design concept
This
tile / frieze collection developed with reference to Baroque
sculpture, especially the figurative detail used to adorn
the facades of 18th century buildings like the voluptuous
garlands of fruit and sculpted swags which frame portals
and windows.
Applying a contemporary twist, these motifs are indented
into a perfectly flat surface and cast in industrial concrete.
placement
outside
:
Conceived
to bring interesting surface relief to exterior walls
and to enhance a landscaping scheme, the tiles can be
applied in small areas as a focal point or, as the designs
work on a repeat basis, in continuous rows or large blocks.
inside
:
As
wall sculptures, hung as single tiles or in row
As
an alternative to stone or marble - as a fire surround
for example, or kitchen splash-back

size, materials
& colour
sizes

Very large scale friezes in all materials listed below
can be commissioned
materials
interior
Fine casting plaster is suitable for
internal application. This has a beautiful and timeless
quality
If the tiles are to be sited in a vulnerable position
then extremely hard plasters can be specified
which will withstand wear and tear
It’s also possible to specify GRG (glass
reinforced gypsum) which is a special hard plaster with
a fiberglass base. It is very durable and more lightweight
Jesmonite is a plaster look-alike material,
extremely hard and light. It is available in a huge range
of colours and can be colour matched. Installation is
as for regular fibrous plasterwork or by other straightforward
methods
exterior
A special Jesmonite is also available
for exterior application
Concrete can be specified for both interior
and exterior tiles. It is frost-proofed and water-proofed
GRC (glass reinforced concrete) which
is strong but much lighter than regular concrete.
colours
Natural grey concrete made with Portland cement
White concrete
If cast in Jesmonite colours matching
is possible
