Payment & Security

We welcome all major debit and credit cards, such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. You can find a comprehensive list at the bottom of our website. Additionally, we offer convenient payment options like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay for faster transactions during checkout.
I can see a pending transaction in my bank account, but no order?
For security reasons, it's essential that the billing address associated with your card matches the one provided at checkout. If there is a discrepancy between the billing address on your card and the one you entered, your transaction may not be authorised and the payment will fail.
In such cases, your bank may hold the funds as a 'pending transaction', but some may show them as a regular transaction. How long the transactions are held for depends on your bank. Typically these transactions are reversed within 24 hours, but may take up to 5 working days.
If you reattempt checkout with the correct billing details, you won't be charged again, but your transaction will be authorised and your order will processed.
How do you prevent fraudulent activities?
Our commitment to preventing fraud and ensuring the safety of our business and customers leads us to employ an extra layer of security for online credit and debit card transactions. All successfully authorised payments undergo authentication using 3D Secure. It's important to note that your credit card number is neither stored nor accessible during or after the processing of your order, enhancing the security of your transactions.

FAQs: Clare Brown Black and Buff
When ordering tiles, how much extra should I buy?
It can be challenging to order the right amount of tiles for a project because there may be difficult cuts that lead to breakages or tiles that are not suitable for use. As a general rule, it is recommended to order 10% extra for cutting and waste. However, for smaller areas with large tiles, the wastage can be higher than 10%. To ensure that you have enough tiles for your project, it can be helpful to draw out the space and calculate the exact number of tiles needed, then add 10% for cutting and waste. If you would like help estimating the number of tiles needed, you can talk to your installer or one of our team members. Please note that these are only estimates and we cannot be held responsible for over- or under-ordering due to circumstances that may arise during installation.
What other products do I need for my tiling project?
Proper planning is essential when starting a tiling project. It is important to consider all the necessary products for substrate preparation, including underfloor heating, uncoupling membranes, adhesive, profiles, tiles, grout, silicone, and sealants if needed. Our team is able to provide expert advice and guidance for all types of installations, and with our wide range of installation products, we can help you achieve a successful installation from start to finish.
Can this tile be used for underfloor heating?
Yes. All of our floor-grade tiles, including porcelain and natural stone, are suitable for use with underfloor heating systems, whether they are wet or electric. We recommend that all underfloor heating systems be installed by a professional electrician and be covered with a self-levelling compound before installing the tiles.
Why are these tiles good for outside?
When installing tiles, the thickness and finish of the tiles should be chosen based on the type of substrate they will be laid on. For concrete bases, tiles with a thickness of 6-10mm are sufficient because the concrete base provides the necessary strength. On the other hand, a sand and mortar substrate requires a thicker tile, such as a 20mm porcelain, for increased strength and stability. To ensure safety, tiles used in outdoor areas with the potential for water or other hazards should have a high slip resistance rating, such as an R11 finish. Similarly, natural stone tiles should be chosen based on the thickness and finish that is appropriate for the substrate. Thinner stone tiles can be used on concrete bases, while thicker stones should be fixed on a mortar bed. Etched finishes can also provide increased slip resistance on natural stone tiles.
What grout should I choose?
It is generally a good idea to match the colour of the grout to the main colour of the tile to minimize its appearance. However, there are exceptions where you may want to use a contrasting grout colour to create a feature or highlight traditional tile patterns. Another factor to consider is the type of grout you use. Traditional cement-based grouts are durable but may fade over time, while epoxy grouts are more resistant to fading, retain their colour longer, and are waterproof, making them ideal for high traffic and wet areas. Ultimately, the decision of what colour and type of grout to use will depend on your personal preference and the specific needs of your project.
What is the best way to maintain my tiles?
For regular maintenance, it is best to use a high-quality pH-neutral cleaner, which is safe for use on all types of porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles. To deep clean your floor, you can use an alkaline-based cleaning product, which can remove old wax treatments and stubborn stains and is suitable for basic cleaning on unpolished natural stones. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using any cleaning product to ensure that it is used safely and effectively.
How much tile adhesive do I need?
A 20-kilogram bag of tile adhesive typically covers an area of 3 to 5 square meters, depending on the surface being tiled. As a general guideline, a 20-kilogram bag will cover:
- 5 square meters when installing an anti-fracture membrane, waterproofing membrane, or tile backer board.
- 4 square meters when installing tiles on old concrete, surface levelled or wall surfaces.
- 3 square meters when installing tiles on an anti-fracture membrane.
Should I use standard or fast set adhesive?
The choice between standard and fast-set tile adhesive depends on a variety of factors, including the type of tile, the surface being tiled, and the conditions in which the tiling is being done.
Standard tile adhesive is a good choice for most tile installations, as it provides a strong bond and allows for some flexibility in the tile positioning. It's also suitable for large format tiles and porcelain. Typically standard setting adhesives are used for wall tiling where you might need a bit more time to work.
Fast-set tile adhesive, as the name implies, sets quickly and can be used when time is of the essence, or if the conditions are such that the tile must be set in a short period of time. Also, this type of adhesive can be used in extreme weather conditions where the standard adhesive may not set properly. However, they are often not suitable for large format tile (larger than 600x600mm) unless specified by the manufacturer or combined with additives to increase the flexibility.
Don't hesitate to contact us for advice on selecting the appropriate and cost-efficient tile adhesive for your project.
