What if the tile I love is out of stock?
Design Tiles can usually source close matches or advise on lead times. We’ll work with your project schedule to offer realistic options without compromising the look.
Can Design Tiles supply tiles for outdoor areas?
Yes. Design Tiles’ outdoor-rated tiles are designed for patios, alfresco zones, and pools with slip resistance and durability built in. We install them to specification, factoring in drainage and long-term performance.
Can I use the same tile in different sizes or finishes?
Definitely. Many collections come in multiple formats, ideal for using matt on floors, gloss on walls, or mixing tile sizes for subtle variation. We’ll help map this out across your home.

Are Design Tiles products compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes. Design Tiles products meet key Australian Standards, including:
- AS 4586: Slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials
- AS 1530.1 & AS 1530.3: Fire resistance and combustibility testing
- AS 4459.2 & AS 4459.3: Water absorption and breaking strength of ceramic tiles

Their team also provides technical data sheets and slip ratings during selection. At Nouvelle, we ensure all materials meet Building Code of Australia (BCA) requirements for your space, whether it’s a wet area, outdoor surface, or high-traffic zone.
Do certain tiles need special maintenance?
Some do. Porcelain is low-maintenance, while natural stone or handmade-look tiles may need sealing or gentler cleaning. We provide care instructions during your project handover.
Can I match my tiles to my benchtops or cabinetry?
Yes. With so many styles available, we can help you match or complement your tile choice with your stone benchtops, joinery, and fixtures to create a cohesive, intentional look.
