The brands we stock

Most of what we sell carries our own name, because it is made to our specification. These four do not — they are manufacturers in their own right, and it is worth knowing which is which.

Ape Grupo

Ape Grupo is a Spanish ceramic manufacturer, and Spain is where most of the porcelain sold in Britain is made. What arrives here under that name is large-format porcelain in marble, onyx and stone effects — the tiles that do the work in a hallway or a bathroom and are meant to still be there in twenty years.

Berry Alloc

Berry Alloc is a Belgian flooring manufacturer and part of the Beaulieu International Group. On this site the name is attached to the Wall & Water panel range — the product that solves the wall of a bathroom the way a floor solves its floor.

VarioClic

VarioClic is the laminate brand of Yıldız Entegre, a Turkish wood-panel manufacturer. It is the name behind most of the 8 mm laminate on this site — and until now it appeared nowhere on its own product pages except in the filename of the photograph.

BML

BML is the name on the rigid-core SPC flooring in this catalogue. We publish no company history for it, because we have not verified one — what follows is about the product, which we can describe from its specification.
