Candy Tile introduce a new size of field tile
The Candy Tile Company have introduced a new size of field tile that is the largest size they have produced.
When used with the existing Mosaic strip, the overall look is both contemporary and eye-catching.
Discs A simple yet stunning design in gloss white with a pattern of discs in lustre which, when reflected in the light, give a shimmering, textured effect.
A Silver Glass strip offers the perfect complement to the design giving an overall finish that is clean, fresh and cutting-edge.
The Column and Disc field tiles are available in size 198x248mm and retail from £17.99 per sqm.
The strips are available in size 248x29mm and retail at £18.99 for a pack of four Mosaic and £17.99 for a pack of four Silver Glass.
The two new additions will be available exclusively from Homebase stores in the UK.
Commenting on the new additions, Wayne Hemingway said: "Our philosophy is to open up the world of design to everybody, not to make it accessible to only the chosen few.
Gerardine and I wanted to develop a range of tiles that challenged the traditional and introduced a unique style that opened up a world of possibilities in the application of wall tiles.
"The whole range has been fashioned to allow the consumers to take part in the design process.
Gerardine and I haven't any formal design training and there are thousands out there who, given tools like the Wet range, can be creative".
The two new additions join the existing range of six designs: Scribble; Toothbrush; Hemp; Ringo; Flowers and Shells, created for people with a sense of adventure.
The large scale tiles lend themselves for use in almost any room of the house.
The designs are very versatile and can be used in panels and bands with stronger tiles used for effect in combination with white versions.
You can also play with the look by changing the direction that the tiles are fixed on the wall by using them landscape or portrait and offsetting them to create different effects.
So, go on and make your home your own and have fun doing it.
