Tile ordered for export off-island or tile that are to be stored must be sealed before shipment or storage. (Our price is $1.25/sqft for exterior tile, $1.00/sqft for interior tile.) Please inquire for the best treatment for your tile. Brick products can be shipped unsealed.
The 8” tile are reproductions of tile found in California at the turn of the last century (Mission tile), and used throughout the islands in the form of machine made concrete tile from about the 1940’s. These are flat-sided tile and are meant to be fitted together with a very small grout line, about 1/8”.
The 1/2” thick wall tile may be used to solve elevation problems on a good, reinforced concrete slab. This thickness cannot span any cracks, which would ‘telegraph’ through and also crack the grout. We recommend installation by professional tile setters.
The 2” thick tile can be laid on a dry mix of sand and cement, either inside a building or as an exterior patio or walkway. The bed must contain at least 20% cement and should be a minimum of 1” thick on top of a well packed base.
Driveway treatments are also available, please inquire.
These products are available in a smooth, satin finish, a fine textured stone finish, a cut coral type finish, or a travertine texture. All can be colored to match or complement paint, stone, or counter top materials. Samples made available upon request.
You can see our products in issues of “Architectural Digest,” (January 1997) “House and Garden,” (December 1971), and “Antiques,” (March 2000).
