Shipping Decorative Tiles from Turkey to Syria, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia

What matters when shipping decorative Iznik-style ceramic tiles

Tile is very heavy, so one small box can pass the weight limit of a single carton; it is charged by weight and the quantity is split across several boxes.

Pattern and quantity

Traditional Iznik tiles are painted in blue, turquoise and red on white, and hand-painted pieces vary slightly. Calculate the area in square metres plus extra for cuts and breakage, and check wall panels are numbered for fitting.

Size, thickness and where it goes

Small decorative tiles suit a kitchen or bathroom backsplash, while large ones are for walls and floors. Ask about thickness and whether a tile is for floors or walls only, since some types are for walls and will not take foot traffic.

Same batch and colour

Tiles are made in batches that can differ slightly in colour, so order the whole quantity in one batch with about ten percent extra for breakage and cutting. If you need more later they may not match the earlier batch exactly.

Breakage and edges

Ceramic tile chips at the edges if it moves inside the carton, so ask for card or cork dividers between pieces and keep boxes on their edge, not flat. Open the parcel on arrival and photograph any breakage straight away.
