Water-jet Cutting
Bespoke shapes or sizes can be created using the latest water jet cutting technology. A focussed beam of water is fired at extremely high pressure to create a cutting medium which easily and accurately cuts most ceramic tiles (even 20mm thick paviour tiles).
We have delivered many successful projects using this technique, and our service enables the designer to create bespoke tile shapes easily and accurately.
Colour-matching
Getting colour, and getting the colour, are two very different things in ceramics.
Our team of glaze experts have considerable knowledge and experience in delivering to specific colour requirements.
With a long history in delivering THE colour required, we have the skills to achieve it, enhance it, and control it in different glaze base chemistries.
