Product Overview

Custom Hand Painted Ceramic Tiles

This is the custom route: you send a digital version of the artwork, we redraw it as an outline design, mix the glaze colours to match and make a sample before anything goes into production.

The pieces shown here were developed for European customers and carry a strong European decorative style, with the relief effect raised by hand and hooks fitted on the back for easy installation.

Answers

Custom Hand Painted Ceramic Tiles FAQ

What file should we send for a custom design?
A clear digital version of the artwork with the finished size you want. We design and make the sample from that file.
Do you keep our design confidential?
Yes. We support exclusive design work and keep the customer copyright confidential.
How long does a custom sample take?
Sample delivery is normally 15 days. Production time then depends on order quantity.
Is there a minimum quantity for custom work?
For artwork and architectural decoration projects we accept work without a quantity requirement.
Can you copy a photograph onto tile?
We redraw the image as an outline and glaze design rather than print it, so photographic detail is interpreted by hand.
