General Tile Knowledge

Tiling can be a tough gig — long hours, heavy work, and often a one-person job. That’s why Tile Depot created TilersTradePro, a dedicated trade division designed to keep tilers ahead of the game. From expert advice and complete tiling systems, to trade-only deals, training, and community events, TilersTradePro is all about giving you the backup you need to get the job done right. With 30 years of Tile Depot experience and a nationwide trade team bringing over 200 years of combined know-how, you’re never working alone.

In September 2017 Tile Depot gained Consumer Trusted Accreditation - an honour we were thrilled to achieve. Eight years on we remain the first and only tile retailer in New Zealand to gain and maintain this prestigious status: a mark of trust that sets us apart within the tile industry.

In 1995, Tile Depot opened its doors in a modest store in Panmure with just 23 tiles in stock. What began as a small family-run business with a big vision has grown into one of New Zealand’s most recognised and trusted tile, bathware and flooring suppliers.

When renovating it’s really important that homeowners are aware of any consents that are required. Consents are there to ensure building works are done to standard and in accordance with the Building Code. These requirements are there as a means of avoiding substandard work, ensuring the works are safe and minimising risk of future costly problems.

When considering tiles for your home, it’s not just the cost of the tiles that needs to be factored into the budget, but also the cost of installation. 

Imagine having floors and walls that not only look beautiful but that offer an extraordinary level of protection from harmful bacteria. Well imagine no longer as the Tile Depot has a collection of porcelain tiles from Italian manufacturer Panaria, that has high performing antimicrobial properties as well as sensational style.
