WASTE NOT WANT NOT
Spanish tile brand Huguet has joined forces with London-based
architectural firm APT to produce a new kind of terrazzo using
waste from the construction industry. Available in three soft
shades, the material is made from building excess such as brick,
metal and timber that would usually end its life in landfill. From
£161.36 per square metre (huguetmallorca.com).BLOCK PARTY
Known for its patterned, monochrome encaustic tiles, Bert & May has had a
change of heart: for its latest launches, it is embracing solid hues. A collection of
eco-friendly paint – including 48 warm, naturally derived shades available in eco
emulsion, limewash and eggshell – joins 31 new block-coloured tiles. ‘Navy 03’
eco emulsion paint, £65 for 2.5 litres; ‘Sea Blue’ tile, £3 each ( bertandmay.com).
NEW
DIMENSIONS
Havwoods’ take on the 3D -tile trend
uses the material of the moment: cork.
The ‘Vertical’ collection is the flooring
brand’s first range designed for use on
walls, and can create various visual
effects depending on how you combine
the three tile designs. What’s more,
cork is soundproof, provides insulation
and repels dust and fungus. From top:
‘Modo’, ‘Giza’ and ‘Reyes’, from £52.74
