Our Services
One works, one crew. We draw the layout, pour and polish the tile, then lay and seal it on site. The finish on the sample board is the finish that reaches the floor, because nothing changes hands in between.
Three stages, one supplier
A surface specification usually passes through a designer, a factory and a tiling contractor, and it loses something at every handover. These three stages sit inside one company in Karachi.
- Design
Drawn against the room, not the catalogue
Bring a drawing set, a mood board, or one reference photograph. Our architects and designers read the room against it: daylight, traffic, wet areas, and the transitions where the floor meets something else. What comes back is a finish, a format and a setting out plan you can put in front of a client.
Work made to individual order stays with the project that commissioned it. A pattern drawn for your building is not resold into the catalogue, which is the practical difference between specifying a bespoke tile and specifying a stock one.

3D wall tile, six patterns in production - Manufacture
Hand poured at the Karachi works
Every tile is poured by hand. Pigment goes through the body rather than onto the surface, and the marble aggregate is set through the full depth of the slab, so grinding exposes the same material in year ten that it did on handover.
Terrazzo cures before anything touches it, then it is ground, honed and polished to the grade printed on the sample sheet. Thirty eight coded finishes are in current production across six base colours, with chip grades from 1.5 to 3.

Laid, grouted and sealed by our own crew
Buying the tile and finding a crew to lay it are two separate problems. Our installers take the second one. They survey the site, check the screed and the falls, and set out from the drawing rather than from the nearest doorway.
Cuts at columns, thresholds and drains are made on site by the same team, not subcontracted out, and the floor is sealed before it is handed over.

What a specifier asks first
Answers to the six questions that arrive before a sample request does.
What is the lead time on an order?
Lead time follows the finish and the volume. A coded terrazzo finish in a modest quantity moves faster than a bespoke pattern that needs a mould cut first, and every tile is cast, cured and polished in sequence rather than pulled off a shelf. We confirm a date with the quote, once the finish and the area are fixed.
Is there a minimum order?
It depends on the product. Tile is poured in batches, so a single batch is the practical floor for a bespoke colour or pattern, and one run large enough to hold colour consistent beats several small ones. Send the area in square feet and we will tell you what that works out to in batches.
Can I get samples before I specify?
Yes, and we would rather send a sample than describe one. Send the finish codes, for example ATW-1001 or ATG-2007, with a delivery address. Samples can be collected from the works in Karachi or sent out to you. Any charge for the sample and its carriage is confirmed when we acknowledge the request.
Do you install outside Karachi?
The works and the installation crew are both in Karachi, and most installed projects are in the city. Work further afield is quoted case by case, because it turns on the site, the volume and the programme rather than on distance alone. Tell us where the site is and we will say whether our own crew travels or whether we supply your contractor with a setting out drawing.
What formats and thicknesses are available?
Concrete tile is cast in a mould rather than cut from a slab, so format is a mould question, not a stock question. Standard formats cover the usual floor and wall sizes, and anything outside them is possible where the volume justifies cutting a mould. Thickness follows the application: a roof heat insulation tile is a three layer unit, driveway paving is rated for vehicle load, and an interior floor tile is thinner than either. Natural stone is cut to size in Karachi in both slab and tile. Exact dimensions are confirmed with the quote.
How is terrazzo sealed and maintained?
Terrazzo is a cement matrix with marble aggregate through it, so it takes a penetrating sealer rather than a surface film. We seal before handover. After that it wants a neutral pH cleaner and a mop; acidic cleaners, bleach and abrasive pads etch the marble and dull the polish. Resealing is periodic and depends on traffic. Because the aggregate runs through the full depth of the tile, a worn floor can be reground rather than replaced.
