Laying Patterns:
Different laying patterns can make a project really stand out. Why not consider the following in stead of a traditional brick bond:

Project Examples:
Usage of tile bricks in different applications can be found on our case study page.
Olde Bayswater Blend – a very popular choice for many projects – residential and commercial alike.
Check out this kitchen – using the classic Olde Bayswater blend to refurb a kitchen and transform it into a modern living area.
Amplified by the light streaming in from the lantern roof and the bi-fold doors. The tile bricks are popping with the bright mortar and cleverly designed strip lighting, giving it a real modern twist.
London Weathered Yellow – another classic, full of light and dark shades. A coffee shop in Dubai used the tile bricks to create a warm and cosy atmosphere in their eatery.
Both projects show how to accessorise the walls, using both lighting and shelving to enhance the feature.
