Why order samples?
A screen cannot show you everything.
Tiles change with the light. Texture becomes clearer when you can touch it. Warm and cool tones make more sense beside paint, timber, worktops, fabrics and the other finishes already in the scheme.
That is why our sample service is there: to help you narrow the choice with the actual material in front of you before you specify or order.
Take them into the room. Put them next to the other materials. Live with them for a little while.
How it works

For professionals

The standard sample is
only the starting point.
Our usual sample is a small cut piece, typically around 100 × 100 mm where the product allows. That is ideal for seeing colour, finish and surface detail.
If you need more, just ask. We can arrange larger pieces of regular tiles, full or presentation-size pieces, mosaics, decorative tiles, trims and other special formats where available.
- Larger pieces for colour and movement
- Regular or full tile samples
- Mosaics and decorative pieces
- Special shapes, trims or unusual formats
Tell us the product and what would be most useful. We will take it from there.

Free tile samples, delivered free to UK mainland
Choosing a tile is easier when you can see and feel it properly. Order samples from the Appleton Brooks collections at no cost, with standard sample delivery to UK mainland addresses free too. Request up to 15 samples, with delivery typically taking 2–3 days. No returns are required. There is no payment step: choose the products you are considering, add the samples to your Sample Basket and tell us where to send them.
Made for projects, useful for every customer
Our sample service is designed to make product selection straightforward for interior designers, architects, retailers and homeowners. If you are working on a live project, you can optionally tell us a little about it so we can provide useful follow-up or specification support where appropriate.
Need something larger?
Some projects need more than a standard cut sample. If you need a full tile, mosaic, larger presentation sample or help choosing between products, contact us and we will advise on the most useful sample format for the project.
