Despite many believing that the emulating of natural stone and wood products would start to fade with tile manufacturers, it has not. In fact, many of your ‘top’ quality manufacturers from Italy and Spain have again produced tiles that have the natural appearance of wood, linen, granite, travertine, marble and cement. The colours’ varying surface effects is what makes the more experienced and quality driven manufacturers’ stand out.
What is more apparent is the seeming lack of interest shown in the more monochromatic look. Customers are certainly excited about the combinations of structured and polished tiles. The realisation among many of the architects and designers is that the cheapest of imported products are very often not the best and, in many instances these tend to fail the application it is used for. Customers are asking questions about durability in combination with the aesthetic appeal of the product.
Natural stone… Well, the durability and timelessness of the product just carries on. Marble, granite, travertine, quartzite, sandstone and limestone… the products of nature’s gods. Once you have been moved by the product and felt the pull of nature’s beauty you will not happily be persuaded to deviate to other products. The natural veining and vibrancy of marble is a delight to the senses. These are truly products that have been created for an eternity.
There are so many surprises that we have to offer in terms of products, size, great quality and good pricing. Please join us for a feast of beauty That will inspire all your senses. Many of our new products will be arriving shortly, so watch this space!
