A splash of colour

blog_admin — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 16:21:00 +0100

	Over the last couple of years the tendency from kitchen designers and kitchen manufacturers was to go with a minimalist approach. This had the effect of damping down the colours within the kitchen. However, recently more vibrant colours have come back into fashion as designers and customers are wanting a more inspiring place to cook and socialise.
With Royce Wood handmade tiles you can create this space very easily with a vibrant artistic splash. This can be done by creating splash backs and colourful borders to lift the more bland colours within modern kitchens. We are certainly seeing a lot of interest in this area with people wanting to lift their spirits with a splash of colour.

Create an interesting kitchen design which will inspire you for many years to come

blog_admin — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 16:02:00 +0100

One idea that a number of customers have adopted is to create a border above the worktop surface of around 3-4 tiles high. This has two benefits the first is to create a pleasing border that creates a point of interest and secondly practically protects your walls from everyday kitchen spills. With Royce Woods tile planner you can mix and match your tiles to get the effect you want. Very often though a single tile like in photograph opposite will create a very pleasing effect as all Royce Wood handmade tiles are all slightly different.

Recommended grouts

blog_admin — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 14:54:00 +0100

Royce Wood recommend good quality grouts that contain the Microban product which provides continuous antibacterial and antifungal protection. This helps stop mildew and other mould buildup and so keeps your grout and tiles in top condition. Examples of good quality grouts come from companies such as BAL and Mapei.

A good quality grout will not only come in many different colours to complement your Royce Wood tiles it will also give a superior smooth finish that is consistent in colour.

Always check with you tile installer as to what grout they are going to use. A little bit more spent on the right products can make a huge difference in the look and maintenance of the product in the future. I

Glaze Production Note

blog_admin — Tue, 02 May 2006 11:44:00 +0100

Royce Wood Limited glazes are hand applied and variations in colour and texture can occur. These suble nuances help create the character and charm of the tiles. Although individual tiles convey the general colour, slight variations in tone between tiles may exist.

An additional benefit of the tiles is that all four edges are glazed and so eliminates the need for tile trims. Royce Wood takes pride in producing the finest quality handmade tiles. If any tile is found to have a serious defect the studio will be pleased to provide a replacement.
