Handcrafted Tile and Architectural Details

I can help you turn architecture into something with WOW...all through the use of custom, handmade tiles, ceramic details, sculpture, and through application ideas that are customized to your building.  I specialize in products for the exterior of buildings with frost-proof / water resistant qualities for lasting beauty. I work with architects, home builders, commercial builders, and homeowners - new construction or post-construction.  I design tiles, ceramic decorations, sculpture, architectural embellishments, and also create site-specific installation ideas. Glazed tiles have always had the advantage of being both durable and beautiful.  Used on walls to repel water, reduce soot collection, or substitute for stone, ceramic tile can be created in an almost infinite number of colors and patterns, either flat or relief, used singly or in fields of design.

Today's new homes and commercial buildings provide the perfect canvas for tile and ceramic embellishment.  Do you wish your home or building had more than the usual assortment of brackets, foam trim, faux shutters and the occasional piece of pre-cast concrete?  Does your building have a large blank wall, contrasting with an otherwise attractive facade?  Do you have a specific color or design that you would like to see as part of your building design, outside and in?

The tile and ceramic details that I design and manufacture are especially suited to the needs of the builder and homeowner:

• Tiles and exterior ceramic details are high-fired to a vitreous state:  they are frost proof and suitable for exterior walls, water features, pools, outdoor kitchens, etc.  (Many decorative wall tiles are not water and frost proof!)
• You will not need to order tiles from a distant source and wait weeks and months for delivery.  I am located in Central Florida and have a strong focus on short delivery times and reliability.
• You will find a much greater range of colors and designs, in different sizes, than the typical showroom.
• You can specify what you want if I don't have it as a current offering.  I'll tell you if I can do what you wish and get you a prototype in one to three weeks.
• You can have a tile or installation design unique to your home or building.
• I will make a personal visit to your (Florida) site and work with you on an overall design.
