TileClick are introducing a new sample ordering service in the next few weeks.
We have received quite a bit of feedback in a recent survey that has made it ckear that whilst people like the full tiles we send on some products, that they tend not to ever use them so end up throwing them out, or they get broken, but that in a sample, most of the time they were just expecting a cut piece so they could feel the tile, see the colour better and judge the surface.
When choosing bathroom tiles it is important to make sure you consider the appearance of the tiles.
All ceramic tiles will be glazed, this is a technical part of the tile that protects the biscuit (ceramic) part of the tile from water. Once the tile is printed it is then put through the glazing process.
Gloss and Satin are the most common types of glaze used. Gloss is a more traditional finish, providing a shiny, reflective and fresh look to the tiles, with many white tiles, tiles that are glazed with a gloss finish are whiter than than a satin verison of the same tile.
We will soon be able to add more superb and carefully selected products to our website.
We have had 8 new ceramic floor tiles delivered to our stores today, increasing the selection in store and they started selling straight away.
Introducing dark and light grey, beige and brown in a rustic satin finish and also in a flat polished / gloss finish. These tiles will give great complementing colour schemes to go with many of our wall tiles including the Laura Ashley ranges that have had the floor tiles discontinued by the manufacturer.
January Price Increases.
For the last seven years, TileClick have always provided our customers with good quality products at the best prices we can on our tiles and accessories.
We appreciate the current economic climate, but unfortunately all of our suppliers are implementing forced increases in January. The increasing cost of oil, gas, petrol etc are all the reasons that manufacturers and hauliers are being forced to cover their costs and unfortunately our keen pricing policy means we have to increase our costs proportionately.
At this moment in time we are not fully aware of the increases, but we will aim to keep them to a minimum.
Increased emission zone areas around London will also mean that certain London and surrounding areas may need to pay a surcharge as we are unable to absorb these increases.
These increases will only take effect from January 1st 2012 so please order as soon as possible to avoid these increases as we will not be able to honour 2011 prices once the increases have been implemented.
Using ceramic wall tiles in your bathroom is not only one of the most practical, but can be one of the most cost effective ways to finish your bathroom or kitchen.
Ceramic tiles provide not only a durable and stylish finish but an easy to clean an hygienic one.
All ceramic tiles are glazed with either a matt, satin or gloss finish glaze. This glaze is applied to a printed pattern that gives the look of tile and this is printed onto the body or ‘biscuit’ of the tile – this is the ceramic part!
Whilst there is a definite growth in sales of floor tiles in the UK, sales of bathroom tiles are still strong with new designs and styles that modern technology permits, today’s stone effect bathroom tiles are almost better than the real thing.
Our two newest and most stunning tiles are the Quebec and Ashdown tiles in the Heritage collection.
Months of looking through samples, visiting factories and importers has paid off as our new collection of floor tiles starts to arrive.
As well as a traditional honed and filled travertine, 60×40 tile we have a stunning porcelain bodied travertine effect tile. Available in 3 shades, beige, ivory and brown, the Ashdown tile also has the benefit of rectified edges allowing the tiles to be fitted close or butted together.
The Quebec square tile has an authentic natural stone look on a porcelain body tile with a good element of slip resistance. These tiles are being added to the website and also duplicated into a number of other ranges that customers in our stores are combining together.
Manufacturer British Ceramic Tile are introducing a new set of range names. The products and the product codes will still be the same, but in the event you have ordered samples of say ‘buxton’ and cant find it, if you use the product code from your sample receipts in the search facility, or use the ‘old to new’ list below.
We hope this transition doesn’t cause any confusion and you have any queries please feel free to call our free phone number 0800 849 2120 for further clarification.

Tile manufacturer British Ceramic Tile are in the process of introducing new trading names for internet companies selling their products.
The products are all exactly the same apart from the names, as an example Buxton is becoming Rock and Vivaldi are Vermont. The product codes are still staying the same so that the correct products are sent out to you, however when the tiles arrive with you they will still have the original labels on them with the orginal name so as an example if you order Rock Light Beige, the label on the box will say Buxton Light beige, but the product code of CAN42940 will be the same on the box.
