Chequerboard 80 x 80cm Floor Tiles

Measure the area you're tiling in square metres (length x width), then add around 10% for cuts and wastage — a little more for diagonal layouts or rooms with lots of cuts. Tiles are usually sold by the square metre or by the box, so divide your total area by the coverage per box and round up to whole boxes. Our team is always happy to check your measurements and quantities before you order.

As a general guide, larger formats such as 60 x 60cm and above make a space feel more open and seamless with fewer grout lines, and suit medium-to-large floors, while smaller formats and mosaics give more grip and flexibility in compact areas, splashbacks and shower floors. There's no hard rule, though — it's about the look you want, and we're happy to advise for your specific space.

Many can, but it depends on the individual tile rather than the size alone — a tile's suitability for floors, walls or wet areas is set by its material, finish and slip rating. Each product page confirms where a tile can be used; if you'd like to run one tile across both walls and floor, just ask and we'll point you to the right options.

Large-format tiles create a calm, contemporary look with fewer grout joints, which makes a room feel bigger and is easier to keep clean. They work beautifully on floors and feature walls. They do need a flat, well-prepared substrate and are heavier to handle, so for the largest formats we'd recommend an experienced tiler using a back-buttering technique for full adhesion.

It's a sensible idea. Ordering a little extra from the same batch means you'll have matching tiles on hand for any future repairs or alterations, since colours and finishes can vary slightly between production runs. We'd suggest keeping a few spare tiles from your delivery, and our team can advise on the right amount for your project.

Yes — colour, finish and scale are best judged in your own room and light. We offer free cut samples to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted for a small postage charge, and you're very welcome to visit the showroom to see full tiles in person and talk your project through with our team.
