At Lifemark®, we believe that great design should be inclusive, intuitive, and built to last. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome Tile Warehouse as our newest Product Partner – a company that shares our commitment to creating homes that work for everyone, at every stage of life.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

Tile Warehouse believes that great design should be for everyone. Their decision to partner with Lifemark® reflects a growing movement in New Zealand: designing homes that are not only beautiful, but also usable, accessible, and future-ready.

As more Kiwis embrace multigenerational living and plan for long-term usability, Universal Design is more important than ever. Tile Warehouse recognised that Lifemark®’s standards aligned perfectly with their mission – to create beautiful spaces that are functional for all stages of life.

What Makes a Lifemark® Approved Product?

Lifemark® approved products go through individual evaluation to ensure they meet our high standards for accessibility, safety, and usability. The approved tiles from Tile Warehouse offer a number of features, including:

• Slip Resistance: Ideal for wet areas and high-traffic zones, reducing the risk of falls.
• Large Format & Flat Surfaces: Easier movement for wheelchairs and walkers, with fewer grout lines.
• Durability: Designed to perform for decades, even in demanding environments.
• Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and hygienic – a win for all households.

These features aren’t just practical – they’re essential for creating homes that support independence, dignity, and wellbeing.

Lifemark® Approved Tiles Now Available

Tile Warehouse has already introduced several Lifemark® approved products, including:

• Villa Stone – Low-slip surface, perfect for bathrooms and entryways
• Tivoli Vein Cut – Large-format porcelain, ideal for smooth wheelchair navigation
• Silver River – Textured finish for grip, with sleek modern styling

A full list of approved products will be available soon on the Tile Warehouse website – giving homeowners, designers, and developers more choice when planning accessible spaces.

At Lifemark®, we’re proud to work with forward-thinking partners like Tile Warehouse who understand that designing for life means designing for everyone.
