About Emporio Surfaces
UK’s Specialist Stockist for Premium Italian Porcelain
Emporio Surfaces is the UK’s specialist stockist for premium Italian porcelain
tiles and slabs — with deep ranges from Ariostea, Iris FMG, Fiandre, Ceramiche Piemme, and Porcelaingres and other leading manufacturers.
With over 20 years of industry experience and more than £2M of stock in our UK warehouse, we hand-select ranges from the top Italian manufacturers and hold them in Chatteris ready for immediate delivery — including the country’s largest selection of extra-large format tiles.
Our stock is imported directly rather than sourced through UK distributors, which is why our prices sit meaningfully below what UK showrooms typically charge for the same ranges. Same premium product, better prices, immediate UK delivery.
The UK’s Largest Selection of Extra-Large Format Tiles
Where most UK retailers cap their large format tiles at 100 x 100 cm, our range starts where theirs ends. We hold ranges from 150 x 150 cm up to 150 x 300 cm — more than four times the surface area of conventional large formats.
These architectural-scale slabs open up design possibilities that smaller formats can’t: seamless surfaces that flow between rooms, dramatic feature walls, book-matched patterns across entire walls, and continuous flooring that changes the whole character of a space.
Every extra-large slab in our warehouse is held in UK stock, ready to ship in 4-6 working days. No wait for factory production. No minimum quantities. No import delays.
How We Price Below Showroom Retail
Our model is direct and lean. We import stock directly from Italy rather than sourcing through UK distributors, we operate from a single warehouse in Chatteris rather than showrooms across the country, and we sell online rather than through commissioned showroom staff.
That structure — direct imports, lean overheads, focused online operation — lets us hold the same premium Italian ranges as UK showrooms at prices that sit meaningfully below what most buyers are quoted through traditional retail channels.
We sell only perfect goods. No seconds. No damaged stock. Every tile that leaves our Chatteris warehouse is first-quality product, held to the same standards you’d expect from any premium supplier.
How Ordering Works
- Browse the range and order free samples. Up to 5 tile samples delivered free to any UK address in 2-3 working days. Our specialists review every sample request before dispatch to make sure the tiles you’ve chosen suit your project.
- See samples in your own space. Photographs flatten colour and showroom lighting doesn’t match your room. Live with the samples for a few days before deciding.
- Book a free 20-minute consultation if you’d like advice. One of our tile specialists will help narrow the options for your project. Phone or video, no obligation, no sales pitch.
- Place your order. Every product on the site is held in UK stock — orders ship in 4-6 working days across mainland UK. Complimentary warehouse storage for up to two months if you’re not ready to receive delivery immediately.
Why Designers and Architects Work With Us
Professionals working on premium residential and commercial projects come to Emporio Surfaces because the combination of factors they need is unusual in the UK market: real depth of stock in premium Italian ranges, immediate UK delivery on extra-large formats, direct pricing without distributor markup, and specialist advice from a team that knows the ranges properly.
Our large format slabs have supported dramatic feature walls, continuous flooring, and bookmatched wall installations across residential renovations and commercial fit-outs. When a project requires surfaces that perform technically as well as they look, we deliver — from stock, in the UK, without the lead times that specifying direct from Italy usually involves.
Emporio Surfaces is owned and operated by Porcelain Tiles Ltd. Our warehouse is at 3-5 Prospect Way, Chatteris PE16 6TZ.
