Materials & surfaces

Bathroom tiles.

Quiet surfaces, large formats and carefully considered details for floors and walls. We help you compare expressions, formats and practical requirements before selecting a collection.

Tiles & ceramic surfaces

Surfaces built for water – and for time.

A curated introduction to ceramic surfaces for the bathroom.

We offer a wide range of ceramics, large-format tiles and natural stone. Tiles are laid only once the substrate and waterproofing are approved – and the layout is planned with care for symmetry, correct placement of grout lines, precise finishes, falls and the interplay between floor and wall surfaces.

Material expressions

Surfaces with character.

From quiet stone to bold marble: discover the visual possibilities for bathroom floors and walls.

Images are for inspiration. Availability, slip resistance, thickness, formats and suitability are confirmed for each selected product.

Floor and wall

The right tile in the right place.

Floors and walls make different demands. We choose format and finish for where the tile will be laid – and plan them as one whole.

Floor

The floor is built up with a fall towards the drain. The drain position is coordinated with the floor build-up, membrane system and tile format.

  • Fall to the drain and the right threshold height
  • Slip resistance confirmed for the chosen product
  • Option of electric underfloor heating

Wall

On the walls, large formats give calm surfaces with few joints. Niches, shelves and transitions are planned before the walls are closed.

  • Large formats and few visual breaks
  • Niches and built-in shelves
  • Symmetry and correctly placed grout lines

From inspiration to specification

How we lay tiles.

Tiling is what you see every day – and what reveals whether the work beneath was done properly.

  1. 1. Approved substrate and membrane

    Tiling starts only once the substrate and waterproofing have been checked and approved.

  2. 2. A planned layout

    The tiler measures and plans the layout, with care for symmetry and the correct placement of grout lines.

  3. 3. Falls and precise finishes

    Falls to the drain, clean corners and precise finishes against doors, niches and fittings.

  4. 4. The right products

    Tiles are laid with a suitable adhesive and grout system. Movement joints and transitions use elastic solutions.
