Dark gloss tile shows every bit of lippage and every grout haze. Joints were kept to 1.5 mm and every surface was cleaned twice before the grout cured.
Project overview
Dark tile shows every mistake. There weren’t any.
An architect-specified ensuite in deep green gloss and matt charcoal tile. Dark grout and tight joints keep the surface calm and continuous.

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.
- 01
Assess the substrate
Check flatness, junctions, fixtures and wet-area readiness before the layout is committed.
- 02
Set out the complete room
Balance tile courses and control visible cuts, corners and transitions.
- 03
Fix and align
Maintain adhesive transfer, consistent joints and alignment across adjoining surfaces.
- 04
Finish and inspect
Complete grout, movement joints, silicone and a final cleaning check.
