Minoli Sample Service – Supporting the Design Process

There’s much to consider when choosing tiles for different residential and commercial projects and the team at Minoli are here to help you make the right decisions, as part of the design process.

Ideally, we encourage professional clients and retail customers to visit our Oxford or London showrooms to see the ranges up close and in person. Of course, that’s not always possible and it’s also useful to view a shortlisted selection of products in the context of where they will be fitted.

While our showrooms are well lit and have good natural light, the environment in which tiles will be installed can affect the way they look. The source, direction, colour or warmth of light in day and at night, surrounding decor and other proximate surfaces can all influence how our eyes perceive the shade and texture of tiles in different situations.

What’s more, our professional designer and corporate clients often need to present options and recommendations for various ranges to their own customers and stakeholders, on site or at different times and locations, with mood boards being an essential component of any design presentation.

That’s where the Minoli Sample Service is so helpful for our clients, be they interior designers, architects, housebuilders, property developers, corporate clients, garden designers, professional landscapers, or homeowners, amongst other end users.

Getting hold of samples from Minoli’s indoor and outdoor porcelain or ceramic tile collections is simple and the marketing team at Minoli aim to maintain stocks of all our current ranges, usually provided as 10 x 10 cm preprepared cut pieces, mounted on labelled card.

You can collect preprepared samples in person from either of our Oxford or London showrooms, order them online in a few clicks through the Minoli website, or you can even contact us by phone or email to request up to four samples to be sent by post, or more^*.

Packaged into our new specially designed sample boxes, receiving a selection is always an exciting part of the design and decision process, and starts to make a project more tangible as you can imagine the tones and textures of tiles on walls or floors and play with different colour schemes.

For professional and corporate clients, we recognise that different quantities and formats of sample may be required to present to their customers and stakeholders. As such, there may be occasions when we can make larger or full-size pieces available to help clients buy into the vision for the finished design. We’re happy to discuss delivery options and specific requirements with all our trade and professional customers.
