FAQs about Ordering Samples

Yes! We know choosing the right stone or tile can be tricky, so we offer four free cut tile samples, delivered to your door with free shipping. Moreover, seeing and feeling the material in person makes all the difference.

Not sure you’ve found the perfect match? No problem. Just come back online and order a few more options. Above all, we’re here to help you find the right fit for your space, with confidence and ease.

A cut sample is a small piece of a tile, about 10 cm × 10 cm, that lets you see the colour, texture and finish before you decide. Because it comes from the centre of the tile, it may not show the edge detail or the full variation in the stone or tile.

In contrast, a full-size tile shows the complete stone or pattern, giving you a better sense of scale and how it will look in your space. You can order free cut samples through our website, while free full tile samples are available for collection from NB Display Centre.

You can order samples straight from the product category pages by clicking the ‘Order FREE sample’ button. Or you can order from the product page by clicking ‘Order a Sample’. This will then be added to your basket. Simply add up to four samples to your basket, and then click on the trolley icon in the top right corner to input your address details and place your order.

A small selection of products are only available as full tiles due to their design or material. However, you are more than welcome to collect a sample, by visiting us at NB Display Centre In Berkshire.

No, our samples are delivered straight to your door free of charge, with our compliments. It’s our way of saying thank you for considering our tiles, and we’re confident you’ll love them.

Samples are a great way to get started, but it’s worth remembering that natural stone and tiles are exactly that – natural – and so can vary slightly in colour and texture from batch to batch. When you receive your samples, look at them in the room where they’ll be used, in both natural and artificial light. Also please take a look at our the online images to get a feel for how the stone or tile will look when installed.

Ultimately, the best tiles are those that complement your space and lifestyle. For timeless elegance and natural character, limestone is an excellent choice. In contrast, porcelain is ideal for busy homes, offering outstanding durability and easy maintenance. Contact our expert team today to discuss the best solution for your project.

It depends on your needs, style and budget. Here’s a quick guide:

• Porcelain – Very durable and low maintenance, stain-resistant and great for modern looks.
• Limestone – Natural feel, warm characterful tones, can weather over time, great for traditional and contemporary spaces alike.
• Sandstone – Natural and textured, with a wide range of colours, great for traditional spaces.
• Granite – Extremely hard and durable, ideal for high-traffic areas, natural sparkle.
