Tilers in Yaninee

South Australia is hard on tiles. Many parts of the state sit on reactive clay soils that move with the seasons, summer heat pushes external tiling through large temperature swings, and plenty of older homes have movement in the slab or frame. Whether the property is in Yaninee or anywhere else in the state, an experienced tiler allows for this with the right adhesives, movement joints and membranes rather than finding out later.

Whyalla has a large stock of mid-century homes built for steelworks and shipyard workers, many of them modest brick homes on generous blocks. Port Lincoln and the coastal towns mix older stone and post-war brick homes with holiday houses and newer builds, while the inland farming districts are dominated by farmhouses and small-town cottages.
