· 03 / Process Five stages, no shortcuts

How we
work.

i

Consultation

An on-site visit with you, your architect or your designer. We talk material, detail and constraint before anything else.

ii

Quote

A detailed written quote with itemised scope, materials and program. No surprises after signing.

iii

Preparation

Substrates inspected, screeded and waterproofed. The work nobody sees is where the work succeeds or fails.

iv

Installation

On-site daily. Set out drawn before the first tile is cut. Levels, joins and grout lines confirmed in person.

v

Handover

Final clean, sealing, and a walk-through with care notes. We stay reachable long after the invoice clears.

Armadale
Residence.

· Featured Project
Armadale residence exterior with random-stone cladding to facade and portico
Location Armadale, VIC
Scope Exterior Cladding
Material Random Natural Stone
Application Facade & Portico

Random-stone cladding to the home's exterior. Each piece hand-selected, hand-set, mortared on site. The natural variation of colour, scale and form across the wall is the design.

Set against weatherboard and steel. The first surface a visitor reads, and the last one ever replaced.

Random-set stone is among the oldest masonry traditions. Every wall is one of one. Every join carries the hand of the tradesperson who set it.
· 04 / Why X Tiling Six things we never compromise

Principles.

i

Precision

Set out drawn, levels confirmed, grout lines plotted before a single tile is cut.

ii

Waterproofed properly

Two-coat membrane to AS 3740, every time. The detail you never need to think about again.

iii

Architectural detail

Mitred edges, shadow lines, integrated niches. The details that separate a finish from a fit-out.

iv

Reliable communication

A single point of contact. Calls returned same day. Programs honoured. Nothing left in the air.

v

Premium materials

We work with the suppliers and materials our clients select. We do not substitute, we do not cut corners.

vi

Exceptional finish

The work is the portfolio. Every project signed off in person, never sub-let.

· 05 / In Their Words From architects and clients

Testimony.

The finish is the kind we used to fly to Europe to see. We have stopped flying.
M. Connell Principal Architect, Studio Connell
Set out drawn before installation. Mitred edges as drawn. The kind of trades partnership designers wait years to find.
J. Liang Director, Liang & Co Interiors
We have used a lot of tilers. This was the first time the work came back better than the drawing.
R. Bianchi Builder, Bianchi Construction
Quiet, considered, and on program. They left the site cleaner than they found it. Every day.
S. Hartwell Private Client, Toorak
