PRECISION, DETAIL & CARE
Installation
Before installation begins we advise on the soundness of your subfloor. Once there is a good base to work with we will screed if necessary and then lay any bluestone required before starting to lay the tiles. We use either the traditional wet bed method or modern adhesives. Once the layout is determined we then start to lay the three main components of the area, namely the outer filler tiles, the border and the main pattern.
The bluestone is an integral part of the finished product. We can lay block bluestone coping stones, or bullnose coping stones with risers. Coping stone thickness can vary from 20 – 75mm in either bluestone or slate. We offer several levels of finish for bluestone from sawn to honed, which gives a dark, more polished appearance.
BRINGING NEW LIFE TO OLD
Restoration
Existing verandahs can be lovingly restored to their former glory, or we can lay restored tiles on your new verandah. Old tiles that would usually go to land fill are taken up from verandahs and brought back to our factory in West Melbourne. Here we chip off remnant rubble, wash the tiles and then hone off remaining cement. Finally tiles are washed again, and sorted before being relaid.
If you need an area patched then we will try to match it with tiles made by the same manufacturer.
EXPERT ADVICE & KNOWLEDGE
Design consultation
Some people know exactly what they want, others know the pattern they want as soon as they see it, and others may take weeks or even months to decide. It really doesn’t matter which group you fall into, we are here to help.
Let us discuss your requirements and try out different combinations of patterns and colours. The age of your house, and the orientation are important factors to consider when choosing tiles. For verandahs it will be the first thing you will see when you come home for many years to come.
