Tile Warehouse is proud to lead the way in creating spaces that are beautiful, safe, and environmentally responsible. We’re making two major announcements that set new benchmarks for the tile industry in New Zealand… becoming a Lifemark® Product Partner and introducing New Zealand’s only Global GreenTagCert™ porcelain tile ranges from China.
Tile Warehouse Becomes a Lifemark® Product Partner
At Tile Warehouse, we’ve always believed great design should work for everyone. That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with Lifemark®, New Zealand’s trusted certification for accessible, safe, and Universally Designed homes.
Our journey to becoming a Lifemark® Product Partner was inspired by a shared vision: to create spaces that are functional for all stages of life. As more Kiwis embrace multigenerational living and plan for the long term, accessible design has never been more important.
Why We Partnered with Lifemark®
Universal Design – Products that meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities.
Safety & Comfort – Reducing slip risks and supporting independent living.
Sustainable Choices – Tiles that remain beautiful, durable, and functional for decades.
Lifemark® Approved Tiles in Our Range
Villa Stone – Low-slip surface ideal for wet areas and high-traffic zones.
Tivoli Vein Cut – Large-format porcelain tile offering beauty and easy wheelchair manoeuvrability.
Silver River – Textured grip for safety without sacrificing contemporary aesthetics.
These tiles stand out for their slip resistance, large formats with minimal grout lines, long-term durability, and easy maintenance = key factors in creating homes that are safe and stylish for everyone.
We will continue expanding our Lifemark® approved range, ensuring more products meet or exceed the high standards for accessibility and universal usability.
