Welcome to Walton Ceramics of Chelsea an outstanding tile shop on your doorstep in central London

Coronavirus Update – August 2020
We are delighted to let you know that our Chelsea showroom in Cale Street is open to clients on an appointment-only basis between 10am - 4pm, Monday to Friday. We are currently closed at the weekend. We are able to do this as we have put in place the relevant safety measures and guidelines that will help to keep both our customers and our staff safe and well.

The government has been very clear that keeping the construction industry working is vital to our economy, and as many sites have now adapted to new social distancing guidelines we feel we are able to do the same, and are offering an environment that is as safe as possible for our staff and clients to confirm tile decisions and allow their projects to continue. Below is an outline of the procedures we have put in place.

To make an appointment please call us on 07792 543289 or email Tim on: t_whittaker@waltonceramics.co.uk

NB: we will only allow one set of clients (2 adults) to enter at a time, so please book an appointment in advance.

Please call or email if you are unable to visit the showroom and would like a sample, as we are able to deliver them to you for approval. All samples will be cleaned prior to delivery, and are only handled by our warehouse staff who will be wearing gloves. We recommend you clean the samples on receipt as an extra precaution.

SLEEK LIGHTER SHADES

The latest trends lean more towards cool greys, taupes and mid-tones giving a more luxurious and relaxing feel that will stand the test of time. Neutral coloured tiles are also great as they can make small rooms look bigger as they reflect the light more than darker colours, giving an airy and spacious feel.

CONTEMPORARY STYLE

Up to the minute designs of cutting edge materials from the ultra realistic Rawhide range of porcelain assimilation leather (who would have imagined leather in the shower before) to contemporizing any situation with the ground breaking uber sized Featherlite.

WOOD EFFECT TILES

Textured finishes can now be applied to porcelain as in our driftwood range, which has a fabulous wood-effect grain texture and often gets confused for real thing! A fully waterproof, scratch and dent resistant kitchen floor is a must for families with small children and pets!

STATEMENT SURFACES

Used to jaw dropping effect, rich opulent colours and textures can be juxtaposed to create amazing focussed designs and accents or over the full area to create a deeply impactful space.

ANTI-SLIP BENEFITS

Porcelain tiles allow many finishes to be applied so you can reach just about any anti slip rating. Not only does our Maximo range have an anti slip rating of R10 it can also be supplied in large pieces (1200x1200 and 10.5mm thick) which creates a seamless modern floor covering that will stand the test of time.
