A great way to infuse natural aesthetics into any modern interior, Kauri faithfully reproduces the effect of real hardwood. Created using the very latest in inkjet technology, these tiles feature realistic knots and grain and are almost indistinguishable from genuine timber. The matt texture of the tiles also increases slip resistance making Kauri an ideal choice for use in bathroom and kitchen areas. Due to the long length we would recommend to install in a 1/4 bond layout.

Can these floor tiles be used on walls? Is the picture a mixture of colours put together or if you pick a colour do you get the colour mixture in the same box?
Our advice: These tiles can be used on the wall, subject to the substrate being strong enough to take the weight, we would recommend discussing this with your tiler. The boxes contain randomly packed tiles within the range to create an authentic wood effect floor, please view the individual tile face images on our website.

Hi. If we used this on a bathroom floor, what wall tile (colour/design) would you recommend?
Our advice: Any of our plain coloured tiles would be more than suitable to create a contrast between the wall and the floor. We would recommend our Doblo Matt Light Grey 298x598mm (SKU: 435430).

The grey wall tiles in the picture , any idea what they are??
Our advice: This is an image supplied by the manufacturer, so we are unable to say exactly which tile this is; however, we would recommend having a look at the Doblo Grey Polished Wall and Floor Tile (sku 434685).
