Outdoor Tiles in Warana
Our showroom sits right here in Warana, so you can see and handle outdoor tiles Warana homeowners are already choosing before you order anything. Jerry and the Tilemakers has worked from this Premier Circuit address since 2009, run by Glenda and Dean Pelleri, who've been in the tile trade since 1998. Because the showroom and the installation crew are the same team, there's no handoff between picking a porcelain paver and watching it laid around your pool or courtyard streets away. Whether you need a pool surround, an alfresco upgrade or a townhouse courtyard, this is where outdoor tiles Warana projects start, with a real sample in your hand, not a photo on a screen.

Warana's mix of beachside houses and townhouse complexes means outdoor tiles Warana residents ask about have to handle two different briefs at once: a standalone home's pool deck, and a shared courtyard a body corporate has to sign off on. Much of the suburb sits within a kilometre of the surf, so salt-laden air is a constant factor in what holds up: plain glazed tile and untreated trim rarely last here.
We've supplied and laid outdoor tiles in Warana from this address for more than a decade, which means we've watched how the suburb's older beachside houses and newer townhouse builds each behave once a tile goes down. Getting the paver, trim and movement joint right the first time matters more this close to the coast, because a redo is a bigger job than it looks. See our full tile range before you commit.
Outdoor tiles Warana homeowners choose us for one practical reason: the showroom, the quoting and the installation sit with the same small team, based a few streets from most of the jobs we quote. That matters in a suburb where salt air shortens the life of the wrong material, and where townhouse courtyards need a written scope a committee can actually approve. Outdoor tiles Warana projects also tend to involve retrofitting around an existing pool fence, deck or driveway, which is exactly where holding the real paver next to your existing pavers, in your own light, avoids a costly mismatch.
Walk in during opening hours and handle the same porcelain, stone and timber-look ranges we quote on, instead of judging a tile from a photo.
QBCC licence 15083457 covers both the tiling and the waterproofing beneath it, so one licensed trade carries the whole job.
Glenda and Dean Pelleri run the business, and the installers who turn up are our own employees, not a subcontracted crew.
We default to fully vitrified porcelain (0.5% or lower water absorption) with stainless or aluminium trims, because glazed tile and mild-steel edging don't last a kilometre from the surf.
Glenda's tiling background predates the Warana showroom by more than a decade, and it shows in how jobs get scoped before they're quoted.
Preparation, waterproofing, supply and labour are itemised separately, so you can see exactly what you're paying for before work starts.

Warana sits on the Kawana strip of the Sunshine Coast, where beachside houses and newer townhouse complexes share the same few streets. Our own showroom, on Premier Circuit, sits in the light-industrial pocket just back from the coast that grew up alongside that housing. The suburb's name is believed to have been put forward by developer Alfred Grant in March 1960, and Nicklin Way, which still carries most of the traffic past our door, opened in June 1965.
About a quarter of Warana's occupied homes are townhouses or semi-detached, so outdoor tiles Warana jobs are as often a shared courtyard as a private pool deck. With mean annual rainfall close to 1,493mm and February typically the wettest month, the two issues we see most are tiling laid without enough fall to shed a storm, and salt air attacking any trim or grout not specified for it.
On a private block, a drainage mistake shows up as a damp patch by the back door. In a shared courtyard, the same mistake can affect a neighbouring unit, which is why committees increasingly want a written scope before approving outdoor tiles Warana complexes rely on.
We check fall and drainage on site before quoting, not after laying, and specify porcelain at 0.5% or lower water absorption with stainless or aluminium trims as standard this close to the surf. For courtyard work, we provide the written, itemised scope a committee needs to approve the job.
Moisture moving through the paver or bedding carries dissolved salts to the surface, common around pools and in sections of courtyard that stay damp.
Mostly cosmetic, but it signals moisture is moving through the tile bed more than it should.
We trace the moisture source, clean with the correct product (an acid wash alone can make it worse), check the fall, and reseal if needed.
Standard cement grout failing under shaded, damp courtyard conditions, or the wrong grout used for a tile that moves.
Crumbling grout lets water into the bedding, and black grout is the first thing a committee notices in a shared space.
We rake out and replace with a flexible, mould-resistant grout, and check that movement joints are actually there.
Mild steel or low-grade aluminium trim specified instead of marine-grade stainless or powder-coated aluminium, a kilometre from the surf.
Rust stains the tile face, and a failing trim eventually chips the tile edge it was meant to protect.
We replace with stainless or powder-coated aluminium trim specified for salt exposure.
Incomplete adhesive coverage at installation, or no movement joints to absorb normal expansion and contraction.
Hollow (drummy) tiles can crack or lift under foot traffic, usually in summer heat.
We lift and re-bed the affected tiles and install movement joints in line with AS 3958.1 guidance.

Book a Showroom VisitYes, our Premier Circuit showroom in Warana is open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm and Saturday 8:30am to 1pm, with the same porcelain, stone and timber-look ranges we quote on. Bring a photo of your space or just your measurements and we'll talk through what suits a pool deck, patio or courtyard.
Most Warana townhouse courtyards suit a textured, through-body porcelain in a mid tone that hides everyday dirt without looking dark in a shaded courtyard. We can bring samples to the site if a body corporate wants to see the tile against the existing render before approving it.
Standards Australia's HB 198 guide recommends a higher wet-barefoot slip rating for pool surrounds and steps than for a flat path, with steps generally needing the higher of the two. We match the paver's rating to where it's being laid rather than using one tile for the whole job.
Yes, particularly anywhere waterproofing is involved: around a pool, under a deck, or against a house wall. Our QBCC licence (15083457) covers both the tiling and the waterproofing beneath it, so one licensed trade is responsible for the whole job rather than two separate contractors.
We measure on site, then send a written quote that itemises preparation, waterproofing (where required), tile supply and labour separately. Price depends mainly on the tile chosen, the substrate condition, and how much of the existing surface needs to come up first. Site measures are free.
Warana's name is believed to have been put forward by Sunshine Coast developer Alfred Grant in March 1960, as part of the broader Kawana Waters development that later gave neighbouring Minyama and Parrearra their names too. Nicklin Way, the road that still carries most through-traffic along this stretch of coast, opened in June 1965. The light-industrial pocket around Premier Circuit, where our showroom has operated since 2009, grew up alongside the beachside housing and townhouse complexes that now surround it.
