Frequently Asked Questions
How much concrete-look tile do I need per square metre?
The 600x600mm concrete tiles in this collection (Atlantic Sand, Atlantic Sand Charcoal, Pure White, Pure Ivory) ship at 1.44 square metres per box, which works out to four tiles per box. To calculate your order, measure each area in metres, multiply width by length, subtract any non-tiled openings, then add 8 to 12 percent wastage for cuts and breakages. Diagonal layouts and patterned bonds can need closer to 15 percent. Order all boxes from a single delivery so the shade and pattern variation stays consistent across the floor or wall.
Are concrete-look porcelain tiles suitable for wet areas and outdoors?
Most of the concrete-look range is full-body porcelain rated for interior wall and floor installation in residential and light commercial spaces, including bathrooms and kitchens. For shower floors specifically, check the slip rating on the product page (R10 or higher for wet zones; R11+ for shower trays). The matt finishes generally carry the better slip ratings. For outdoor use including patios and pool surrounds, specify a 20mm thick external-grade version rather than the standard 10mm tile, which is engineered for the additional thermal stress.
How do concrete tiles compare to real polished concrete or cement?
Concrete-look porcelain gives you the industrial aesthetic without any of the practical drawbacks of cast or polished concrete: no sealing required, no risk of hairline cracks moving across the floor, no staining from spills, and a flat factory tolerance that makes for easier installation. Real concrete needs periodic resealing, can stain, and develops crazing over time. Porcelain replicates the colour washes and tonal variation of concrete convincingly while staying maintenance-free, which is why it has become the default specification on contemporary South African projects.
What grout colour suits concrete tiles?
For concrete-look porcelain, a grout in a similar tone to the tile body usually reads best: a soft grey grout on Atlantic Sand Charcoal, a warm off-white on Pure Ivory, a clean white on Pure White. Tonal grout minimises the grid pattern and lets the tile surface dominate the eye, which is the look most concrete tiles are designed to achieve. A high-contrast grout (dark grey on white tile, for example) gives a more graphic effect that suits some commercial fit-outs but rarely flatters residential bathrooms.
Can I see large-format concrete tiles before ordering?
Yes. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles displays the Atlantic Sand, Pure White, and Pure Ivory concrete tiles as large laid-up panels at our Kramerville showroom, alongside complementary grout samples and a range of cabinetry finishes. Photographs of concrete-look tiles online can flatten the tonal variation, so seeing the panels under real lighting matters. Drop in for a personalised consultation and the team will help you scale the right format to your room and pair it with the right grout tone.
