International Interest in Custom Tiles & Murals

Wow - the Internet helps spread the word fast!

Relatively few people are aware of the many decorating options in tile which have become available with special printing and glazing technologies. Even interior decorators, interior designers, and architects are several years behind the technology edge in specialized imaging on tile.

Due to current workloads and the busy-ness of handling ongoing projects, it is difficult for professionals to keep up with recent developments. Although the specialized printing technology used by custom-tiles.com is over ten years old, the last five years have yielded advances in several areas which have become of interest in our global economy.

Additional tile types, for example, tumbled marble and glass, have been added to the selection of options for custom printed tile murals. Further improvements in the clear protective glaze as well as its curing mechanism renders the custom imaged tiles suitable for use in rigorously cleaned environments, such as bathrooms, kitchens, showers, and saunas. Details on the tiles' chemical and stain resistance are available at http://www.custom-tiles.com/durability-tests-tile.htm .

The increase in the availability of the Internet overseas has led to a proliferation of online searches from foreign shores. Think of the ease of online search compared to the difficulty of obtaining up to date information from libraries, magazines, and textbooks in foreign countries.

We are seeing a much greater number of contacts from distant English-speaking countries. Frankly, we are not aware of foreign suppliers of custom printed tiles except for the old CLC process which has limited color fidelity and hue strength. Perhaps our technology will also spread and foreign competition will increase.
