Guides, design ideas and practical advice for choosing architectural tiles in Iceland. Editorial drafts will be reviewed for technical accuracy and localized into Icelandic before launch.
Porcelain typically has lower water absorption than ordinary ceramic wall tiles. Selection should be based on intended use, verified specifications, slip resistance and installation requirements.
Explore supplier background ↗Measure length × width, then add an allowance for cuts and breakage. Straightforward layouts may need less allowance than diagonal or intricate patterns. The price studio rounds to whole boxes.
Try the live calculator ↗Warm limestone, cool concrete, pale porcelain and textured stone. Compare colours in our interactive concept room before requesting physical samples.
Explore the studio ↗Outdoor and wet-area suitability must be documented by the individual manufacturer's test reports. Frost resistance, surface grip and substrate design are important; a visual appearance alone is not enough.
Ask about specifications ↗We never display a mark, logo or certificate we do not hold. This is the documentation we are collecting before sales begin.
