Research & Development

An R&D revolution – A bespoke specialist

Innovation has become a passion at Shapzu Tiles and in recent years it has received numerous appreciation for its research and development work. Not only have new colours, new colour blends and visual effects been developed, but to achieve these efficiently new firing processes have been invented, employing rapid firing kilns and precious metals to achieve brilliant colours and beautiful new glazes.

Shapzu Tiles could produce collectable tiles in vibrant colours at a tiny fraction of the cost of other artisan producers. It has always been a specialist, but today it is a hugely flexible specialist. Increasingly it counts among its customers not only discerning individuals but also designers and architects commissioning tiles for high end dining and retail venues.
