By Garry Brownlie : GIB Tiling
After years of installing outdoor tiles across Perth’s diverse suburbs, from coastal properties battling salt air to inland homes facing extreme temperature fluctuations, I’ve gained valuable insights about what truly works in our unique climate.
Today, as one of Perth’s most experienced tilers I’ll share my practical experience about choosing and installing weather-resistant outdoor tiles that can handle Perth’s challenging conditions.
Understanding Perth’s Climate Challenges
Our local weather creates specific demands on outdoor tiling that you won’t find in many other Australian cities:
Coastal Considerations
- Beachside Challenges
- Salt air exposure
- Wind-driven sand
- Intense UV radiation
- Temperature fluctuations
Inland Factors
- Suburban Conditions
- Extreme heat
- Winter frost risk
- Dramatic temperature changes
- Heavy rain events
Real Project Experience
One of our clients, Andy Wong, shared: ”
Garry is the man. I found him online due to the amazing online review and rating and he lived up to it. He promised to work on it and delivered.
Further detail for those who are interested:
I am an interstate investor and I have never been to my property before. It’s not hard to imagine that I do not know about my property as well as my agent. It’s been really hard to organise a tiler to attend my property due to availability, 3 way phone calls between the agent , myself and the tiler. I called Garry up and spoke with him , he worked with my agent to carry out the work. There were hick ups in the process , such as access time and date. I have seen other tiler just started ghosting and not answering calls, or flat out just say it’s not something that they do. Garry and his team got the skill to get the job done , on top of that reply and address your concern in a professional manner. Recommend. Thanks Garry”
What Andy didn’t mention was how we specifically selected materials and techniques to ensure his outdoor tiles would withstand Perth’s very hot days!
