Services
Premium Porcelain Tiles
Our premium porcelain tiles offer exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal for both residential and commercial applications. These tiles resist moisture, stains, and wear while maintaining their colour and finish over time. Available in various sizes, textures, and designs, they suit bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor areas, and high-traffic commercial spaces. Our range includes rectified and non-rectified options to accommodate different installation requirements.
Natural Stone Tiles
We supply natural stone tiles including travertine, marble, and granite that add timeless elegance to any space. These tiles undergo quality testing to ensure they meet Australian standards for performance and safety. Our collection features polished, honed, and textured finishes in various formats to suit contemporary and traditional designs. Each stone's unique veining and patterns create distinctive installations.
Tile Adhesives
Our comprehensive range of tile adhesives includes flexible, non-slump, and fast-drying formulas for different substrates and environments. Products like ARDEX X18 and X52 provide strong bonding for wall and floor applications in wet areas, commercial settings, and structural installations. We offer cement-based, polymer-modified, and two-part epoxy adhesives to suit specific project requirements.
Waterproofing Systems
We provide advanced waterproofing solutions for bathrooms, showers, and outdoor areas using products like ARDEX Waterproofing Membranes and Kemcrete. These systems create durable, watertight barriers that prevent moisture penetration while allowing vapour transmission. Our solutions comply with Australian building codes and are suitable for both new constructions and renovation projects.

Our commercial tiling solutions cater to hotels, retail spaces, and office developments with high-performance products and tailored service.

1st time customer and will be using Marlin from now on. The service, product range and knowledge was amazing. My only regret is that I hadn't discovered them sooner. Do yourself a favour.
