Tackling the tile challenge with Johnson Tiles SA

The tiles for the project had to meet high standards of quality, affordability, and durability. They also needed to align with the interior design concept and be readily available in bulk for immediate use across various units. Issues like sizing and batch variances posed significant challenges on-site.

To address these requirements, Tile Africa opted for the Screed Biscuit SE 204 400×400 Glazed Ceramic tile from Johnson Tiles. This choice was made for its modern and trendy screed look, combined with a subtle and warm light-grey colour that appealed to all residents.

A crucial part of the solution was maintaining continuous communication between the specifier, warehouse controller, and site manager. This ensured that stock orders were perfectly aligned with project needs, minimising sizing and batch variances.

Using ceramic tiles brought significant benefits. The requirement for ceramic adhesive made the installation more affordable compared to tiles needing expensive adhesives like porcelain. The smaller tile size of 400×400 was particularly advantageous in reducing wastage in compact areas such as bathrooms. Moreover, the glazed surface of these tiles facilitated quick and easy installation, adhering to tight construction schedules and offering low maintenance and easy cleaning for residents.

The combination of effective communication, strategic tile selection, and practical benefits ensured the project met its goals efficiently and to the satisfaction of all involved.
