If you’ve been looking for Silestone benchtops in Perth and stumbled across worrying information about the engineered stone ban, the short answer is this: Silestone is still available. The product has been reformulated. The quality hasn’t dropped. The confusion is understandable. Australia’s engineered stone ban was a major shift for the industry, and much of…
Tiling looks easy until you are doing it — and the tiling mistakes to avoid are not always the obvious ones. Some happen when you choose the wrong tile for the application. Others happen during substrate preparation before a single tile is laid. Many happen during installation itself. And some of the most frustrating ones…
Every Perth homeowner planning a bathroom renovation hits the same crossroads: do you keep the bath, pull it out for a bigger shower, or try to squeeze both in? The bath vs shower debate is one of the most common questions I get asked — not just in our Guildford showroom, but also from friends…

One of the first questions I hear from homeowners planning a renovation is how much does it cost to tile a bathroom?
