Porcelain pavers, pool tiles, natural stone and timber-look ranges in our Warana tile showroom, supplied or fully installed by our own team.
From beachfront balconies to leafy inland backyards, the Sunshine Coast asks a lot of outdoor surfaces: salt air, extreme summer UV and heavy wet-season rain. We are a family-owned business that has supplied and installed outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast homeowners, builders and businesses have trusted since 2009. Visit our Warana showroom to see full-size outdoor pavers and alfresco tiles, then choose supply-only or design, supply and install. It is the simplest way to find outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast conditions will not beat.
We service suburbs throughout the Sunshine Coast from our Warana showroom. Each suburb page below explains how local conditions change the outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast homes need there. If your suburb is not listed, we can still help with outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast wide.
Jerry and the Tile MakersUnit 2-5 Premier Circuit, Warana QLD 4575
The Sunshine Coast is a region of houses, with 73.1% of occupied homes being separate houses at the 2021 Census, and most have an alfresco area, a pool or a path that needs a hard-wearing surface. The challenge is that the right tile at the beach is not always the right tile ten kilometres inland. Distance from the surf, shade, slope and how you use the space all change the answer.
That is why we match outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast properties need to their location. Browse our full range of outdoor tiles for sale, from porcelain pavers to natural stone, then talk to a designer about your site. Our design and install service means the outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast clients choose are laid by our own trade-qualified tilers.
Walk in to 5 Premier Cct, Warana: Mon–Fri 8:30am–4:30pm, Sat 8:30am–1:00pm
Jerry and the Tilemakers began in Townsville in 1998 and opened on the Sunshine Coast in 2009. Owner Glenda Pelleri has more than 23 years in the tile industry, and her husband Dean leads our installation team. Between our designers and tilers, we bring more than 30 years of combined experience. Because we design, supply and install in-house, there is no gap between the advice you get in the showroom and the work done on site. For outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast weather tests year-round, that continuity is the difference between a surface that lasts and one that needs redoing.
Full-size displays of pool tiles, pavers, stone and timber-look ranges, with design consultations of about an hour.

One teamOur range covers outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast buyers need at a range of price points, from practical to premium.
Supply-only availableThese are the core services behind every job we do. Whatever the suburb, we quote outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast projects need from a site measure, with each item listed.
We supply waterline mosaics, pool coping and surround pavers, and install them for new pools and renovations. Surrounds are laid in finishes rated for wet bare feet, with falls away from the house and attention to the pool barrier's height above finished ground level.
Best for: pool owners renovating or building new
Explore our pool tile rangeFully vitrified porcelain absorbs 0.5% of its weight in water or less, so salt, stains and moisture have little to work on. It needs no sealing, comes in stone, concrete and timber looks, and is our go-to recommendation for exposed and high-traffic outdoor areas.
Best for: patios, paths, courtyards and beachside homes
Browse our outdoor tilesTravertine, sandstone and other natural stone bring texture and stay cooler underfoot. Every piece is unique. We advise where natural stone suits your exposure, supply it, and explain the sealing and re-sealing it needs to keep looking its best near salt air or shade.
Best for: pool surrounds and garden terraces with a natural look
Browse our natural stone collectionTimber-look tiles give the warmth of a timber deck without oiling, splinters, rot or termites. They are a popular way to avoid the maintenance of an outdoor deck, handle wet feet around the pool, and pair well with timber-look floors inside the house.
Best for: decks, verandahs and pool areas
View timber-look optionsBarbecue areas and outdoor kitchens need a wall surface that handles grease, smoke and weather. We supply and fix splashbacks that wipe clean and coordinate them with the alfresco tiles on the floor, so outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast entertainers choose look like one design.
Best for: entertainers with an outdoor kitchen or barbecue bench

The Sunshine Coast local government area had 342,541 residents at the 2021 Census. Its homes range from beachfront apartments to canal-front houses and inland family estates, and each setting brings different conditions. The Sunshine Coast Airport gauge averages 1,492.6 mm of rain a year across about 107 rain days.
Homes within about a kilometre of breaking surf sit in the National Construction Code's most severe salt-exposure band, while those 1 to 10 km inland are classed as moderate. Summer UV regularly reaches Extreme levels of 11 or more. February is the wettest month, averaging 217.5 mm, and shade keeps some surfaces damp for days.
A finish that thrives inland may fade, corrode or stain at the beach, while a coastal specification may be more than an inland home needs. Choosing by location avoids paying for the wrong thing.
We ask where your property sits before recommending anything. Beachfront homes get porcelain, flexible grout and corrosion-resistant trims. Canal and lake properties get extra attention to falls and splash zones. For inland blocks, outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast homeowners can choose include more natural stone, with slip-resistant tiles for shade and slopes. Our suburb pages explain how outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast suburbs need differ.

Whatever the suburb, a few problems come up across the region again and again. Here is what causes them, and how we fix outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast owners already have.
Heavy summer rain, humidity and shade keep surfaces damp, and algae grows on porous or smooth finishes and in cement grout.
Algae turns a safe surface slippery and stains grout lines.
Surface-glazed or pigmented products that are not suited to external use can fade under strong UV, and some sealers yellow.
Faded areas look patchy next to shaded spots, and chips reveal a different colour underneath.
Indoor tiles look similar in the shop, but many have smooth or polished faces without an external slip rating.
Once wet, they can become dangerous, particularly on pool surrounds, ramps and steps.

Close to breaking surf, salt and wind favour fully vitrified porcelain, flexible grout and corrosion-resistant trims. A few kilometres inland, salt is less of a factor, so natural stone becomes a practical option, and slip resistance in shade and on slopes matters more. We ask where your home sits before recommending outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast properties need.
Porcelain absorbs 0.5% of its weight in water or less, needs no sealing and suits exposed or high-traffic areas. Natural stone offers unique texture and stays cooler underfoot, but it is porous and needs sealing and periodic re-sealing. Many clients use stone in sheltered spots and porcelain where exposure is harsh. We show both side by side in the showroom.
Standards Australia's handbook HB 198 recommends P4 or R11 for external walkways, balconies, courtyards and gentle ramps, and P5 or R12 for ramps steeper than 1:14. Pool surrounds are assessed with a wet barefoot test, with Class B recommended and a higher class for steps into the pool. We match slip-resistant tiles to how each area is used.
You can walk in or book a time. Consultations usually take around an hour, and our designers help you narrow down tiles to suit your home, budget and conditions. We can also put together a room concept covering finishes. After that, our tradesmen measure the site and prepare a free, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We hold a QBCC licence, number 15083457, in the wall and floor tiling class, which covers cutting and fixing tiles to floors, walls and pools, and applying waterproofing for tiling. In Queensland, tiling work valued over $3,300 must be done by a licensed contractor, which applies to most outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast homeowners have installed.
The Sunshine Coast name was adopted by the Maroochy, Noosa and Landsborough shire councils in November 1966, and became official on 1 August 1967. Sunshine Coast Regional Council was formed in 2008, and Noosa separated again on 1 January 2014. Our story here began in 2009, when Jerry and the Tilemakers expanded from Townsville and Mission Beach and opened in Warana. Today our tile showroom is the base for all our outdoor tiling, and for the outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast homes and businesses order from us, whether supplied or installed.
Our showroom and team are based in Warana. Visit to choose outdoor tiles Sunshine Coast homes need, or book a free site measure anywhere in our service area.
