Whether you are looking for mosaic effect tiles, a beautiful embossed pattern or a bespoke shape and size, there are a growing number of places to get the perfect tile for your project.
Ordering tiles online has become an increasingly popular trend due to the sheer range of colours, materials and styles available, but without the ability to see and feel a tile before you buy to assess its suitability for a certain project, it requires a little more research upfront to get the ideal tile you want.
As well as this, with tiles being so heavy, there may be extra delivery and return costs, so the cost of the wrong tile can be expensive.
With that in mind, here are some top tips for making the most of online tile shopping.
Whilst visiting a tile showroom, you can look at samples of tiles and get a proper feel for how they look, as well as their texture and feel when they are in a bathroom or kitchen setting, but when ordering online you can often miss that tactility.
The solution is to always order sample tiles before you buy anything. Most reputable online retailers will typically allow you to order cut samples for free, with full-sized samples also either being free or at a very low cost.
This allows you to check how it feels and how it looks in various types of light, which is especially important in kitchens and bathrooms, as they often use more intense, higher colour temperature lights so that fine details are visible and you can keep your cooking and cleaning areas clean.
Tile delivery costs can be expensive, so when you order, try to order too much rather than not enough, as this factors in tiles you may need to cut around and therefore potential waste.
Ordering too little means having to make another order and paying costly delivery prices again.
Certain tile materials require different levels of maintenance than others, such as requiring sealing. So check before you buy what you need to do with your tiles before you order them, and make sure you have the equipment you need to install them the way you want.
