Johnson Tiles Blogs
Where can I put tiles?
Our tiles are not only of the highest quality; they're also exceptionally versatile. We stock a large range of tiles for all purposes, for walls and floors, for kitchens and bathrooms, and for decoration and function. Browsing our online gallery, we're sure you'll find a perfect use for tiles in your home – there are many great ideas elsewhere on our website. Our consultants will also be more than happy to chat with you, even online, and develop a solution that is tailored to your tiling needs.
Wall tiles are a great way to spice up a room, providing colour and textures that can really add life to your surroundings. They're not just for wet areas, like laundries and bathrooms, but also work wherever an eye-catching feature is desired. Tiles also work both indoors and out, adding visual appeal to your property. Wall tiles are, of course, typically used to protect areas of plaster around sinks, and ours fulfil this function perfectly. However, they don't just work well - they also look great!
Johnson Tiles can also produce flooring solutions that will suit the overall décor and function of your home. Our extensive range of floor tiles is hardwearing, aesthetically pleasing and backed by a ten-year guarantee. We can customise our floor tiles to your tastes and needs, taking into consideration floor traffic and the natural ambience of your room. As with floor tiles, they work exceedingly well in any room.
To find the tiling solution that is perfect for you, we recommend you start a conversation with any of our consultants. We are always willing to oblige with advice and recommendations. You are also welcome to visit any one of our factory outlets or showrooms, and take a look at our tiles for yourself. Tiles are a wonderful addition to any home's décor, and their use isn't just limited to the typical wet spots. Contact us today!
Do you only sell tiles?
Besides floor and wall tiles, Johnson Tiles can also provide you with all the extras you need for your next renovating project. We also deal in timber flooring, tile adhesives, heating supplies and even tiles for mosaics. Laminate or timber flooring is an excellent way to add an affordable extra dimension to your home, sophisticated but easy to install. Our range of adhesives are the best to use if you plan on installing any of our tiles, and our underfloor heating products are perhaps the best way to add to your household comfort.
Our expertise in flooring extends beyond tiles – our timber and laminate floors are second to none. We will provide you with a customised solution tailored to your home. Our Timber Top system of flooring is comprised of an extensive range of hardwood timber floors, which will no doubt enhance the atmosphere of any room. Timber floors are very durable, and will withstand the rigour of household traffic for years to come.
Tiles are nothing without good adhesives, and Johnson Tiles has some of the best. We deal not only in grout, but also in sealers, bonders and levellers for both wet and dry surfaces. Johnson produces these adhesives to offer you the most stable and hardwearing tiling solutions we possibly can. Browse our range elsewhere on our website, and download a PDF with all the technical specifications.
Heating is a great concern for most households, with the ever-changing 'four seasons in one day' of Australia's unpredictable climate. Fortunately, Johnson provides heating solutions over at our sister website, Johnson Heating. You can find the link on the side menu bar. Whether in combination with tiled or wooden floors, a heating and cooling system is an excellent way to improve your domestic comfort.
So, our range of services and products extends far beyond the world of tiles – look around, ask questions, and we will find you a solution to suit all your needs!
What about decorative tiles?
Whilst many go for tiles for function alone, tiles can be aesthetically pleasing features on any wall and floor. The art of mosaic is, of course, one of the most creative and often inspiring uses for tiles. Johnson Tiles can let your imagination run free with our decorative range, which caters especially for décor and mosaic.
Tiles, with their variety of smooth and rough textures, soft and striking colours and versatile shapes, are appealing decoration. They can be easily installed on walls and floors, internally or externally, to produce a simple yet very effective decorative feature. Functional tiles are often quite appealing in their own right, but sometimes an extra something is needed to give a room or surface that certain charm. Johnson Tiles has the products to give your next tiling project the perfect decorative touch.
Our range covers glass tiles, stone-like tiles and even mirrored tiles to provide you with instant ideas for decoration. Whatever your tastes dictate, you can be sure to find something in our range to inspire you. Add a little excitement to your splashback, or inject a bit of enthusiasm into your tiled floor. Even a frieze can add intrigue to the dullest of rooms. The possibilities are virtually endless!
Tiles are not just great functional materials, they can also express your particular tastes and enhance your home with that personal, aesthetic touch. Drop into a showroom, factory outlet, or chat to us online or on the phone today!

