Vanguard Collection

The Vanguard Collection tiles measure 45x45cm, making them a versatile medium floor tile that works well in a wide range of room sizes. They are particularly effective in medium to large rooms, where the format helps reduce the number of grout lines and creates a cleaner, more open feel.

For a neat, contemporary finish with 45x45cm floor tiles, a grout joint of between 3mm and 5mm is typically recommended. Always check the tile edges before installation – if the tiles are rectified, you can opt for a tighter joint for a more seamless look.

Yes, the Vanguard Collection is well suited to hallways and other busy areas of the home, provided you select the correct tile finish and ensure the surface is properly prepared before laying. Medium format floor tiles like these are a popular choice for entrance halls because their size strikes a practical balance between visual impact and ease of installation.

To calculate how many tiles you need, measure the total floor area in square metres and then add at least 10% extra to account for cuts, waste, and any future repairs. Our team at Stoke Tiles is happy to help you work out quantities if you get in touch before placing your order.

Porcelain and ceramic floor tiles in the medium format range are generally an excellent choice for use with underfloor heating systems, as they conduct and retain heat efficiently. We recommend confirming the specific tile specification on the product page or contacting us directly to ensure the Vanguard tile you have chosen is compatible with your heating system.
