Melbourne Tiles

1. Welcome To Tile Factory Outlet Melbourne Tiles

2. Wish TFO was in Melbourne? Tile Factory Outlet welcomes all customers, we get customers from all over Australia. Recently we have been getting many from Melbourne. Yet still, many think that It’s all too hard and buy from their overpriced  Melbourne based store. The information below is designed to assist you in deciding to select tiles from TFO Sydney and then get them down to you with the minimum fuss. For our Melbourne customers we have a special option, we will give you the contact of one of our directors, Len Franco. Len has been in the tile industry for over 40 years. He has an Italian heritage and specializes in Italian tiles, Italian Carrara, Spanish CremaMarfil and Turkish travertine. His number is 0413 308 234. He will walk you through your order from start to finish. The best thing to do is call him, he will help you decide on what your best options are and how much you will save.

3. Another customer bought for a small job on the western side of Melbourne. He bought 100m2 of Italian porcelain. It was not worth his while to fly up for just 2 pallets of porcelain tiles. He requested a small 200x200mm tile sample. The Italian tile was worth about $80m2 locally. However, he bought it at TFO for $35m2. The saving was circa $4,500 before transport. He used Pickering’s transport to the Sunshine depot, then he picked it up from there, they charged him $350, it would have been a hundred or so more delivered to site but he was trying to save and picked it up in his ute (2 trips)(Delivery info). So that was a total saving of over $4,000. Freight for him worked out at $3.50m2, (nothing compared to the saving) • May I suggest you order 12% for cutting instead of 10% for porcelain tiles and 15% for natural stone, just in case a couple of tiles break on the 800km journey. Apart from that, we see no down side. Why not find out more by calling Len on 0413308234.

4. About Us Ten years ago Luke Johnson started working in the tile industry at Law’s Auctions. He quickly saw the possibility of starting a tile division within the strong Laws Auction home improvement and building material section. This idea turned out to be the perfect fit, with tile sales growing from just 1000m2 in the first week to 4000m2 per week by the end of the first month. This division grew to be the largest tile auction in Australia selling 13000m2 per week. During this phase, it became apparent to Luke that the Australian consumer wanted a range of high quality polished porcelains and other top quality ceramics without having to pay outlandishly high retail prices. During this period, Luke gained lots of experience in purchasing and selling tiles.  Then in 2005 Luke joined Len Franco, a very experienced and well known importer/wholesaler, in starting upTile Factory Outlet.  TFO is a model based on high volumes with low prices, with the tag line “tiles at auction prices without the hammer”. This again was exactly what the market sought, good quality products together with product information at the lowest prices, without the pressure and stress of an auction. TFO hit the market with instant success, offering the best range of low cost high quality tiles. Luke propelled TFO from a standing start to sales of over 3000m2 per week within just 1 year, and currently around 15000m2 per week! TFO specializes in brands such as Monalisa, RAK ceramics and CeramicaRefin along with many others. Selling high volumes with very low margins, with customers saving up to 70% off retail prices. In 2009 Luke and Len re-located the business to 107 Warren Road (Cumberland Hwy), Smithfield, a highly visible and easy to get to location. Then in 2011, Arman Aminzadeh joined TFO and he quickly saw the potential and the direction of TFO.  With a background in business and management, Arman has over 10 years experience in the tile industry – including having worked with some of the largest tile companies in Australia.  Arman’s unique approach has helped the business grow dramatically. Luke’s vision for TFO is to capture more market share, and supported by Len and Arman, TFO is fast becoming the biggest tile clearance center in Sydney. People come from all over Australia to save money and organizing freight can be as easy as a quick phone call. Luke, Len and Arman, are continuously working towards the same goal in providing the best products at unbeatable prices.  They want to keep expanding the range, sourcing the best products from around the world, and bringing them to the Australian marketplace at prices that consumers cannot ignore. They encourage consumers to shop around as they are confident that they will not find better value for money. TFO staff have over 100 years of combined tile experience, this includes colour consultants, interior designers, importers and salespeople from the industry. We accommodate a wide range of languages, English, Italian, German, Chinese, Cambodian, Thai, Laotian, Vietnamese, Kurdish and Persian. Call in today to see the extensive range of Polished Porcelain, Glazed Porcelain, Ceramics, Travertine, Natural Stones, Stackstone and Bathware.
