––– The restoration of this 1902 Peppermint Grove manor demanded a balance of heritage sensitivity and technical expertise — a challenge Marvell Tile and Stone met beautifully. Collaborating with Talo Constructions, their team delivered tiling craftsmanship of the highest calibre. Bathrooms and ensuites were lined floor-to-ceiling with natural limestone, paired with briquette-style porcelain floors that aligned seamlessly with external terracotta — an impressive achievement in set-out accuracy. The same precision carried into the laundry and balcony, where 20mm porcelain tiles were installed on a pedestal system, creating a flawless flow between indoor and outdoor living. A standout success was the backyard, where natural Cotto terracotta tiles were carefully cleaned, dried, installed, and sealed to perfection.
