Our Tile Selection

We went to Di Lorenzo for our tile selection appointment on a Saturday and found the store busier then a supermarket! The staff were very friendly but run off their feet and the whole process would have been much less stressful on a weekday.

Also it's worth noting that many of the loose tiles had no prices on them so we were constantly running up to the front desk for a price check.

Our builders allowance covered tiles in the 'yellow' range. We liked some of the wall tiles but were pretty unimpressed with the 20 by 20cm floor tiles.Though we could go up to 25cm there wasn't a single tile of that size in the store!

We decided to upgrade our Laundry, Bathroom and WC to 300 by 300 sized floor tiles. Our powder room tiles were selected from the Upgrade Pillar and our Ensuite & External Areas were upgraded to 300 by 600 Matt Porcelain Tiles.

Extra costs to be aware of:
$24.50 m2 Underlay - Charged for 30 by 30cm or larger floor tiles
$18.50 m2 Labour to lay 30 by 60cm wall tiles
$24.50 m2 Labour to lay sheeted border up to 30cm wide (Even in Yellow range)

All up we spent around $2400 on tile upgrades and this was without tiling any extra areas.
