Discover Artisanal Tiles with Timeless Style and Natural Texture
Whether you're refreshing a kitchen splashback, designing a boutique bathroom, or laying a statement floor, Bert & May tiles bring quiet sophistication to every surface. Their signature aesthetic is rustic, raw and elegant — combining reclaimed style with a clean, contemporary edge. Ideal for both traditional homes and modern spaces looking to add depth and texture, these tiles offer endless design versatility.
Encaustic Cement Tiles for Characterful Floors and Walls
Bert & May is widely celebrated for its encaustic cement tiles, made using time-honoured techniques that involve hand-pressing pigmented cement into moulds. The result is a tile with rich colour, soft chalky texture, and slight tonal variation that only gets better with age. These tiles are ideal for flooring in hallways, bathrooms, kitchens and commercial spaces, and can also be used to create geometric feature walls or splashbacks.
From hexagonal tiles to classic square formats, their geometric patterns and motifs suit both heritage and contemporary interiors.
Handmade Glazed Wall Tiles with Subtle Imperfections
The Bert & May glazed tile range includes Zellige-style tiles and other small-format designs with a glossy, light-reflecting surface. These handmade tiles feature natural variation in tone, shape and glaze, bringing a unique tactile quality to walls. Whether laid in traditional brick bond or vertical stacks, they create serene backdrops in kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms.
Available in muted whites, soft blues, moss greens and inky blacks, these tiles complement the brand’s cement range beautifully.
Authentic Colour Palette Inspired by Earth, Water and Sky
One of Bert & May’s defining features is its use of calming, chalky colours inspired by natural landscapes. Their signature shades — including Dusty Pink, Marigold, Forest Green, and Brighton Stone — bring a sense of warmth and heritage into the home. These tones are easy to coordinate with wood, stone, metal and painted finishes, making them a designer favourite for both bold and quiet interiors.
Their palette is particularly suited to vintage-inspired schemes, rustic kitchens, and modern boho bathrooms.
Durable and Sustainable Materials for Everyday Living
All Bert & May tiles are made with sustainability and longevity in mind. Their cement tiles are durable and suitable for indoor and outdoor use when sealed properly, offering a hardwearing surface that is easy to care for over time. Their manufacturing processes use natural pigments and traditional craftsmanship, reflecting a slower, more mindful approach to design.
These tiles are as practical as they are beautiful — made for real homes with real character.
