When we want to purchase tiles for a project, our first thought is often to go online. However, there are many dangers to buying tiles online and in many cases customers would benefit from visiting local showrooms. Below we've put together some tips to help you avoid some of the most common mistakes when buying tiles online.
Buying online can be a slower process
If you're buying online, you'll need to order sample tiles to get a real feel for the texture and color of the tile of your interest. It's important to get a sample as you could end up with tiles you don't like, which will prove expensive. A much quicker and easier way to do this would be to visit your local tile retailer, select the tiles you want and arrange a suitable delivery time. As a tile expert, I am here to provide you with advice and support to ensure your experience is as easy and pleasant as possible throughout your entire buying process.
Batch differences
Even after receiving samples, you may still receive tiles from a different batch when purchasing online due to inventory turnover. As a result, the tiles you receive may vary in size, shade and quality. However, when purchasing tiles from Madeo, we can ensure that the tiles you take home are from the same batch and are of consistent quality, shade and size.
I can't touch and feel the tiles
Different tiles have different finishes and textures that you cannot fully appreciate and experience online. However, you can touch and feel our tiles to ensure they fully meet your requirements and needs. I often bring the selected tiles home to customers because, depending on the size and light, the tile looks different in the home than in the exhibition.
Better value for money in store
Some tiles may be advertised online at massive discounts, but I can often find lower prices directly from the tile manufacturers or wholesalers in the area. I can also advise you on dealer discounts, special offers, tile accessories and application technology. While value matters, it is also important to remember that tiling jobs often take a long time and it is important to ensure that good quality tiles are used to withstand the test of time.
Breakage damage
What do you do if you receive broken tiles from an online retailer? Are you responsible for breakages? Can you get a replacement fast enough? Do you have to pay for replacements? I personally check our tiles before they leave our warehouse and showrooms, replace any that need to be replaced before you receive them.
