Rectangular screen-printed wall tiles

What they are
A handmade ceramic wall tile, about 30 × 10 cm, screen-printed by hand with our designs in any of our colours. It brings the freedom of our screen-printed tiles to the long, classic shape of a subway tile.

Why designers use them
– Any colour: choose from 32 core colours, or commission a new one. For projects above 20 m² / 200 sq ft, we can match a paint, fabric or brand colour.
– Many ways to lay: horizontal, vertical, stacked, half-drop or one-third drop.
– Any pattern: mix designs and colours on a single wall, or keep to one for a calmer look.
– Gloss or matt: both base glazes, white and cream, come in either finish.
– A layout drawn for you: we design every installation by hand, so you see the pattern before anything is made.
– One scheme throughout: the same colours and glazes as our square tiles, so a single scheme can run across both.

Size
About 30 × 10 cm / 12 × 4 inches. As with all handmade tiles, length and width can vary by up to 2%.
Thickness: 1.2 cm / ½ inch.
33 tiles per m2 / 3.06 tiles per sq. ft.

Glaze
Gloss base glaze: white PPWM or cream PPM6.
Matt base glaze: white PWMM or cream PM6M.
Minimum 3 m² / 33 sq ft (99 tiles) per base glaze.

Screen-printed colours and designs
A core collection of 32 colours is available and new colours can be commissioned.
Colours are screen-printed by hand with a liquid pigment. They have a soft, almost watercolour look.
A variety of screen-printed colours and designs can be included within a single tile installation.
Tiles can be single screen-printed or double screen-printed. Where two screen-prints overlap, we make a best guess at the resulting colour.

Laying
The long format draws the eye along a wall. Lay the tiles horizontally, like a classic subway tile, or vertically to add height to a room. The tiles can be arranged with a half-drop, one-third drop or no drop. We design the layout for every project, so you can see the pattern before anything is made.

Characteristics
Handmade tiles have characteristic differences to mass-produced tiles.
– the surface is less regular and more uneven.
– the sides of the tiles are less perfect and may be a little jagged in places.
– the corners may not be perfect.
Grout combines all these imperfections into one installation which has the look and feel of handmade tiles.

Options
If a more regular looking tile is preferred, we can press the tile before screen-printing. Pressing creates a tile which is still distinctly handmade but is flatter and more regular. An extra charge is applied for tiles that are pressed and screen-printed.
Edge pieces including bullnose can be created for all our tiles
