Versa-Tile... Is There Nothing Ceramic Tiles Can't Do?

All The Benefits - Without The Hard Work

Looking for a wooden floor that won’t scratch, or a natural stone one that doesn’t need constant attention – or even an outdoor deck that won’t rot?

The new generation of ceramic tile lookalikes are the answer.

These days tough, hard-wearing porcelain tiles come in a stunning variety of guises, some so realistic you actually have to touch them to check if they are the real thing.

The latest wood lookalikes are astounding. Some top of the range products even have saw marks. And across the whole price range – fabulously finished tiles, fashioned to reproduce the sophisticated look of a perfectly fitted wooden floor, abound.

Then there’s the vast range of natural stone lookalikes, which emulate all the classic finishes such as travertine, limestone and even marble. Again, the big difference is, that they don’t need any preparation or maintenance... and they’ll look as good in years to come as they did on the day they were fitted.

Lookalikes are even marching into the garden too – with fantastic, no nonsense wood look alike decking and beautiful exterior ceramic tile paving.

EMC Tiles is one of the UK’s leading retailers of these fabulous products and the company has recently taken over the Leicester Tile Centre on Saffron Lane where it will bring their unrivalled selection of products. So together with all the expertise and specialised knowledge of everything "ceramics tiles" there's also the expertise in the field ceramic tile lookalikes.

EMC Tiles managing director, Barry Slawson said: “We have always been a tremendously enthusiastic supporter of look-alike tiles. To us – this has possibly been the most exciting development for tile buyers in the 35 years we have been in business.

“We are really looking forward to building an excellent working relationship with all our new Leicestershire customers and to offering them the choice and customer service which has made us consistent award winners.

“We're inviteing all our new domestic and trade customers to come and take a look at just how much we have to offer.”
