Description

Tiles Used
Two complementary colours from the Tumulus 1 range were used throughout.
Outcome
John Lewis, which opened its doors in September 2015, sits above New Street Train Station and is a sizable part of the £750m redevelopment of Grand Central and was one of the brands largest developments.
The four level department store has a strikingly modern design and offers many new services and concepts, including a fashion and lifestyle department and the first John Lewis branded spa.
Solus, who have a long-standing relationship with the well-loved brand, supply tiles to all of their new and refurbished stores around the UK, and were delighted to once again work with John Lewis on this project.
The Birmingham based tile supplier, provided more than 20,000m2 of floor tiles to the expansive store, with the material being used in almost every shopping zone. 600x600mm tiles were selected from the Tumulus 1 range, which were chosen due to the rich colouration and excellent technical properties. Two colours were used, with the complementary shades providing distinctive zoning between different departments and concessions.
The Tumulus 1 range, which is inspired by crisp and clean polished concrete, is available in 10 neutral and natural themed colours and provides a solid level of slip resistance.
