Auckland builds townhouses and apartments across the isthmus, Christchurch has rebuilt itself since the earthquakes, and Wellington, Queenstown and Tauranga renovate villas and build holiday homes. Kiwi kitchens and bathrooms follow the same design trends as Australia, with a taste for natural, handmade-looking surfaces, and nearly all tiles are imported.
Axoli Tiles supplies New Zealand importers, tile showrooms and designers from Morbi, twenty-eight to thirty-eight days by sea, packed on ISPM 15 pallets in clean containers for biosecurity, with samples couriered first.
Designs that suit New Zealand
Sage herringbone, terracotta and brick designs for kitchens; picket and hexagon patterns for bathrooms and feature walls; encaustic patterns for entries and laundries; stone looks for fireplaces and outdoor living walls; and glossy whites for compact bathrooms. Glazed ceramic for a damp, temperate climate.