Ceramic Tiles
Johnson Tiles offers the best in ceramic tiles in Melbourne. Ceramic tiles are a great choice for most applications as they are durable, attractive and exceptionally versatile. They are also fairly inexpensive, making them especially suitable for budget projects and renovations. Our extensive range of ceramic tiles can be found at our showroom in Bayswater. Feel free to drop in and browse around, or ask any of our trained staff members for assistance when choosing the perfect tile for your application.
Nothing complements a room quite like the elegant simplicity of a ceramic floor or wall tile. Ceramic tiles in plain colours, or just plain white or cream, can add a kind of serene atmosphere to your room. They can also act as neutral coverings that do not intrude upon the décor you are trying to create. Ceramic tiles are easily cut to size to fit any unusual corner or space, and can easily be adapted to any surface with the appropriate adhesive.
Ceramic tiles also have fantastic water-resistant specifications, and are often the first choice when tiling bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. They are a very hardwearing tile, resistant to staining and being exceptionally easy to clean. Ceramic is an excellent material for bathroom floor tiles and kitchen floor tiles, as well as for splashbacks and recesses.
If you're looking out for a ceramic floor tile, check in with Johnson Tiles. We know our tiles, and we can find the right one to suit your needs. Our organisation is dedicated to customer service, and will endeavour to answer all queries you may have. Ceramic floor tiles are among the most versatile, durable and elegant; in other words, a great all-rounder! Check out our range by visiting a Johnson's Tiles showroom or giving us a call today today.
Meshed Pebble Tiles
One of the more recent trends in tiling is that of meshed pebbles. These are shaped pieces of 'rock' that are applied to a mesh, and then placed on surfaces that are usually tiled. The result is a very striking, unique look that appears almost natural. Johnson Tiles carries meshed pebble tiles for borders and decoration, stocking a range of looks that will suit your feature.
If you're looking for something beyond conventional tilling, then meshed pebble tiles may be the answer. Building an appealing fascia out of pebbles tiles is made simple thanks to our expert advice and consulting. We can find the right combination of natural stone pebbles for your particular purpose. The result is a decorative tile that not only supplies your room with a natural ambience, but is also an effective surface that is easier to maintain than it may seem at first.
A pebbles tile may add to the look of many parts of your home. For example, add it as a feature amidst floor tiles, creating a square 'ring' around a certain feature of the room. This will add emphasis to the centrepiece of any room. Or, use it to add texture to vertical surfaces such as between stairs of beneath alcoves. They can even improve your bathroom- why not tile your shower recess with meshed pebbles tiles?
The possibilities with these tiles are extensive. Pebble tiles can add much needed textural definition to your home, considerably increasing its aesthetic appeal. Or, if meshed pebbles aren't ultimately to your taste, why not browse through our range of ceramic tiles, glass tiles, stone tiles or decorative border tiles? We're sure to have something in our range to suit your requirements. Pay a visit to our Johnson Tiles Bayswater showroom, or give us a call today!
Washbasins
Despite our name, Johnson Tiles carries much more than the best range of floor and wall tiles. We also carry bathroom fittings such as washbasins. It's all part of our endeavour to supply you with complete solutions for your building or renovation project. Johnson Tiles is a one-stop shop for all your tiling needs – which includes all of the extras that go with it!
Suppose you're renovating or building a bathroom – what components do you need? There are those which are essential features of any bathroom; the shower, the bath, the cabin, the towel rack, and, perhaps most importantly, the washbasin. The washbasin is the central site of most of the lavations that take place in the bathroom, such as brushing teeth, shaving, face washing and washing hands. To serve all of these purposes faithfully, they must be durable. To serve the décor of your bathroom, they must be attractive and well integrated into the design of your bathroom. Johnson Tiles can supply washbasins that will work especially well with our extensive range of tiles, giving you a complete bathroom design solution.
There are several types of washbasin, all of which we carry. There's the stand-alone variety, which is mounted to the floor and/or the wall. These can be especially striking when used in conjunction with floor tiles. There's also the wall-mounted washbasin, which again works especially well with our range of glass wall tiles and ceramic wall tiles. Finally, there's the surface mounted washbasin, which is integrated into the top of a cabinet or other surface. Splashbacks are essential with all of these washbasins, so consult with one of our staff today to find out which tiles are best suited to this purpose.
Johnson Tiles carries the essential components that go with your tiles, as well as the tiles themselves. Call today for a quote and add to your bathroom or kitchen.
