Explore Our Recent Tile Installations

Discover a selection of recent tiling transformations completed by the Stoke Tiles installation team. From beautifully detailed bathroom renovations and feature walls to impressive large-format floors and open-plan living spaces, every project demonstrates the craftsmanship, precision and attention to detail we bring to our work.

A professional installation is about much more than simply laying tiles. Our experienced team understands the importance of correct preparation and selecting the right materials for each individual project. Different environments, substrates and tile formats require different approaches, and our knowledge helps ensure every installation is completed correctly from the outset.

From preparing floors and walls to selecting the appropriate primers, waterproofing systems, adhesives, grouts, levelling compounds, movement joints and sealing products, we consider the complete installation—not just the finished surface. Bathrooms and wet areas require a different approach to large-format floors, underfloor heating or high-traffic spaces, and our team has the practical experience to specify the appropriate installation system for each setting.

We also understand the specialist requirements of porcelain, ceramic, natural stone and large-format tiles, ensuring the installation method complements both the material and its intended use.

Combined with carefully selected quality tiles from Stoke Tiles, this technical knowledge and attention to detail allows us to create beautifully finished spaces designed to perform for years to come.

Explore some of our recent installations below and discover what can be achieved with quality tiles, expert preparation and professional craftsmanship.

Old Manor Parquet-Style Tiles

 

Our latest tiling project involved the installation of 180m² of stunning Old Manor 90 × 90cm parquet-effect tiles, creating a timeless and elegant finish throughout the property.

With underfloor heating installed across the entire area, the first stage of preparation involved laying a decoupling membrane to accommodate movement within the heated floor and help protect the tiles against cracking.

The project spanned two different floor levels, requiring careful planning and precision to ensure the intricate parquet pattern flowed seamlessly throughout the space.

Particular attention was given to maintaining the continuity of the design between both levels and down the staircase, creating a beautifully coordinated finish.

The result is a striking, continuous parquet-effect tiled floor that combines the classic character of traditional wood flooring with the durability and practicality of porcelain tiles.

Bespoke Luxury Steam Room

Designed and fully installed by our expert team, this bespoke steam room combines carefully selected materials with specialist craftsmanship to create a luxurious, spa-inspired retreat.

The benches and ceiling are finished in beautiful mother-of-pearl mosaic tiles, chosen for their natural reflective qualities and distinctive lustre. As the light moves across the surface, the mosaics create subtle variations in tone and shimmer, adding depth and a sense of luxury to the space. The same mother-of-pearl finish continues into the recessed niche, where a delicate shell-shaped mosaic adds detail while bringing the overall design together.

The walls feature elegant onyx-effect tiles, with their natural-looking movement and warm tones enhancing the calming spa atmosphere.

Underfoot, Ropalona Beige tiles have been used to create the wet-room floor. These continue seamlessly into the adjoining space, creating a sense of flow and maintaining the clean, contemporary feel throughout.

Luxury Bathroom

Our team had the pleasure of designing and fitting this exquisite luxury bathroom, creating a sophisticated space where premium materials, considered detailing and exceptional craftsmanship come together seamlessly.

The centrepiece is the striking 120 × 60cm floral wall tile, which introduces a sense of drama and refinement while creating a truly captivating statement feature. Its elegant pattern adds depth, movement and a beautifully curated finish to the room.

The illuminated niches are finished with Porcelanosa Gravity Aluminium Shell Gold tiles, measuring 24.4 × 26.4cm. Their luxurious metallic tones bring warmth and opulence to the scheme, while the integrated lighting—activated by a discreet sensor as you enter—adds a beautifully atmospheric touch and enhances the attention to detail throughout.

Every aspect of this bathroom has been carefully considered, from the sumptuous material palette to the bespoke lighting and precise installation. The result is a highly polished, indulgent interior with a truly exceptional finish—an elegant bathroom designed to feel both luxurious and timeless

A Traditional Orangery Floor with a Contemporary Finish

Taking inspiration from classic orangery and conservatory floors, a decorative border was incorporated around the perimeter of the room. Traditionally, tiled orangery floors often featured contrasting borders or grid-style layouts to frame the space and introduce architectural detail. Recreating this idea with a more contemporary approach gives the room a sense of character and individuality.

