The United Kingdom is a renovation market with taste: Victorian terraces getting encaustic-look hallways and metro-tiled kitchens, new-build estates with contemporary bathrooms, and pubs, restaurants and cafes that lean on pattern and texture. Tile retailers, online sellers and independent showrooms source much of it from India and Spain.
Axoli Tiles supplies UK importers, retailers and distributors from Morbi, twenty-two to twenty-eight days by sea to Felixstowe, Southampton or London Gateway, with a declaration of performance to BS EN 14411 for every size ordered and samples couriered first.
Designs that suit the UK
Encaustic and Moroccan patterns for hallways, bathrooms and kitchen splashbacks; terracotta, brick and sage herringbone designs for kitchens and cafes; picket and hexagon patterns for bathrooms; marble looks for bathrooms and living rooms; and stone looks for fireplaces and garden rooms. All glazed ceramic for interior walls in a damp climate.
