Residential & commercial · Direct tile imports

Large-format tiles.
A different sense of space.

Beautiful surfaces, directly from the makers.

We import tiles directly from Apavisa, RAK Ceramics, Imola and VitrA for homes and commercial interiors. From our design studio in Rugby, we help you explore an extensive choice of colours, textures and formats for projects across the UK.

Large format is a particular passion: generous surfaces, considered joints and a finish that lets the whole room breathe.

Large-format tile specialists

Think beyond
the individual tile.

We look at the whole surface: how a floor moves through an open-plan home, how veining meets at a corner, and how a shower wall sits behind the fittings.

Larger tiles can mean fewer grout lines and a more continuous visual finish. Thoughtful setting out still matters, from the joints and cut edges to niches, thresholds and drainage.

Explore generous formats such as 600 × 1200 mm and 1200 × 1200 mm, alongside larger porcelain slabs where the chosen collection and application allow.

01

Choose the right finish.

Stone, marble, concrete, terrazzo-style or colour. Consider texture and performance alongside appearance.

02

Plan the whole surface.

Look at proportions, grout colour, veining and the relationship between walls, floors and adjoining rooms.

03

Resolve the practical details.

Check the substrate, site access, handling and installation requirements with your project team before committing to a format.

Before we begin

Your tile questions.

Not sure where to start? A photograph, a plan or a simple idea is enough for a first conversation.

Which tile manufacturers can you import from?

We import directly from Apavisa, RAK Ceramics, Imola and VitrA. Share a collection name, photograph or specification and we can check the options for your project.

Do you specialise in large-format tiles?

Yes. Large-format tiles are a particular focus for us, from generous floor tiles to slab-format porcelain for suitable wall applications. We help you consider the scale, finish and layout in relation to the room.

Can you supply tiles for commercial projects?

Yes. We work with architects, interior designers, developers and contractors as well as homeowners. Send your tile schedule, drawings, quantities and programme so we can discuss a suitable supply package.

Can I buy tiles without a complete room design?

Yes. We can help with tile specification and product supply on their own, or as part of a wider kitchen, bathroom or interior project.

Can you help with outdoor and wet-area tiles?

Yes. Tell us where the tile will be used. We will check the proposed product’s suitability, including the finish, slip performance, thickness and installation requirements, with the relevant manufacturer information.

How do I check samples, pricing and lead times?

Contact our Rugby design team with your preferred collection, format and approximate quantity. We will discuss sample options and confirm pricing, availability and delivery arrangements for your selection before an order is agreed.
