Tile sourcing advice?

dd dd

última modificación:hace 3 años

Hi, we're looking to find a version of this tile to go into a fireplace alcove (behind a wood stove) and on another fireplace hearth that's smaller and porcelain, which is what was recommended. The encaustic ones are heavy and prone to staining, and the only one I can find in porcelain is 33 x 33. Looking for 20 x 20 or even smaller 16x16. Any advice on this or something similar? Picture below of the only one we can find, and the look we're after.

    If those are the right ones, we can all do a happy dance :-)

      Thanks Carolina. We've looked at that one, but it is very grey. Would look lovely if we had a French chateau or a Spanish villa! If only....:)

      I know this is different, but same colours and similar vibe. 20 by 20

      Thanks Victoria. Similar to another one we were going with (link below). I actually printed that one out in paper and had it mocked up and after 2 weeks found it too much, so think the smaller circle design is still graphic, but a bit softer. London funk Compass tile

      Hold on! How about this one? https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/caroline-geo-wall-and-floor-tiles-200-x-200mm?FT=5898,5144&pgno=1

      I was looking for similar tiles last year for a project and sure I came across that design in 20x20. Sorry but I can’t remember what on earth they were called tho or from which site.
      Quick google and came across these:

      Yes those are the bigger 33 cm ones. @Victoria, getting closer, but those are white on black, we want black on white :)

      @rachelmidlands, thanks! Think the design will be too wee

      Ah..... I found them! 25x25 cm, so bit bigger than I remember but it was definitely these.

      Thanks Rachel! I'm still holding out for 20cm or smaller, as its for a fireplace alcove and I want to be able to see the tile grid, but these may be an option.

      Did you see the link I posted? Those are the tiles you are looking for in 20x20 cm, but in a reverse colourway. I'll post it again https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/caroline-geo-wall-and-floor-tiles-200-x-200mm?FT=5898,5144&pgno=1

      Thanks Carolina. Yes, saw those. Didn't want this colour-way. Surprisingly, we found a tile we want, below (at World of Tiles in Battersea, London), but it was only done as part of a mixed set, so you couldn't just order that design! (we would have been happy with the teal tile on the right). They also only did it as white on teal, not teal on white.

      Will you order the mixed set and sell the spares on?

      Right size but wrong colour?

      @Victoria, no we would have to order way too much, and there is still no guarantee we would have enough of the specific tile we want; @Sonia, ya we're pretty keen on the black and white ones. Thanks though!

      Okay, so... just to give you alternative ideas, they do tiles in every colour you like and maybe there's a graphic design to your taste: https://www.pophamdesign.com/tiles


      Oh poo, just realised they are not porcelain (I think)

      Ooo, this might be it, but you need to find a stockist near you. 15x15 cm https://www.vitra.co.uk/tiles/15x15-retromix-tile-black-white-matt-sku-K94845200001VTE0/

      Thank you! Yes they are.... and I do love the encaustic cement tiles, but even though they say they're safe near heat, others have said they stain easily, and can be more fragile than porcelain. They're also very very thick. I'll look for a Vitra supplier now.

      Doing a happy dance as we speak! Hope you can find a supplier

      YAY! Houzz, and more importantly, @Carolina to the rescue again 😊

      @d_omongain, thank you! We actually saw those tiles but the colourway was wrong. The two versions of the tile we liked -- black on white and turquoise on white weren't available individually -- you had to buy either of these as a mixed set. If you work with this company, please encourage them to print different colourways! The quality seemed fantastic.
