Dare to
differ
Looking for something
innovative? Tile Trends
sources tiles that will
introduce the wow factor
Tiles have been around for centuries,
but the most remarkable innovations are
only now being seen, thanks to new digital
technology manufacturing processes.
Tile Trends brings the best of old and
new to its showrooms throughout the
country. But it is the collections of oneof-a-kind tiles that are especially exciting,
says director Graeme Clearwater.
“Many of our clients are looking for
something that will create a real point of
difference in their home,” he says. “They
love the idea of discovering something
new or exotic that they can work into their
interior design. We can supply everything
from traditional Victorian tessellated tiles
to ultra-modern minimalist looks.”
Examples of the special collections
include
Turkish-inspired
Alhambra
tiles, and tiles featuring images created
with digital processing. These include
decorative designs for accent walls and
timber-look tile planks for floors.
“We have samples of all these tiles in
our showrooms, and will import these to
order,” says Clearwater. “But we also keep
huge stocks on hand of the more conventional lines that make up 90% of sales.”
Tile Trends designers can help you
with your choice, bringing samples to
your home to match other furnishings.
The company has tile showrooms in
Auckland, Tauranga, Palmerston North,
Paraparaumu, Petone and Wellington.
