What if you weren't limited to what's on suppliers' collections (ours 
included...)? Now you aren't. Whatever amazing design idea you have in 
your head ­ we can make it real. 
Custom­made tiles in 5 easy steps: 
1. Let your imagination go wild. 
We'll be happy to discuss with 
you any idea you can express 
visually, even on a 
coffee­shop napkin (although 
we prefer a 3D graphic file...) 
 
2. After formalising a concept 
we will swap drafts until we 
reach the desired outcome. 
 
 
 
 
3. Once a design has been 
agreed we will start planning 
production. This is an internal 
process that will result in a 
prototype. 
 
 
 
4. That's the moment of truth ­ 
you'll see the final product, be 
able to hold it and feel it in 
real form. If you are happy with 
the result it's on to 
production. If not ­ it's back to 
the drawing board. 
 
5. Now the burden of proof is 
on us but since we've done 
this numerous times we're not 
worried. Neither should you 
be. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Frequently Asked Questions 
 
1. How long does it take? Well, we only control the parts of the process that we do. 
Producing a prototype takes around 3 weeks and tiles production will take 4­6 weeks, 
depending on the quantity and budget. We can increase the number of molds to reduce 
production times. 
2. How to transfer ideas and plans? Initial ideas can be sent even as a sketch drawing. 
Executable plans should be in a 3D CAD file. 
3. Are there any design limitations? Absolutely not. We have already made products that 
had appeared to be totally absurd on paper but some issues should be considered: 
○ Size: There’s no problem to manufacture giant tiles but one has to consider the 
weight. a 100cm*100cm*2cm tile weighs ca. 50kg and will require proper lifting 
and anchoring means. One of the advantages of custom­made tiles is the ability 
to use a visual element to create repetitions and have an array of smaller tiles 
look like a large single unit (see ​TryAngle​ for example). 
○ Colour: We use in­mix pigments that allow us to create a wide spectrum of 
colours. Given enough time (and budget) we can reach a specific Pantone but a 
close match can be produced quickly and without any special expenditure. 
○ Texture: Flat tiles can be Smooth, Crumble or Rough (see ​Textures and Colours 
page). 
○ Reliefs and imprints: We can make tiles with paper­thin or substantial reliefs or 
imprints. 
○ Minimum order size: There isn’t one but due to high production and shipping 
costs the larger the order, the lower the unit cost. 
4. Is a prototype chargeable? Yes, but if an order is to follow, the prepaid cost of the 
prototype is deducted from the final bill.
