Australian Tilers Directory

First post for this new Tradesman blog is a review of an Australian Directory of Tilers and tiling related businesses. This is one service that is yet to be catered for, and not only for tilers but many trades and occupations. And let’s be honest, many professional services are only ever needed a few times and the majority of people simply don’t have the desire to spend too much time resolving this problem. A comprehensive tilers online guide, that informs through easy to read articles and a directory that lists professionals willing to do a job you’re after seems like a winner to me.
Tilers.com.au aims to become the place for web users to find a tiler or tile shops in their local area. With an extensive list of businesses, contact details and addresses (conveniently mapped out on Google Maps) the functionality of the site will only help the popularity and audience grow. The search functions are broken into locations and categories. The map of Australia filters the results by state and the cities links to the tilers in the eight capital cities. Click on the appropriate search function and view the list of tilers available. Handy and simple.
As for the information presented on the article subpages, it’s all very introductory and written for the consumer who has limited knowledge of what’ll work and what should be ignored. If you’re thinking about renovating your home the tiling, paving, cladding or roofing section could be a helpful first step. Research from a trusted source with listings on how to call a tiler, all conveniently in the one place and online for free viewing, Tilers.com.au.
