That's a great question! To begin with, Trikeenan tiles are "handmade" in a small factory in western New York. Handmade tiles are produced with materials and methods that do not yield ultra-precise products. Translated, that means tiles, glaze batches, and kiln firings will be one of a kind. You may notice it in the way the edges and corners feel from being cracked apart. Best of all, you will see it in the depth of range found in Trikeenan's glazes. The process of hand mixing and hand spraying combined with the tile placement in our electric and gas kilns produce extraordinary variations within one color.

Once the tiles and shapes are dried, they are then placed in our kilns where the glaze & body become one. This process allows the body to be transformed into a fully vitrified state providing a very dense and durable tile form. Each order is packaged and shipped with care by a team of qualified individuals. Trikeenan Tileworks values every opportunity to service our customers and it our mission to provide you with great service, quality products and superior shipping standards.

Trikeenan Tileworks vision to create innovative ceramic tiles began more than 20 years ago, in 1989, and our passion to inspire great designs with the beauty of handcrafted ceramic tiles is now a reality. To this day, Trikeenan's products are all manufactured in the USA. We produce our charming tiles while meeting strict US environmental standards. Ceramic tile and brick are some of the longest lasting surfaces for floors and walls. Tile and brick are also made from naturally occurring, sustainable materials like clay and calcium carbonate.

Trikeenan Tileworks exemplifies the definition of "unique" with our sense of creativity, style and intriguing colours. We are dedicated to producing a variety of handmade tile with a commitment to provide our customers with a beautiful mix of both historic and modern styles. As our products are hand made in small quantities it is the variation in size, color, shape and texture that make our products unique and blend so well together. With each glaze recipe and production process we perform, we use raw materials that are non-toxic for our employees to work with and utilize processes that incorporate a method of which to recycle defective, unused, or wasted materials back into the production processes.

Trikeenan Tileworks started manufacturing handcrafted ceramic tile in 1989. Located in Hornell, NY, all of our products are made in the USA. Our rich history of creating unique colours with age-old processes has given Trikeenan the leading edge in the ceramic tile industry. The proprietary glazes and firing techniques produce a spectrum of colour effects that are both brilliant and subtle. Each product series brings forth originality and wonder. Design possibilities are endless with the range of sizes, shapes & colour selections.
