pricing and shipping

Decorative ceramic tile, hand made tiles for  unlimited possibilities

Because each ceramic tile is handmade and glazed, the price for ceramic tiles vary by the type, size, time to produce, and color. You can purchase tile separately, or have us design your ceramic tile borders, kitchen backsplash, ceramic tile countertops, ceramic floor tiles, fireplace designs, or custom hand made tile.

guarantee / return policy

If any tiles are damaged during shipment, don't hesitate to contact us for replacement pieces. Just describe the tile to us over the telephone and we'll ship the replacements to you ASAP. With proper installation, your tiles should last for generations.

If a tile should become chipped by gouging the surface (a rock stuck in the sole of a shoe or dropping a heavy object on the surface), you can mix acrylic hobby paint, apply it to the tile with a small brush, let it dry, and dab a top coat of clear nail polish to hide the defect.

installation info

Always use a professional installer with experience laying this type of floor. Ask for references — anyone can lay a square glazed tile floor.

If you try to lay a custom art floor yourself, it is suggested that you use a quality mortar mix like Ultra/Flex 2. This type of mortar is strong and dries slower, allowing you time to properly set your tiles. Because custom art tiles are not all exactly the same thickness, a thick 1/4" bed of mortar should be used to set your ceramic tiles level.

floor laying service

We can provide you with a skilled installation person to set your custom art floors/countertops @ $35 per hour. This cost is in addition to travel and lodging expenses.
