We can supply many kinds of trim for wall tile. These include bullnose, radius bullnose, mudcap, liner, cove base, quarter round, and more.
For unusual trim designs, we can copy existing trim pieces (such as mudcaps, bullnose, sanitary base, etc.). A custom die may be required, at additional cost.
Field tile can be produced in handmade tile in any size up to 12" in length or width, in square, rectangular, or other shapes.
Dimensional tile can be replicated from a model or made to order.
Cost: all tile needs to be quoted. Prices start at $35 per square foot for flat square or rectangular tile; more for other shapes. Trim pieces will be quoted per piece and will be a higher cost per square foot than flat tile.
Glaze:
Not only do we have hundreds of glaze colors in our "library," but custom glazes can be made to achieve a target color or to match existing glazes or other design elements.
Cost: some custom colors can be created at no charge, while there is a charge to match to an existing glaze or color. Producing the custom glazed tile will usually be at the same price as other tile.
Assembly:
We assemble mosaic tile into approximate square foot sheets. Small handmade tile can also be assembled if requested, at charge.
Recessed design tiles can be custom-designed readily.
High-relief custom tiles can be custom-designed. Historic or other existing tiles can be reproduced. Molds must be created for these, so the timeframe required includes at least 3 weeks to prepare for production.
Mosaic designs for backsplashes, exterior spaces, floors, etc. can be custom designed and custom sized for each application. These will be shipped with face-mounted film or back-mounted mesh if needed for ease of installation.
Cost: Glazed ceramic mosaic prices vary widely based upon complexity, size of pieces, and materials used. Using a client's design is at no cost. Extended design cycles may require a fee.
Tile sizes:
Tiles can be made to your preference: there are no "standard" sizes to limit you. Squares, rectangles, even circles, triangles, hexagons, and octagons are available. Sizes may be in even inches, even centimeters, or fractions (such as 5-3/8").
Tile sizes for flat (field) or relief tiles are limited to 12" across in any direction.
Tile thickness can be modified if needed. An upcharge may apply for thick tiles.
Please note that handmade tile sizes cannot be controlled perfectly and variation and slightly uneven edges are to be expected. Wider grout lines (than for machine-made tile) to accommodate these features are needed.
Cost: square and rectangle shapes from 2" to 12" in width or length are the same price per square foot. Other shapes will be more per square foot.
Special tiles:
Fountain emitters can be made to order from flat tile, recessed tile, or high-relief tile.
House or building number tiles can be designed and produced to order.
Sun and sunray designs for inside or out can be designed to order.
Fused glass elements can be added, such as sun rays.
Tiles can be slumped slightly to form curved surfaces.
Tiles can be created from 3-D printed masters or molds. Note that finished products will be 7% to 15% smaller than any master or mold due to clay shrinkage in drying and firing.