The chosen border features an elegant petal design, which works particularly well with the Italian-inspired garden the customer is creating around the orangery. The floral detailing provides a subtle connection between the interior and exterior, helping the orangery feel like a natural transition between the home and garden.

This project demonstrates how a border tile can completely change the appearance of a tiled floor. Rather than simply finishing the edges, a thoughtfully chosen border can frame the room, introduce pattern and connect the flooring with the wider interior and exterior design, creating a bespoke finish with both character and timeless appeal.

Large-Format Tiling

Our recent project showcases the experience and craftsmanship of the Stoke Tiles installation team. Covering an impressive 300 square metres, the project involved the installation of large-format 900 x 900mm floor tiles, creating a seamless and elegant flow throughout the space.

Before any tiles were installed, careful preparation of the substrate was essential. With underfloor heating incorporated into the floor, our team installed a specialist uncoupling membrane across the area. This creates a separating layer between the tiled surface and the heated substrate, helping to manage movement and reduce stresses that could otherwise contribute to cracking in the tiled finish.

Precise setting out and alignment allowed the large-format tiles to flow naturally from one area to another, creating a clean and uninterrupted appearance.

The same attention to detail continued onto the staircase, where the tiles were carefully measured, cut and positioned to maintain the alignment of the main floor. Each step was finished with a complementary stair tread trim, providing a neat, considered finish while adding protection and practicality to the edge of each step.

The completed project demonstrates that exceptional tiling is about far more than the tiles themselves. Correct preparation, appropriate installation materials and experienced craftsmanship all play an essential part in creating a floor that looks beautifully considered and is designed to perform for years to come.

Bathroom Transformation

Our exceptional fitting team recently completed a stunning bathroom transformation, turning a standard family bathroom into an elegant and relaxing spa-like space. The project showcases the team’s skill, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering an outstanding finish.

The transformation centres around a sophisticated design palette, using high-quality materials to create a luxurious feel. The walls are adorned with large, 60x120cm Palatina Marble Gloss tiles, providing a bright and spacious backdrop. The floor features Vita Perla 90x90cm tiles, complementing the walls tiles with their subtle texture and neutral tone.

A particular highlight of the design is the inclusion of niches, lined with Porcelanosa Gravity Aluminium Trace Gold Mosaics. These niches add a touch of glamour and provide practical storage for toiletries and decorative items.

Modern dark bathroom tiles

Our tile fitting team recently completed a remarkable tiling project for a customer. The customer opted for a sophisticated and dark colour scheme. The walls were adorned with the luxurious Pleasure Matt Brown 1198x598mm tiles. These tiles are renowned for their rich, deep brown hue that adds a sense of opulence and warmth to any space. The striking gold veins running across the surface of these tiles further enhance the luxurious ambiance, creating a stunning visual appeal that draws the eye and elevates the entire bathroom’s aesthetic.

The customer selected the Mumble Natural floor tiles. These tiles provide a subtle contrast to the darker wall tiles, offering a natural and earthy tone that harmonises beautifully with the overall design. The combination of the Pleasure Matt Brown tiles with the Mumble Natural floor tiles results in a cohesive and elegant space that is both inviting and stylish.

Marble Bathroom Tiles

In this beautiful bathroom transformation our tile fitters have adorned the walls with elegant Carrara marble mosaic tiles, known for their classic beauty and timeless appeal. These tiles bring a sophisticated and luxurious ambiance to the space, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the bathroom. To complement the Carrara marble mosaics, our fitters expertly installed brushed gold trims. These trims seamlessly coordinate with the bathroom fixtures, adding a touch of elegance and warmth. The brushed finish provides a modern twist to the classic gold, maintaining a balance between traditional and contemporary styles.

For the flooring, our team installed Vita Perla tiles, measuring 90x90cm. These tiles were chosen for their ability to coordinate beautifully with the overall decor. The large format tiles offer a seamless look, contributing to the bathroom’s spacious appearance.

Creating a Seamless Wet Room

Our expert fitting team transformed this bathroom using elegant Porcelanosa Carrara Blanco 45 x 120cm tiles across both the walls and floor. With their classic marble effect and subtle Carrara-inspired veining, these large-format tiles create a bright, luxurious and beautifully coordinated finish.

Careful preparation and precision were essential throughout the installation. Our experienced tile fitters correctly prepared the surfaces before carefully planning the layout and positioning of each tile.

