Tile Samples

There's so many things to take into consideration when choosing tiles for your home, how the light affects the colour, the design working with other pieces in your room, whether you should tile walls & floors, and if you like the feel of the tile surface under your feet. That's why we offer Tile Samples, allowing you to purchase a sample of the tile you like to be able to see how it looks in your home before committing.

How will ordering a tile sample help me judge the colour in my room?

A sample lets you see the tile in your room under real light, which is crucial because natural and artificial light change how colours read. a Sage ceramic tile may look vivid by a south‑facing window but more muted in a north‑facing bathroom. Place the sample next to your paint, worktop or vanity at different times of day to check undertones and reflections. That simple test prevents surprises when you buy full tiles.

I'm unsure whether to use ceramic or porcelain tiles, how can samples guide that choice?

Samples let you compare the look and finish while keeping in mind material differences: porcelain samples such as the Ardsley Light Grey Polished Porcelain show the denser, more durable surface that suits floors as well as walls, while ceramic options like the Amiata Metro range are ideal for walls. Vitrified ceramic, shown in the Seurat Grey Patterned sample, sits between the two with added durability and decorative appeal. Order both types to see the finish and feel for your intended use before committing.

Some tiles are polished, gloss or "sparkle", how do these finishes perform in a bathroom?

Polished and gloss finishes, such as Sparkle White Porcelain or Flare White Gloss Ceramic, reflect light strongly and create a bright, modern look, which is great for small en suites or shower walls. They also show water spots and fingerprints more easily than matt finishes, so you should expect a little more wiping. If you want sparkle or high sheen for a vanity splashback, try a sample to confirm the effect under your bathroom lighting.

Do sample prices reflect the complexity of the full tile, and should that influence which samples I order?

Yes, sample prices vary here from modest amounts like the current product price up to higher figures such as the current product price for speciality finishes, and the pricier samples often represent more complex or bespoke tiles. bespoke Sage Green or patterned vitrified ceramic samples are slightly higher, which signals unique glazes or production processes. If you are weighing a statement tile or a speciality finish, spending a little more on that sample is worth it to avoid costly mistakes.

How can I use samples to check whether a tile will work alongside my existing fixtures and flooring?

Hold the sample next to your existing surfaces to compare colour, tone and scale; contrast a Bone White Metro ceramic with an oak vanity to see if warm or cool undertones conflict. Also place samples on the floor and on the wall near each other to judge pairing, a Lamos Cream Porcelain floor tile may sit nicely with a lighter wall tile. Using multiple samples together helps you evaluate harmony before you buy full quantities.
