Teardrops

The Teardrops tile features a distinctive teardrop or scale-shaped profile, sometimes called a fish-scale or fan tile, which creates a flowing, overlapping pattern when laid on a wall. The glazed ceramic finish adds a subtle sheen that catches the light and brings the repeating shapes to life, making even a small area feel dynamic and considered.

Absolutely – the Teardrops collection is specifically designed to work both as a full wall covering and as an eye-catching feature wall or splashback. Using them on a single section, such as the area behind a kitchen hob or basin, is a cost-effective way to introduce the design without committing to full-room coverage.

Because of their curved, overlapping profile, Teardrops tiles require careful planning before installation to ensure the pattern aligns correctly from row to row. It is strongly recommended that you dry-lay a section of tiles on the floor first to understand the repeat and identify the best starting point on your wall, typically working from the centre outward.

The scale format and glazed ceramic construction make Teardrops tiles a popular choice for bathrooms, en suites, and kitchen splashbacks where a decorative focal point is desired. They also work beautifully in cloakrooms, where the smaller wall area means the full visual impact of the pattern can be appreciated without the cost of tiling a large room.

The glazed ceramic surface is straightforward to wipe down with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Pay a little extra attention to the grout lines that follow the curved edges of each tile, as these can accumulate soap residue over time – a soft grout brush used occasionally will keep them looking fresh.
