Kaolin Surfaces: Redefining Reliability in Tile Supply

In an industry often plagued by supply challenges, unreliable quality, delivery delays and opaque pricing, Kaolin Porcelain Surfaces is stepping up to set new standards in supplier reliability. 

As the only family-owned porcelain tile manufacturer with a direct presence in Australia, Kaolin stands out with its flagship showroom in Sydney. 

Kaolin is also the sole manufacturer in Australia whose entire tile range holds the prestigious Level A GreenRate certification by Global Greentag—a sustainability mark acknowledged by the Green Building Council of Australia.

Here’s an overview of the unique advantages Kaolin brings to the table: 

Pricing 


Kaolin’s dual role as manufacturer and supplier enables a unique advantage: competitive pricing without compromising quality.

With products starting as low as $25/sq m, Kaolin’s Commercial Range offers one of the most affordable, sustainable options in Australia.

Kaolin collaborates closely with clients, helping them strike a perfect balance between aesthetics and budget.

By removing the middleman, Kaolin offers direct access to competitive pricing and eliminates common industry pain points associated with cost markups and miscommunication. 

This pricing transparency empowers developers to realise projects as envisioned, without having to substitute materials or compromise design due to budget constraints.

Customisation in the commercial range 


Kaolin is renowned for its premium design customisation and continues to innovate through collaborations, including a recent porcelain tile collection with Greg Natale. 

The newly launched Kaolin commercial range addresses market demands, offering developers and buyers the flexibility to realise their design intentions.

Too often, budget constraints lead to ‘like-for-like’ substitutions, which compromise the architect’s or designer’s original vision.

Kaolin’s commercial range empowers the architecture and design (A&D) community to work with confidence and consistency. 

The specialised soft-to-touch P4 finish across Kaolin’s entire internal and external tile selection provides a cohesive, seamless look.

This year, Kaolin plans to introduce customisable options within its commercial ranges, including bespoke mosaics and an expanded Kaolin Decor collection.

This focus on customisation ensures that each project can reflect a distinct design identity, supporting A&D professionals to lead with originality instead of conforming to a limited market selection. 

Setting a benchmark for quality and precision 


Reliability in quality is a hallmark of Kaolin’s manufacturing process. Manufacturing all products within the same advanced facility allows Kaolin to maintain consistent quality across both affordable and high-end ranges.

As the only supplier in the market offering tiles that can be laid with a 0.5mm grout joint, Kaolin sets a high standard.

Surface flatness at Kaolin exceeds international standards by nearly 10 times, ensuring defect-free tiles and eliminating concerns over rectification work or non-compliance with Australian Standards. 

Reliability and transparency across the supply chain 


Partnering directly with Kaolin means you get clear, transparent information. Operating state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities [pictured at top] in southern China, Kaolin produces up to 70,000sq m of tiles daily, ensuring batch consistency without variations in shade or size.

Kaolin provides detailed production schedules, logistics updates, and vessel tracking, offering peace of mind throughout the supply chain.

Furthermore, with AI-enhanced storage facilities, Kaolin can hold your goods until you’re ready for shipment, adding flexibility to your delivery timelines.
