Bespoke Shaped Ceramic Tiles

Custom tile shapes

Beyond our standard range of geometric pre moulded tiles, London Mosaic offer a bespoke cutting service in order to create required shapes. These may be required for a restoration, a reproduction design that features an unusual shape or a more contemporary design. We employ traditional and modern cutting techniques in order to create such custom shapes.

Tiles for restoration

When missing tiles are required for an original floor, it is important to note that most are based on imperial measurements and therefore will require replacements to be hand cut in order that they will fit within the existing scheme. Such tiles are generally cut from modern matching colours from within our standard range of 31 colours or other shades available in our heritage quality range.

Unusual shapes

Our standard range consists predominately of squares, triangles, rectangles and other basic polygons all of which are commonly used within tessellating geometric floor schemes. Within some period mosaics an array of less common shapes can be discovered and today can only be reproduced by bespoke cutting. Such shapes can be sized and cut in order to be compatible with our standard range. Should more elaborate shapes be required featuring curves, such as letters or numbers, then water jet cutting is employed to achieve a crisp clean finish.
