CERAMIC TILE MARKET (CTM)

CTM stocks a huge range of wall and floor tiles for the bargain-hunting home renovator. These outlets buy in bulk from the manufacturer and pass the savings directly on to the public. The stock is all first-quality but priced at bargain rates. The warehouse-style stores offer a no-frills approach and customers can walk away with their tiles on the same day of purchase (sure beats waiting for shipping and freight). The range is extensive enough to give great value and choice. Expect to pay from $14.95 per metre for bathroom tiles, $14.95 for vitrified floor tiles and $19.95 for polished porcelain tiles. Further savings are available on end-of-run tiles from $10 a square metre and special sale items.
