Embossed Tiles
FAQs
What are embossed tiles, and how do they differ from regular tiles?
Tessellated Tile Factory’s embossed tiles in Australia feature a raised or recessed pattern on the surface, giving them texture and depth. Unlike smooth, flat tiles, these designs create a tactile element that adds visual interest and subtle shadow effects as light changes throughout the day.
Many homeowners, designers and architects choose them to bring character and craftsmanship to walls, splashbacks and decorative features, making them versatile.
What design options are available in your embossed tile collection?
We offer a curated range of heritage-inspired patterns, botanical motifs and intricate geometric designs. Colours span from neutral tones to bold accents, with white embossed tiles being a classic choice for timeless interiors.
You can select from glossy finishes, and we can help you pick designs that suit period homes or modern projects, ensuring your tiles complement your overall design vision.
Are embossed tiles suitable for both walls and floors?
No, our embossed tiles are Australian designs best suited for walls only due to their textured finish, which requires careful underfoot cleaning. We help homeowners and trade professionals choose tiles that balance design, practicality and durability for the intended space so every installation meets both aesthetic and functional needs.
Are embossed tiles recommended for residential and commercial use?
Yes. We supply embossed tiles for Australian homes, hospitality venues, retail spaces and other commercial settings. Residential projects often use them for kitchen splashbacks, bathroom walls and decorative panels. For commercial spaces, they work well in reception areas, feature walls and boutique fit-outs.
Based on your space’s purpose, we can recommend suitable finishes from our white embossed tiles and coloured ranges for each environment.
Are embossed tiles suitable for heritage or period-style restorations?
Absolutely. Our designs replicate the depth and detailing found in traditional tiling from Victorian, Federation and Art Deco periods. We help heritage homeowners and restoration specialists select patterns from our range of Australian embossed tiles, respect original architecture while meeting modern installation standards and preserve authenticity without compromising quality.
Can I check your embossed tile range at your showroom?
Of course. Our Sydney showroom displays our complete collection of tiles in Australia, including our embossed tiles, tessellated tiles, mosaic tiles, stone step treads, subway tiles, trimming tiles, decorative tiles and hearth tiles. No appointment is needed. You can explore patterns, colours and finishes in person, with guidance from our experienced team to ensure you make the most informed selection.
How should I plan an embossed tile installation?
Measure your space carefully and discuss your vision with a professional tiler. The raised patterns of white embossed tiles or coloured designs require precise alignment for a seamless look. We can advise on layout, grout selection and design flow, ensuring the installation reflects your goals and maximises the impact of your chosen pattern.
How do I maintain embossed tiles?
We recommend cleaning with a soft cloth or sponge and a pH-neutral cleaner. For textured areas, a soft brush will help remove dust or residue from recessed details. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools to protect the surface. With proper care, your embossed tiles in Australia will retain their crisp detailing and vibrant finish for years.
