Tiles: Support for the specifier

Prospec is a web-based support service for architects, interior designers and building professionals involved in commercial projects who want to specify tiles. It is provided by specialist tile retailer The Tile Warehouse based at Nottingham, whose development director, Joe Lockwood, says: "Natural stone is the new black." Prospec is designed to help specifiers increase their knowledge and understanding of ceramic and natural stone tiles, as well as giving them easy access to a portfolio of commercial tiles and stone. The website provides online information about all aspects of the ceramic tile market from technical specifications and a catalogue of products, through to technical articles to provide solutions to specification problems.
