In our range, you’ll find options for bathrooms, kitchens, living spaces and outdoor areas, all available in multiple colours and formats. You can pick from many shapes, tones and finishes, all protected by our Price Beat Guarantee.

What makes Stone Look Tiles a popular choice?
Stone Look Tiles offer the same visual warmth and texture as natural stone, but they’re easier to maintain and don’t require sealing. The patterns are created during manufacturing, giving you a consistent look with controlled variation. Many homeowners choose Stone Look Tiles because they suit both modern and classic interiors, and they work well across large areas where the depth of stone adds character without the weight or care requirements of the real material.
Best uses and applications for Stone Look Tiles
Bathrooms
Stone Look Tiles are widely used in bathrooms where you want a soft, natural feel. Travertine-look tiles create a warm, calming base, while marble-look surfaces add a more refined touch. Matte and textured finishes are often chosen for wet zones, and large formats help minimise grout lines.
Kitchens
In kitchens, Stone Look Tiles suit splashbacks and floors where durability is key. Light limestone looks pair well with timber cabinets, while darker stone looks can bring contrast to white or grey kitchens. Their ability to handle frequent cleaning makes them a reliable choice for busy households.
Living areas
Large Stone Look Tiles work well in open-plan living areas, giving the room a grounded, cohesive look. Natural variation helps add movement across big spaces without feeling overly patterned. These tiles pair well with timber, neutral furniture and soft textiles.
Outdoor areas
Some Stone Look Tiles are suitable outdoors when the finish and slip rating match the conditions. These tiles can be used on patios, pathways and poolside areas, helping create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
Feature sections
Stone Look Tiles can be used behind fireplaces, in entryways or on feature walls where you want texture and visual interest. Subtle veining or layered stone looks work particularly well in these smaller areas.

Tile finishes
Stone Look Tiles come in matte, textured, honed and satin finishes. Matte and textured surfaces are most common for floors, while honed or satin finishes suit walls and feature areas.

Colour palette
The palette includes soft creams, warm beiges, greys, whites, charcoals and earthy tones depending on the stone being replicated. Checking several pieces helps you understand how the variation will appear across a room.
