A guide to our tile collections - which will you choose?
While we're proud to offer such a vast range of tile collections, we understand that sometimes our customers can feel a little unsure where to start. So, that's why we thought we'd take the time to go through each of our wonderful tile collections and explain the background behind them, as well as discuss the variety of options and styles available.
Tileworks
Our collection of contemporary, porcelain and ceramic tiles mainly in a large format. These tiles are created using the latest ink-jet technology, so many of them look just like natural stone, wood and even concrete. The Tileworks collection is trend-led and contains the newest and freshest styles, with options for walls and floors in bathrooms, kitchens, living spaces or wherever you choose! This collection offers something for every area of the home and even commercial settings like hotels, restaurants and bars. Here's an overview of the Tileworks collection:
- A range of ceramic (a tile material usually used on walls) and porcelain (a tile material usually used on floors) tiles in large format sizes
- Realistic stone, concrete, wood and metallic effects all with practical and durable qualities
- Contemporary styles that have a modern feel
- The Tileworks collection also pairs well with our other collections and creates the perfect canvas for adding a splash of colour
Artworks
As our longest standing collection, it's no surprise that Artworks is one of our most cherished. We've been creating classic and decorated tiles and mouldings in our Devon factory since 1986, and, while the Artworks collection has grown and evolved over the last three decades, many of the original pieces are still in the range and just as timeless today. Here's all you need to know about the Artworks collection:
- Glazed wall tiles in a variety of size formats including; field tiles, brick tiles and metro tiles
- Many colour options like Brilliant White, Jet Black, Burgundy, Royal Blue and more contemporary shades like Chancel Grey and Vintage White
- A number of decorated wall tiles such as vintage florals and detailed tile panel sets, perfect for fireplaces (which is exactly how this collection began!)
- Plenty of beautiful mouldings from a simple Omega to a more detailed Egg and Dart, all perfect for adding those finishing touches
- All created in our Devon Factory
Mosaics
Mosaics have been around for centuries and today, they're still used in interiors to add detail, colour and texture, they're also brilliant for breaking up a space and injecting a little bit of interest to a scheme. Our Mosaic collection is packed with a variety of colours, textures and materials, from real shell to glittering glass and natural stone. Here's more on Mosaics:
- Mosaics are made up of different shapes, from circles and squares to hexagons, ovals and linear shapes

When selecting your tiles, the most important factor is seeing them in real life, which is why we always recommend getting a sample tile. Just like you'd paint a swatch on the wall, hold the tile up against the area you will be installing it and consider how it looks in the light, throughout the day.
If you think you're ready to order a sample, you can do so by calling 01392 473000, a member of our team will be happy discuss your project and send you your samples so you can get started!
