How Our Photo Tiles are Made
We produce our photo tiles with a dye sublimation imprinting process. The term sublimation refers to the transition of a substance from a solid state directly to a gas when subjected to heat and pressure.
We use quality hardboard, ceramic tiles, and aluminum panels treated with a durable polymer coating. Images are printed with special sublimation transfer inks onto transfer paper and then infused into the tile using a heat press.
The process creates a vivid, permanent, waterproof image.

How Our Photo Tiles Can Be Used
You can use our hardboard photo tiles as magnets and mini framed gifts. Our ceramic photo tiles can be used as coasters, trivets, or as decorative pieces. You can also use them as wall tile in shower and backsplash applications.
(Note: In most instances our photo tiles are resilient, but they are vulnerable to scratches from sharp objects and fading from direct sunlight or continuous high temps. Use an unsanded grout for traditional interior applications and avoid permanent outdoor installations.)

Cocktail Table Specs
Size
Our cocktail tables are are available in two sizes: coffee table or end-table height. They stand approximately 17-inches or 27-inches tall with an 8-inch square base and a 12-inch square top. The tile inlay is sized approximately 6.25 x 6.25 x .25 inches to fit our 6×6-inch tiles.
Due to the handcrafted nature of our tables, dimensions may vary slightly from one table to the next.
We are happy to consider special size requests. Contact us with inquiries.
How Our Cocktail Tables Are Made
Unless otherwise noted, our tables are handcrafted with locally sourced hardwoods. We primarily use poplar or maple for painted components and other hardwood varieties for natural and stained components.
We apply quality furniture paint or stain and three coats of Minwax® clear satin Polycrylic™ by hand for a durable finish.
How our cocktail tables can be used
Our cocktail tables are small, handy and stylish. They can be used as drink tables, plant stands and side tables–or simply as a unique way to display art. Their size makes it easy to move them from one room to another as needed.
Our cocktail tables are intended for interior use. However, outdoor tables are available by special order.
