SublimeTiles

We are a Canadian shop. Sales taxes will not be charged or will be refunded to Canadian customers. For our American customers please understand that NO TARIFFS will be applied to your purchase if the total purchase price is $USD 800.00 or less. This is a Duty Free Exemption. If you plan t spend more than $800.00 then please contact the seller. Please Note: Our ceramic tiles designs are flat; there are no raised surfaces. Also our coasters and clock faces are made of hardboard; a common substrate for coasters; they are not ceramic.

Sublime Tiles uses a process called sublimation* to print images on specially coated ceramic (and glass and hardboard) tiles. The tiles we print can be used as a standalone decorative tile e.g. in a stand on a mantelpiece, as accent tiles in a backsplash or fireplace, or as a mural. Our tiles have been featured in KITCHENS Magazine (Romantic Homes Publications) and we have supplied a number of US museums with our ceramic giftware.

The art we use is all in the public domain allowing us access to some of the greatest artists and illustrators in the world. So if you are planning a tile project think of sublimation where your only limitation is your imagination. Imagine a kitchen decorated with scenes from The Arabian Nights or The Four Seasons by Alphonse Mucha! We tend to specialise in Art Deco, Art Nouveau and the tiles of Victorian England.

If you do have a tile project and cannot find what you want here, you will want to visit the likes of Shutterstock, a stock photography agency, where you can view literally thousands of Royalty-Free digital designs suitable for your project. You can purchase an image which we can use to create the tiles. You do not have a copyright problem as the image is used for personal purposes.

Can't find what you are looking for; we literally have thousands of art images so contact us and we will see what we can come up with. We also specialise in Scottish Clans and Coat of Arms - ask us!

Ceramic Tiles are not suitable for counter tops but our glass or hardboard tiles will do very nicely. All of our images are interchangeable with our ceramic, glass or hardboard tiles. Still unsure about Sublimated tiles. There are advantages and disadvantages with every process; the advantages of sublimation is that for a moderate price you can recreate the beautiful designs of yesterday, and/or custom colour your tiles. There are really no disadvantages if you follow our simple instructions i.e. use a Non-Sand grout and Windex with a non-abrasive cloth. We do not recommend installing our tiles in direct sunshine; contact us if you are thinking of an outdoor project, we will advise according to your plans.

We have 2 other Etsy shops, The Art Nouveau Shop, and Sublime Images. Please visit.
