In addition with our metallic grey boss in 60x60cm and 60x120cm format. The ‘boss’ effect from this collection is very distinctive and industrial.

OUR PROJECTS
NANDOS WEDNESBURY The concept for this Nandos project was to keep visibility through out the restaurant. The client fell in love with our terracotta tiles. The geometry and the warming colours, were perfect. The site consisted of a lot of glazing and was one of the challenges as they wanted to create secluded areas
This is just one of the many Nandos we have been involved in. See more on our website.

WALL TILE OF THE YEAR 2018 FUTURA IS NOW.
ALPHABET OF BASIC SHAPES
Futura is the evolution of multiple concepts. An adaptable collection, an alphabet of basic shapes that lend themselves to various formal, stylistic interpretations. Multiple layouts and solutions that allow a true personalisation of the project, leaving room for a balanced coexistence of different atmospheres.
Futura is a collection that portrays a strong visual impact. It is the evolution of multiple concepts. The idea was inspired from the main protagonists of the artistic and architectural currents of the first half of the 20th century. This collection takes the main focus of inspiration from the strong contemporary dynamics of both Bauhaus and the French architect Pierre Chareau. The collection consists of 4 variants in colour; White, Black, Rose and Blue. The main base colour is Cement Grey, which allows the graphics to take the main focus of the tile. In turn, the collection generates 8 different styling patterns to compliment the plain tiles. Available in the format of15x15cm, with a thickness of 10mm, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor usage.
FUTURA IS NOW
EXPLORE THE WORLD OF LARGE FORMAT TILES WHAT ARE LARGE FORMAT TILES? LFT’s are any format from 80x80cm up to 160x320cm and are usually 6mm thick. This is a great alternative to natural marble, which would be 40mm thick & difficult to install. The most popular LFT is a “Chain Wrap” marble effect. This is where the marble veins will join and continue around the whole room with no breaks in the effect. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES? Large format porcelain offers a real alternative to traditional natural stone
slabs. The material is light weight and seamless. Providing minimal grout lines with maximum aesthetics and impact to any space. In addition the ‘LFT’ offer versatility and are highly resistant to scratches and stains. HOW ARE THEY INSTALLED? These tiles are installed using the same adhesion methods as normal tiles however extra care needs to be taken when cutting and handling. Using the correct kit is essential, this includes special extra long rail cutters and flat work benches. The use of a carry frame with vacuum suction cups
