There’s nothing like seeing and touching a real cut tile sample to help you make, share or confirm your choices as part of the garden or landscape design process.
As a relatively new alternative to traditional stone or concrete paving, timber or composite decking, it’s even more important to be able to convey the qualities of porcelain paving to clients and decision makers.
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 planting and other proximate surfaces can all influence how our eyes perceive the shade and texture of paving 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 garden designers, professional landscapers, property developers or homeowners, amongst other end users.
Over natural stone and wood, porcelain pavers are frost proof and resilient to extreme heat, have structured anti-slip surfaces, do not require sealing, do not attract moss or algae, do not show immediate wear and are more uniform in production for ease of installation and consistency of look for the more architectural project.
Packaged into our new specially designed Minoli sample boxes for safe delivery, our preprepared, individual samples are easy to order online, by phone or email. The standard sample supply package includes up to four 10×10 cm cut samples posted to a mainland UK address, but professional clients can also discuss their needs or particular requests with our corporate or showroom teams.
You can browse the Outdoor By Minoli Collection on our website here and then request samples by clicking on the shopping bag icon for each product.
