Designed for extended use, digital tiles are a smart choice for a wide range of interior and exterior projects. Combining high-quality hardwearing products with cutting-edge printing, digital tiles are a flexible option for use on floors, walls and in exterior and interior environments.
What are digital tiles?
Sometimes referred to as digital ceramics, digital tiles are either porcelain or ceramic and are decorated with high-resolution digital printing technology. The process enables the creation of bespoke, intricate designs with greater levels of detail and vibrancy. Custom printed images are applied to the tile and then fired in a kiln. This results in durable, permanent, scratch-resistant designs fused into the glaze of the tile.
Traditional vs digital printing
Digital tile printing surpasses traditional screen printing. It can produce more personalised photo-realistic, high-definition designs at any volume required. It is also faster, and offers reduced waste and enhanced design flexibility in comparison to traditional techniques.
Applications of digital tiles
Both residential and commercial applications can take advantage of digital tiles. In a domestic setting, they can be colour matched to meet décor plans for wet rooms, kitchens and bathrooms, while in commercial projects they feature on walls in bars and restaurants as decorative murals, add appeal to civic underpasses and brand up offices and hotel foyers. Digital tiles meet exacting safety standards and can be designed with different anti-slip ratings to answer specific requirements.
Digital tile benefits
Offering crystal clear high resolution, digital tiles ensure designs always impress. Offering a wide array of customisation, designers can select tiles in a multitude of styles, sizes, shapes and materials. Colour-matched glazes ensure tiles perfectly reflect the pantone or RAL colour reference required. Once finished, kiln-fired tiles are exceptionally durable and easy to maintain. Providing they are properly cared for, digital tiles can last for a lifetime.
