Two tiles needed

Post by Mooncat »

Design: L.Opera by Azteca Ceramica of Spain. I need 2 to complete the border. They are 200mm wide by 70mm high. Does anybody have any?

I would contact the company in Spain and ask for a list of stockists before ringing round and getting them to mail any they have right to you. Worked for me with a few similar things in the past.

I have contacted the makers, they have none there, gave me two addresses to try, one untraceable, the other never had the borders but did supply me with tiles I was short of (by two M2) The two missing ones will be behind the mirror, I realised in time that I'd be short, but it looks bad to me.

Today I learned that this border tile was sold only by Tiles r Us in the UK. So it looks as if I'll be filling in the gap with field tiles, making it look as if I planned it to save money!:cb Only individuals who bought the tiles for themselves are likely to have any they don't want.

Sadly, I have received an email to say they have never stocked the tile I want, but they have a new name and address:

Dominion Mosaics and Tile Co Ltd
8 Bull Lane
Edmonton
London
N18 1TQ
London

Tel: 020 8344 7070
Fax: 020 8344 7071

It seems that they had to move because of the Olympics redevelopment, and a lot of the old stock has been destroyed :sad:
