Emerald Tile is a tile showroom and installation business based in Phillipstown, Christchurch, serving customers renovating bathrooms, building new homes, or looking for professional tiling services. The business is led by Managing Director Rob Kenny, who oversees installation, and Showroom Sales Director Shae Kenny, who runs the showroom side of the business.
The showroom stocks a range of tile formats, including 600x600mm, 1200x600mm and 200x1200mm tiles, alongside a large feature and splashback tile range covering styles from clean white herringbone-pattern wall tiles to handcrafted zellige-style matte tiles in colours like dark grey, marine and olive. The installation side of the business works with certified installers and partners, including SiteWise Gold certification, Thermafloor for underfloor heating installation, and Nurajack decking pedestal systems.
Customers can either visit the Phillipstown showroom in person to browse tiles, or get in touch separately with the showroom or installation teams depending on what they need.
On Tuam Street in Phillipstown, Christchurch, Emerald Tile runs both a tile showroom and a professional installation service, aimed at anyone renovating a bathroom, building a new home, or simply after a tiling job done properly. The business is run by Managing Director Rob Kenny, who leads the installation side, and Showroom Sales Director Shae Kenny, who runs the retail showroom.
The showroom carries a genuinely wide tile range, including large-format 600x600mm and 1200x600mm tiles, elongated 200x1200mm tiles, and an extensive feature and splashback collection running to dozens of styles. That collection spans clean, contemporary options like the white herringbone-pattern Aquarella tiles, gloss subway tiles in shades like Artis Sea Green and Artis Dark Verde, and the handcrafted Brutalist range — zellige-style matte tiles with an irregular, handmade surface, available in dark grey, marine blue and olive green, among other colours.
Beyond selling tiles, Emerald Tile's installation team works with a set of recognised partners and certifications. The business holds SiteWise Gold certification, a mark of safety and quality standards on the trade side, and works with Tilers' Mate as an installation partner. For homeowners wanting more than tiles on the wall, the team also installs underfloor heating through a partnership with Thermafloor, and uses Nurajack decking pedestal systems for outdoor tiling and decking projects.
Emerald Tile deliberately splits its contact points between showroom and installation enquiries — Shae handles showroom sales questions, while Rob and the installation team take calls about fitting and project work. It's a structure that reflects the two halves of what the business does: helping customers choose the right tile, and then making sure it's properly and safely installed.
Emerald Tile's showroom is located at 422 Tuam Street, Phillipstown, Christchurch 8011, and is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. Customers can browse the tile range online ahead of a visit, or get in touch directly with the showroom or installation teams by phone or email.