For a particularly refined finish, the external tile edges were mitred rather than finished with conventional tile trims. This specialist technique creates crisp, seamless corners and allows the Carrara design to flow around the edges, resulting in a cleaner and more considered appearance.

The floor tiles were also carefully cut and installed to create the falls required for a wet-room shower area. This allowed the shower to be incorporated directly into the tiled floor without the need for a conventional shower tray.

Removing the visual interruption of a shower tray creates a cleaner, more seamless appearance and allows the large-format Carrara tiles to flow naturally throughout the bathroom. The result is a contemporary, open feel that complements the minimalist design of the space.

Sophisticated Splash back

When our customer approached us with the desire to transform their kitchen into a sophisticated space, they had a clear vision in mind. They wanted to create a striking focal point that would draw attention and add a touch of elegance to their home. The idea was to install brick-shaped tiles in an intricate herringbone pattern, complete with a border, to serve as a sophisticated splashback.

Our expert fitting team took on the challenge with enthusiasm and dedication. Understanding the importance of precision in laying out a herringbone pattern, they meticulously planned the installation process. The team ensured that each tile was placed with care, maintaining the integrity of the pattern while also fitting within the designated space.

The transformation was nothing short of stunning. The herringbone pattern, with its dynamic lines and elegant border, added a layer of visual interest that elevated the kitchen’s aesthetic. This sophisticated splash back became the focal point our customer had envisioned, tying together the kitchen’s design elements beautifully.

Brilliant brick slip installation

When it comes to construction and renovation projects, merging the aesthetics of a new build with an existing structure can be a challenging task. Our recent project involved a unique request for our fitting team: to install brick slips over an extension of an external building. The goal was to seamlessly integrate the new extension with the existing architecture, creating a cohesive and visually appealing finish.

Brick slips, also known as brick veneers, are thin slices of brick used to replicate the appearance of a traditional brick wall. They offer the aesthetic appeal of full bricks but are lighter and more versatile. This makes them an ideal choice for projects where weight and space are considerations.

The results were nothing short of extraordinary. Our fitters demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and dedication to quality. The brick slips were meticulously installed, creating a seamless transition between the old and new sections of the building. This careful execution ensured that the extension appeared as an integral part of the original structure, rather than an afterthought.

A stunning combination of marble effect tiles with wood effect tiles

Our talented fitting team has been hard at work, transforming spaces into stunning environments that blend elegance with practicality. Recently, they’ve completed a breathtaking project that involved tiling a full bathroom and two W.C.’s, achieving a seamless and sophisticated look across all three rooms.

The customer selected the Palatina Gold Gloss tiles, measuring 60x30cm, for the walls. These tiles feature a striking marble effect with elegant gold veining, creating a luxurious and timeless appearance. This choice not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the spaces but also adds a touch of opulence and warmth to the environment. To complement the walls, the customer chose Mumble Natural Oak tiles for the flooring. These tiles offer a realistic wood effect in a plank style, providing a beautiful contrast to the marble effect walls. The natural oak finish adds a sense of coziness and comfort, perfectly balancing the grandeur of the Palatina Gold Gloss tiles.

Tranquil bathroom with coordinating marble and mosaic tiles

Marble effect tiles have long been a symbol of luxury and sophistication in interior design. Their intricate patterns and elegant finish can transform any space into a masterpiece. Recently, our skilled team of fitters took on the exciting task of installing these stunning tiles in a bathroom, creating an oasis of tranquility and style.

To further enhance the functionality and aesthetic of the bathroom, we installed a mosaic tile partition to define the walk-in shower area. The mosaic tiles add a touch of artistry and contrast to the marble effect, creating a striking visual separation while maintaining an open and spacious feel.

The combination of luxurious marble effect tiles and artful mosaic tiles has transformed this bathroom into a sanctuary of elegance and comfort. Our team’s expertise and attention to detail ensured a flawless installation, highlighting the beauty of these magnificent materials. Whether you’re renovating or designing a new space, marble effect tiles offer a timeless and sophisticated solution that will elevate any interior.

Bespoke finishing touches

Our talented fitting team embarked on a significant commercial project that involved tiling various essential areas such as the shower rooms, toilets, and canteen. Each space was designed with functionality in mind, yet with a keen eye on aesthetics to ensure a welcoming and professional environment.

