Tile Sizes

As you’ll probably be incorporating our tiles as features alongside plainer tiles (perhaps ceramic or natural stone), we offer a range of ‘standard’ sizes, which have been designed to fit with most other tiles.

However, as all our tiles are handmade to order we can offer a fully made-to-measure service – so if your desired size isn’t mentioned here just let us know your required measurements. Our smallest tile is 5cm x 5cm, and our biggest is 1m x 1.5m! Any size in between is possible.

The size format of the tile will obviously affect the look of the design, so here are some examples from each of our collections to show how the design is applied to the most popular sizes. All dimensions are shown in centimetres at 1:5 scale.

Stripe (using Neopolitan as the example):
Stripes can be applied horizontally or vertically, stretched or repeated across the tile - your choice.
5x5
10x10
15x15
20x20
             
 
2.5x20
5x20
10x30
Spiral (using Cobalt as the example):
The spiral shape does not lend itself to the border tile format, but on request we can produce co-ordinating border tiles utilising any of the colours from the Spiral designs.
5x5
10x10
15x15
20x20
Lazio (using Rieti as the example):

The position of the coloured pieces is deliberately at random, and each tile will therefore look slightly different.

5x5
10x10
15x15
2.5x20
 
Customers should please specify if particular positioning is desired. Usually one coloured piece will be used in a 5x5 tile, and thereafter the larger the tile the more pieces used. Co-ordinating Lazio borders can be produced by applying the particular colour all over the tile (as in the 2.5x20 example shown).
Colonsay and Earth (using Red Granite as the example):

The pattern is continued over the tile, whatever the size format.

5x5
10x10
15x15
5x20

Important points to note:
Our tiles are made and finished entirely by hand and therefore all sizes given are approximate to within a mm or two; this does not usually present a problem as any slight irregularity can be compensated for with the tile grout. We consider this to be part of the charm of a handmade product, but if we are told at the time of ordering that precise sizes are important we will take this into account.



Kiwi tile which has a flat surface

   

The depth, or thickness, of each tile depends on the particular design. For example, most of the Colonsay, Lazio, and some of the Spiral designs have an undulating surface, and the depth therefore varies – typically 9mm at its thinnest point and up to 14mm at its thickest. The Stripe designs and most of the Earth designs have a flat surface and therefore a uniform depth of about 9mm.
