that settle it sit outside the product page altogether. Which documents to ask your waterproofer for names them and says who holds each one.

Forty-six of the sixty record a material

Twenty-five tiles are recorded as porcelain, sixteen as ceramic and five as marble; on the fourteen marble-look tiles the row reads Not specified. These are the values in the supplier's current documentation.

When the Material row was blank, this site left it blank rather than treating an unknown as zero or inferring composition from a product name, image or “-look” label. The supplier's current documentation put a recorded value in forty-six of the sixty rows, and the result confirms why that restraint mattered: the nine Carrara-named products split into five Marble, three Ceramic and one Porcelain. Four tiles carrying the Carrara name are not recorded as Marble. On the fourteen marble-look tiles the row is still blank.

Names ending in “-look” still describe a face, not a material. A travertine-look tile is a tile that reads as travertine. A description may say what a face imitates, or what is set into it, but the Material row is where composition is recorded. The supplier's current documentation, not the name or image, is the source of that value.

Which tiles here are actually stone works through that row on its own, including the tiles whose name and material row do not agree.

Forty of the sixty record a thickness

Twenty-nine tiles are recorded at 10 mm and eleven at 8 mm; the eleven are the Studio subway shapes. On the other twenty the Thickness row reads Not specified — the twelve mosaic sheets, two of the three Atlas stone-looks, three of the concrete-looks and three marble-looks.

A recorded thickness here is a bonded thickness: the tile goes onto a prepared substrate. No product page states a load or structural classification, or any figure for an unbonded laying method, so a thickness on file describes the tile and nothing about what it can be laid over or under.

Box coverage is the one number the range does not state

Tiles here are priced and sold by the box, so the area one box covers is the number that turns a measured space into an order quantity. The Box coverage / quantity row reads Not specified on all sixty.

The quantity tool on each product page still returns a box count. It fills the gap with a fixed planning default of 1.44 m² per box — the same figure on every tile in the range — and the note under it says so and asks you to confirm the actual pack coverage before ordering. Treat what it returns as a budget estimate, not an order. How to measure a tiling project works through what that default does to a box count, and where rounding an allowance twice quietly adds boxes.

Every tile has an A$3.00 sample

A sample piece is A$3.00 and exists for all sixty. A tray holds up to five, so a five-piece tray is A$15.00. Sample orders are delivered free anywhere in Australia with no minimum order value. Tile orders are priced from your order value and destination state — from A$79 in the eastern states and A$169 in WA, NT and TAS — with free delivery on eastern-state tile orders of A$1,200 and over. The exact amount is shown at checkout.

Two things about samples are recorded as not confirmed rather than estimated: how long one takes to arrive, and whether its cost is credited against a later order. The sample page sets out both that way.

Screen colour is not a specification. A soft polished face reads darker and glassier on a wall than in the hand; on a matt face the room keeps less of its own daylight, and marks generally read less plainly than they do on a glazed one. None of that survives a photograph.

Batch variation is normal and is not a fault

Tiles are made in production batches, and colour and surface move between them. Order the full quantity for the job, including the cutting allowance, in one order. A later order is not guaranteed to match an earlier batch, and every product page asks you to confirm the supplied batch before installation.

Batch movement is normal and is not a fault. Your rights when tiles arrive wrong sets out what does count as one.

The short list

Before you order, open the Specifications panel on the product page and check:

  1. the Slip rating row, if the surface will be walked on;
  2. the Material row, if composition matters to the specification;
  3. the Thickness row, if the laying method depends on it;
  4. the face dimensions and the finishes actually listed for that tile;
  5. anything reading Not specified, which means the supplier documentation does not state it.

One commercial fact is recorded rather than blank: all sixty currently show as in stock on their product pages. Dispatch timing and unloading scope are set out on the delivery page, not on the product page.

A recorded class or dimension is a test result or a measurement. Neither is approval for a particular application. Falls, drainage, substrate, grout width, exposure and how hard the area gets used all sit outside those numbers. Use a qualified tiler, and confirm the specification your project needs with the responsible installer or specifier before the order goes in.

Next step — turn the measured area into a quantity. Read the measuring guide.
