Architects, designers and specifiers are able to choose ceramic tiles safe in the knowledge that they will be delivering a quality finish


then the fact that most roof tiles are made of ceramic materials should reassure any doubts. The worry of tiles becoming slippery when wet is easily handled – choosing tiles with a ‘slip-rating’ of R11 means the tile is textured and will not become dangerous when there’s moisture or water around.


Style


Ceramic tile can be used on floors and walls in almost any style of environment. New HD printing technology means that any design can be applied to ceramics. Natural stone effects like terrazzo and other marbles, dark grey slates or sandstone can be convincingly recreated at a fraction of the cost of the real thing and without the huge carbon footprints ordinarily involved. The same HD technol- ogy allows for any design to be produced in the most vibrant of colours – from traditional Victorian or Moroccan styles to contemporary graphic and linear patterns, the options are endless. And the design options aren’t just 2D – the surface of a ceramic tile can be moulded into textures or patterns that create tactile environments and add richness to interior schemes.


Cost


Ceramic tiles are incredibly good value. Customers can confidently specify based on durability, resilience, hygienic perform- ance, multi-application ability and a vast array of design choices with confidence on almost any design budget. Whether a luxurious hotel lobby, a modern office kitchen, a trendy restaurant or bar, commercial space architects, designers and specifiers are able to choose ceramic tiles safe in the knowledge that they will be delivering a quality finish.
