Welcome to the exciting world of custom tiles. The following is a short tutorial to get you accustomed to the world of tile decorating and help you simplify the process of ordering and designing your own unique gifts and art pieces.
General Info
Creating tile products is fun and exciting. Results can vary due to the various tile used and the quality and content of your image. Because of these variables, colors and clarity can be affected. We like to look at the process as creating lasting memories and a unique art piece rather than exactly reproducing your image to match your original. If color and clarity match is a priority for your project, we recommend starting with a proof tile before final production. This can add slightly to the cost of the project, but will help refine the final product to your desired preference.
Generally speaking, ceramic tiles are used for best color and clarity reproduction. Stone tiles are used for creating a more natural look and feel. They add a new dimension to the piece and give it a more artistic look, but color and clarity will be affected.
If you are unsure of which medium to use and would like some design input, we recommend you e-mail your image and a brief description of the project you have in mind and we will consult with you and make our recommendations.
