Frequently Asked Questions

What are kit kat tiles?
Kit kat tiles are thin, finger-shaped tiles, usually around 23mm to 25mm wide and 145mm to 150mm long, laid in close rows that read like a stacked or brick pattern. They come glued to mesh-backed mosaic sheets, which speeds up installation across walls and curved surfaces.
Where are kit kat tiles used?
Kit kat tiles suit kitchen splashbacks, bathroom walls, shower recesses and feature walls. The narrow finger format wraps niches and curves more easily than large-format tiles, so they work well in wet areas. Mesh-backed sheets also make them practical behind a cooktop or vanity.
What colours do kit kat tiles come in?
Kit kat tiles come in white, grey, beige, black, blue, green including sage, pink and terracotta. White and green are the most searched finishes in Australia. Glazed ceramic options give a glossy or matte look, while travertine and marble versions offer natural stone tones.
What size are kit kat tiles?
Most kit kat tiles measure roughly 23mm to 25mm wide by 145mm to 150mm long per finger, with several fingers set on a mesh sheet around 300mm square. Larger finger formats exist for a bolder pattern. Check each product's sheet dimensions, as exact sizing varies by range.
Can kit kat tiles be used in a shower?
Yes, kit kat tiles can be used in showers and other wet areas when installed over a waterproof substrate with a suitable adhesive and grout. The mesh-backed sheets follow curved shower walls and niches. Ceramic and porcelain finishes resist moisture; seal natural stone versions such as travertine before grouting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best tile finish for a bathroom, matte or gloss?

Matte tiles are trending strongly in Australian bathrooms for their contemporary look and practical ability to hide water spots and fingerprints. Gloss tiles reflect light and can make a bathroom feel brighter and larger, but show water marks and smudges more readily. For shower recesses and wet floors, matte or satin finishes with good slip resistance are generally preferred.

How many tiles do I need to order for my bathroom?

Measure your total wall and floor surface area in square metres, then add a 10–15% wastage allowance for cuts, breakages, and future repairs. For complex layouts with diagonal patterns or feature inserts, increase the wastage to 15–20%. Always order all tiles from the same batch (check the shade lot/batch number) as tiles from different batches can vary slightly in colour.

How do I choose between floor tiles and wall tiles?

Floor tiles must have an adequate slip resistance rating (P3 minimum for domestic bathrooms) and be durable enough for foot traffic. Wall tiles can be glazed ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, they don't need to carry load but should be moisture-resistant. Many Australian renovators choose matching or coordinating floor and wall tiles from the same range for a cohesive look.

What tile size is best for a small bathroom in Australia?

For small bathrooms, tiles between 300 x 300mm and 600 x 300mm often work well on both walls and floors. Smaller mosaic or subway tiles (75 x 150mm or 100 x 200mm) are a classic choice for shower walls. While large format tiles can also work in small spaces, they require a very level substrate and expert installation. Avoid tiles that are too small on floors (like 50 x 50mm mosaics) in large quantities, as the increased grout lines can make a space feel busier.

How do I incorporate feature tiles without over-designing the bathroom?

The most effective approach is to choose one feature zone and use your feature tile there, a full-height shower wall, the bath surround wall, or the vanity splashback area. Keep the remaining surfaces in a neutral or complementary field tile. This creates impact without visual clutter. Limit your palette to two or three complementary materials for a cohesive result.

What is the slip resistance rating I need for bathroom floor tiles?

Australian Standards (AS 4586) require bathroom floor tiles to have a minimum slip resistance rating of P3 for domestic bathrooms and P4 or P5 for wet areas like shower recesses. The Blue Space recommends checking the slip resistance rating of any tile you're considering for floor use, particularly in the shower. Matte and textured porcelain tiles generally offer better slip resistance than polished or gloss finishes.

What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles?

Porcelain tiles are fired at higher temperatures and are denser, less porous, and harder than ceramic tiles. This makes porcelain more water-resistant, more durable, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including high-traffic floors. Ceramic tiles are lighter and easier to cut, making them a practical choice for bathroom walls and splashbacks. For bathroom floors and wet areas, porcelain is generally the preferred option in Australia.
