Tile and tiling supplies racked by pallet in the Inspiring Tiles warehouse

A tile is only ever as good as what is underneath it, so we sell both.

What we stock

The most common reason a tiled floor fails is not the tile. It is the wrong adhesive, a substrate that was never primed, or grout that was never going to cope with the movement in that floor. So we specify the whole build-up rather than just selling you the top layer.

That means adhesive matched to the substrate and the tile format, grout in the colour and width you actually need, primers, tanking and waterproofing for wet areas, decoupling membranes where a floor moves, levelling clips for large format, spacers, trims and profiles, and sealers for stone and quarry.

Tell us the tile, the room and what is under it, and we will write the list. Buying it all together is the simplest way to avoid the mid-job trip for one missing tub.

Adhesive matched to the build-up

Specified against the substrate and the tile format, because the wrong one is the most common reason a floor fails.

Waterproofing for wet areas

Tanking, primers and decoupling membranes for showers and for floors that move.

The whole list in one go

Tell us the tile, the room and what is under it, and we will write out everything the job needs.

How ordering works

Four stages, from working out what the room actually needs to the pallet arriving at your door.

STEP 01

Research

We start with the room itself: the traffic it takes, the light it gets, and whether the tile is going underfoot or on the wall.

STEP 02

Idea & Concept

We shortlist collections that suit the space and show you the formats they come in, from 600x600 up to 1200x600.

STEP 03

Design & Production

We set out the layout, work through the cuts, and confirm quantities so you order the right amount with a sensible allowance.

STEP 04

Sales & Service

Your order is picked, checked and delivered, with the adhesives, grouts and trims to match it.

Why buy your tile here

Trade rates on volume, the adhesives and trims to match the tile, and stock checked for shade and calibre before it leaves the warehouse.

Wholesale Pricing

Large projects are quoted through our wholesale programme, with rates that reflect the volume you are buying.

Everything In One Place

Adhesives, grouts, trims and spacers sit alongside the tile, so the whole job is specified together.

Delivered To Site

Orders are picked, wrapped and moved from our warehouse to your door or your site.

Question? Answered

What we stock, how much to order, and what goes underneath it.

What kinds of tile do you stock?

We carry four ranges: floor tile, wall tile, quarry tile and mosaic. Within those you will find everything from large-format polished porcelain at 1200x600 through to small mosaic sheets, in marble, stone, terrazzo, concrete and wood effects. If you are working to a particular look rather than a particular product, tell us the room and we will pull the options that fit.

Do you sell the adhesives and trims as well as the tile?

Yes. Our supplies range sits alongside the tile so the whole job gets specified in one go: adhesive matched to the substrate and tile format, grout in the colour you want, plus trims, spacers, levelling clips and sealers. Buying it together is the simplest way to avoid the usual mid-job trip for one missing tub.

How much tile should I order?

Measure the area, then add an allowance for cuts and breakages. Ten percent is the usual figure, and it is worth going to fifteen for diagonal layouts, herringbone, or rooms with a lot of obstacles. Tell us the room dimensions and the layout you have in mind and we will work the quantity out with you, because ordering short from a different batch rarely matches.

Do you deliver?

We do. Orders are picked and wrapped at our warehouse and delivered to your address or straight to site. Tile is heavy and awkward, so let us know at the point of ordering if access is tight, if there is no forklift at the other end, or if the pallet needs to go anywhere other than the kerb.

Do you offer trade or wholesale pricing?

Yes, through our wholesale purchasing programme. It is aimed at larger projects and at trade buyers ordering in volume, and pricing reflects the quantity involved. Get in touch with the dealership line or send us the project details and we will put a quote together.

Can I see the tile before I buy it?

Come to the showroom at 212 7th St SE, Washington, DC. We are open Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Seeing a tile at full size, in daylight, next to your worktop or cabinet sample tells you far more than a photograph, particularly with marble and stone effects where the veining varies from piece to piece.
