Floor Tiling
Floor tiles set the tone for every room in your home or business. A well-chosen, professionally installed tile floor is durable, easy to maintain, and adds lasting value to your property. Rohullah Rassuli Tiling Services delivers expert floor tiling across the Wellington region — from single-room upgrades to full commercial fit-outs.
We work with the latest tile formats and finishes to create floors that look exceptional and perform brilliantly. Whether you want the warmth of timber-look porcelain in your living room, the industrial edge of concrete-look tiles in a retail space, or classic natural stone in a grand entrance, we have the skills and experience to bring your vision to life.
Every floor tiling project begins with thorough surface assessment and preparation — because a tile floor is only as good as the substrate beneath it.

Heavy-duty tiles for garages, workshops, and utility areas. We install tiles that resist chemical spills, impacts, and the weight of vehicles and equipment.
Types of Floor Tiles
We install every type of floor tile — here are the most popular choices for Wellington homes and businesses.
Large-Format Porcelain
Tiles in 600x600mm, 600x1200mm, and even 1200x1200mm formats create a sleek, spacious look with fewer grout lines. The most popular choice for modern Wellington homes. Requires expert installation and a perfectly level substrate.
Timber-Look Tiles
Porcelain planks that replicate the warmth and grain of natural timber — without the maintenance, water sensitivity, or scratching. Available in a wide range of timber species and tones, from light oak to dark walnut.
Concrete-Look Tiles
The industrial, polished-concrete aesthetic without the cold, cracking, or moisture issues. Concrete-look porcelain tiles are popular in Wellington's contemporary apartments and commercial fit-outs.
Natural Stone
Marble, travertine, slate, limestone, and granite — each with unique veining and colour variation. Natural stone floors bring unmatched character and luxury. We seal and finish stone tiles for long-lasting beauty.
Terrazzo & Terrazzo-Look
Terrazzo has made a strong comeback in Wellington design. Whether you choose genuine terrazzo tiles or porcelain reproductions, we deliver precision installation for this distinctive, speckled finish.
Slip-Resistant Tiles
Textured and rated tiles for wet areas, commercial kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. We advise on the correct slip resistance rating (P-rating) for your specific application.
Surface Preparation, Levelling & Screeding
The most common cause of floor tile failure is poor substrate preparation. Tiles laid on an uneven, weak, or contaminated surface will crack, tent, or debond over time — no matter how good the tile or adhesive is.
At Rohullah Rassuli Tiling Services, we invest the time to get the substrate right before a single tile is laid. This includes:
- Substrate assessment — checking for cracks, moisture, contamination, and structural soundness
- Levelling and screeding — applying self-levelling compound or sand-cement screed to create a flat, even base
- Crack isolation membranes — applied over existing cracks to prevent them from telegraphing through to the tiles
- Priming — ensuring the adhesive bonds properly to the substrate
- Expansion joints — planned at doorways, perimeter edges, and large floor areas to accommodate natural building movement
This preparation work is especially important in Wellington, where seismic activity and timber-framed construction mean floors are subject to greater movement than in many other parts of New Zealand.

Floor tiling works hand-in-hand with several of our other services. Consider underfloor heating beneath your tiles for cosy, warm floors during Wellington's winter months. For bathroom and laundry floors, waterproofing is a mandatory step we handle as part of the tiling process.
If you have existing floor tiles that are cracked, loose, or outdated, our tile repair and replacement service can restore your floors without a complete retile.

Frequently Asked Questions — Floor Tiling
What size floor tiles do you recommend?
For most residential spaces, we recommend 600x600mm or larger format tiles such as 600x1200mm. Larger tiles create a more spacious, modern look with fewer grout lines. For smaller rooms like bathrooms, 300x600mm tiles work well. We will assess your space and help you choose the right size during your free quote visit.
Can you install underfloor heating with floor tiles?
Yes, we regularly install electric underfloor heating mats beneath tiles. Tiles are an ideal surface for underfloor heating as they conduct warmth efficiently. We ensure the heating elements are properly embedded in flexible adhesive for a durable, even heat distribution. See our underfloor heating service for more details.
How do you ensure floor tiles are perfectly level?
We use a combination of self-levelling compound for substrate preparation and a tile levelling system during installation. This ensures every tile sits flush with its neighbours, eliminating lippage. For large-format tiles, this is especially important and is standard practice on all our floor tiling projects in Wellington.
What is the best floor tile for high-traffic areas?
Porcelain tiles are the best choice for high-traffic areas due to their superior hardness, scratch resistance, and low water absorption. We recommend full-body porcelain tiles for commercial spaces and hallways, as they maintain their appearance even with heavy use over many years.
