Project overview

A tiled benchtop has to be practical, not just pretty.

A cottage kitchen with a tiled benchtop and splashback around the sink, grouted with food-safe epoxy for an easy-clean surface.

Bullnose tiles on the front edge give a rounded edge that is comfortable to lean on and resists chipping.

How the work is done

A controlled sequence, not guesswork on the wall.

Every stage is checked before the next begins — the finish is only as good as the work underneath it.

  1. 01

    Assess the substrate

    Check flatness, junctions, fixtures and wet-area readiness before the layout is committed.

  2. 02

    Set out the complete room

    Balance tile courses and control visible cuts, corners and transitions.

  3. 03

    Fix and align

    Maintain adhesive transfer, consistent joints and alignment across adjoining surfaces.

  4. 04

    Finish and inspect

    Complete grout, movement joints, silicone and a final cleaning check.
