How can I order a sample?
We can send samples worldwide from our UK showrooms using Royal Mail’s Global Priority service. Please contact us with the desired samples and the desired destination, and we will calculate the cost of sending the samples.
How long does delivery take?
The tiles are handmade to order and we ship direct from our supplier. The more economical shipping option is via sea freight to your closest sea port, and you would need your own freight forwarder for customs clearance and the last leg of delivery. Lead times are roughly 10-12 weeks. If you would like a sea freight quote please contact us with the desired samples and the desired destination, and we will request a shipping quote.
