Project Spotlight: Waterfall Shower Tile Murals

You may have seen pictures elsewhere, but we are the manufacturer of these beautiful waterfall shower tile murals!  We have successfully custom fit many variations of these beautiful shower panels all over the United States, and we can ship them anywhere!

Since every shower is going to be different, so is each mural!  We are able to accommodate spaces of all sizes.  We have different sizes and types of tile to choose from to fit your space perfectly.

Hear what one of our client’s had to say about their waterfall shower tile mural:

“I am a land developer and builder of thirty years. My wife and I used Tile by Design to custom make tiles for our Penthouse Master Bath shower area. A photograph of a waterfall that we sent them was transferred onto the back of tempered glass tiles. They “photo shopped” the floor of the shower using their magic. The tiles were numbered and carefully shipped to our location in Florida. None were damaged. It has become a main focal point of the entire job.

We never met Lori personally, all communication was done by E-mail or telephone.  Lori and her staff understood the project, sent mock ups by e-mail, and communicated with us every step of the way.  We are delighted with the finished product which I believe is on their website.”

-Chris G.

Do you like the idea of covering your shower walls with a full panel design, but don’t like this particular image?  Not a problem!  We have 1,000s of images you can choose from to find something that matches your tastes.  Deserts, snowy mountainsides, beach scenes, and even different waterfalls are all possible!

Designers, architects, and contractors: Clients are always on the hunt for a ‘wow factor’ item that will set their project apart from their cookie cutter neighbors.  Adding our shower tile murals to your offering is a great way to create a focal point in any room!

Just like all of our murals, we include very simple to follow installation instructions.  Any reputable tile installer or contractor will be able to install these tiles with ease.

Decorating with Accent Tile Murals

We get this question from our clients all the time: “I love the idea of using an image/piece of art as part of my renovation, but I’m not sure I have enough room.  Is there anything you can do?”  The answer is YES!

Custom Kitchen Accent Tiles
For this custom project, we took an old note that our client’s daughter wrote when she was a little girl… “I Love You Mom.” 🙂

Accent tile murals are an effective and inexpensive way of tastefully decorating an area that may not provide much room to work with.

Here’s an example of a project where there were space restrictions:

Even a single tile can make a big difference!

Here’s what this client had to say about her decision to use a single tile in a guest bathroom:

Accent Tile Mural Shower

“Dan,

I have attached 2 photos taken during the installation process. It came out exactly as I had hoped. A subtle eye catcher. She appears to be looking out the window.

When guests come out of the room they always mention how lovely it is and what a great idea it was to put it there.

This bath area is small so I didn’t want anything too extravagant. This turned out to be the perfect addition to an otherwise plain bathroom tile wall in a small area.

Couldn’t be more pleased.

Thank you,

C Back”

Unique Wedding Gift Idea

It’s wedding season!

Now is the time of year where beautiful brides and handsome grooms stand in from of family and friends to make it official. As a guest, you want to thank the lovely couple with a gift that shows how much you appreciate being included in their special day. But aren’t you tired of picking the same guest towels or salt and pepper shaker set off of the registry? So were we.

Wedding Gift Tile
Wedding Invitation Scanned and Printed on our 8″x10″ Ceramic Tile.  Set on a Decorative Wrought Iron Frame.

We’ve come up with not only a creative and unique gift, but something that allows the betrothed to remember their special day for years to come. Printed on our 8”x10” or 6”x8” ceramic tiles is a copy of their wedding invitation or announcement. We include a decorative wrought iron easel so the tile can be displayed throughout a home or office. If they decide to build their dream home down the road, our tile can be installed as an accent piece in their master bathroom, kitchen, home office, etc.  All we need from you is a hires scan of the document that you’d like to use.

When we came up with this idea, we were only giving them as gifts at weddings we went to. After about the 3rd or 4th one, we started getting calls from friends of friends asking where they could order. That’s when we decided to make the product available for purchase on our site.

Check out the link below for more information, or to place an order for your wedding gift tile. As always, if there are any questions at all, please just ask us. We’re happy to help!

Dye Sublimation Tiles vs Kiln Fired Tiles: What’s the difference?

Today we wanted to take some time to tell you the difference between the two processes we use to transfer images on to tiles: dye sublimation and kiln firing.

Dye Sublimation is the image transfer process we use for the majority of our tile mural projects. Dye sub tiles are great for any indoor mural projects, including: kitchen backsplashes, shower surrounds, wine cellars, and certain flooring applications.

The advantage dye sub tiles have over kiln fired tiles are that they are more affordable and can be created much quicker than the kiln fired tiles. We normally produce and ship all dye sub orders within 2 business days!

The downside to the dye sub tiles is that they will fade over time if exposed to direct sunlight.

Kiln Fired tiles are perfect for any outdoor installation location, such as pool areas, outdoor kitchens, public parks, and commercial signage.

Our kiln fired tiles are guaranteed not to fade due to UV rays from the sun. They are also great for install locations that are susceptible to freeze/thaw environments (ex- pools in areas that freeze over the winter).

To achieve this extra durability, there is a lot more labor involved in the image transfer process. As a result, both the production time and the price are often greater than the dye sub tiles.

So, should you go with kiln fired tiles or dye sublimated tiles for your tile mural project? Our answer: it depends on where the mural is being installed. If indoors, go with the dye sub and save some money. If going outdoors, go kiln fired and have the peace of mind that its durability will allow for years of enjoyment.

As always, we’re happy to help by answering any questions you have. You can leave a comment below or contact us thought the website.