In an effort to leave a lasting impression and elevate the design of the project, the team decided to incorporate a bespoke finishing touch. Their creative vision led them to feature the company logo in a unique way. Using state-of-the-art water jet cutting technology, the company logo was precisely crafted from two porcelain tiles. This advanced method allowed for intricate designs and clean lines, ensuring the logo was both durable and visually striking.

The custom logo tiles were installed at the office entrance, serving as a sophisticated and personal greeting for staff and visitors alike. This thoughtful addition not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the entrance but also reinforced the company’s brand identity in a subtle yet powerful manner.

The incorporation of the company logo through innovative tile work exemplifies the fitting team’s commitment to excellence and creativity. By merging functionality with personalised design elements, they successfully transformed the commercial space into an environment that reflects the company’s values and attention to detail.

Transforming a utility area, dog shower and downstairs WC

Our experienced team of tile fitters has recently completed a comprehensive tiling project in a residential space, which included a utility area, a dog shower, and a downstairs WC. The transformation of these areas showcased our attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship.

In the utility area, including the dog shower, we installed mosaic, brick-shaped tiles arranged in an elegant herringbone layout. This pattern not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a touch of sophistication and modernity to the space. The downstairs WC was adorned with grey metro tiles on the walls. These tiles offer a sleek and contemporary look, perfectly complemented by the brushed gold trims. Both the utility area and the downstairs WC feature Vita Perla floor tiles. These tiles are known for their durability and subtle beauty, providing a cohesive look across the different spaces. Overall, this tiling project successfully blends style and practicality, resulting in a beautifully finished environment that meets all the functional needs of the homeowners.

Wood Effect Tiles

Wood effect tiles are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to mimic the natural beauty of wood while offering the practical benefits of porcelain. Below is a selection of stunning installations recently completed by our expert fitting team.

The plank effect tiles are ideal for achieving a modern and sleek look or a rustic and cozy ambiance, depending on the colour choice.

Parquet effect tiles are designed to replicate the intricate patterns of traditional parquet flooring, such as herringbone, chevron, and basket weave. These designs add a sense of sophistication and texture to any room, making them a perfect choice for formal spaces like dining rooms or entryways. The patterned layout can create a focal point, drawing attention and adding visual interest.

The importance of professional tile fitters

Our skilled team recently repaired a floor where tiles were cracking due to improper installation. The previous fitters had failed to install crack matting before laying tiles over underfloor heating, causing the tiles to lift, detach, and crack.

Our Solution:

  1. Removed damaged tiles – Carefully lifted existing tiles to avoid further damage to the substrate.
  2. Levelled the floor – Created a smooth, even surface essential for stability and longevity.
  3. Installed crack matting – Added this critical layer to absorb movement and stress from heat expansion and contraction.
  4. Laid new tiles – Installed Sovereign Beige 80 x 80cm tiles throughout the ground floor for a fresh, durable finish.

The Result:

The ground floor now has a flawless, stable finish. The crack matting ensures the tiles remain secure despite underfloor heating, while the elegant Sovereign Beige tiles enhance the overall aesthetic of the space.

Beautiful bathroom tiles

Our team of expert tile fitters were tasked with designing, supplying and installing tiles for a customer’s bathroom. The design process was a collaborative effort, ensuring that the customer’s vision for a luxurious and cohesive space was brought to life.

For the flooring, the customer chose Porcelanosa Carrara Gold tiles, sized 59.6 x 59.6 cm. These tiles offer a sleek, sophisticated appearance with delicate gold veining that adds a touch of elegance to the bathroom floor. To coordinate with the floor, the walls were adorned with Palatina Gold marble effect tiles. These tiles mirror the luxurious appeal of natural marble, creating a seamless and harmonious flow throughout the bathroom space.

In the shower cubicle, the Mumble Natural Oak wood effect tiles were selected to create an eye-catching feature. The warm tones of the wood effect tiles provided a stunning contrast to the marble effect tiles, resulting in a captivating focal point within the shower area.

The completed bathroom exceeded expectations, with the gold veins in the marble effect tiles beautifully complementing the colour of the wood, tile trims, and accessories. The result is a fully accomplished bathroom that exudes elegance and sophistication, leaving our customer thoroughly impressed with the transformation.
