Tile Sizes
We paint on both hand made and factory made tiles. Hand made tiles are available in most sizes and can be made to a specific thickness but are usually around 7mm thick. They can also be made in various shapes. Hand made tiles are always subject to variations and therefore sizes are never exact - it adds to the appeal.
Factory made tile sizes:
10 X 10 cm (3.9 inches square)
14.8 X 14.8 cm (5.8 inches square)
15.4 X 15.4 cm (6 inches square)
We also do border tiles for the two larger tiles: 14.8 X 7.4 cm and 15.4 X 7.8 cm

Colours
To see the range of colours see the Colours page or look at the Plain Tiles page.
We have made every effort to be accurate in the depiction of our colours, but due to the nature of the technology and also due to the nature of ceramics, variations are inevitable.
If you feel unsure about the colours then a colour sample tile can be ordered at minimum cost.
All of our tiles are hand painted without stencils , so are all unique - as with the colours there will always be variation, which is part of the appeal of hand crafted work.

Technical
All of the tiles you can see on this website are earthenware, ie. fired to 1060° Centigrade or below. Our tiles are suitable for interior walls in any situation (for example fireplaces, behind Agas and Rayburns, bathrooms and showers and swimming pools) but not for floors, work surfaces or exteriors. Stoneware tiles can be made for floors with heavy traffic, or for exteriors by special commission.
