What's New in the Pratt & Larson Outlet Store?

There's loads of great new stuff in the outlet! 
Colorful field tiles in useful quantities and of course, at terrific prices.

 

There's even some accessories in much sought after whites and neutrals.  


Alex has been busy resorting the field tile by color group. It makes it easier to find what you're looking for, and creates some beautiful color blends in the process. 
So come by soon and see what's new!

What's New in the Pratt and Larson Outlet Store?

The outlet is full great stuff right now and there's tons of it (literally!) The key to creating a great project from the Outlet Store is to check back frequently. You never know what you'll find!
Here's just a tiny sampling of what's here now, but it changes quickly so stop by soon.

There's loads of field tile in great shapes, sizes and colors

including these outrageous gold 6x12's!

There are boxes and boxes of mosaics waiting to be blended into fabulous combinations and patterns.

and at a great price!

If you don't feel inclined to make your own mosaic table there's this great green striped one all ready to go and 40% of the sale benefits Mercy Corps!


Very vintage pink and purple hex and subway, use one color or both! 

 These Tempest Tileworks murals look great with a P&L textured border for a frame.

And there's loads of accessories to finish your job with all the right details.

Stop by the Showroom to find the perfect pieces for your next project.

Pratt & Larson Outlet Store Projects

New tile is always turning up in the Outlet Store. Some times it's material that didn't come out quite the right color, sometimes it's discontinued tile, or a sample run, or an overrun... and it's not all ones and twos! Sometimes quite a bit of material turns up in the Outlet all at once. Once in a while you can find enough material to do your whole project in one go, and other times you have to come back again and again to find the last few pieces you need. What to do with those beautiful tiles you scored at the Outlet? Here's a few great pictures by some very talented people who were nice enough to share. 

First up is an amazing laundry/bath floor by Megan Klepp of Ta-Dah. 
Dots Dots and more Dots! 
The work in progress


It's tiring work!
 Here's a totally different style project using broken tile and glass. It's also by Megan at Ta-Dah who sells her fantastic mosaics on her website.  She also offers her services for custom mosaic installation work in case you're not a do-it-yourselfer. Cant wait to see the final pictures from this project!



Sometimes you'll find a large batch of a single tile. Bethany found a ton of our Bas Relief tiles and the color works so nicely with her soap stone counter top.


But even if you don't find quite the right amount of one single tile you can mix and match artfully to create a  blend of colors and no one will know you didn't custom order the whole project. Here's a great example in this bathroom installed by Bill Stanley at Old School Renovations. The blend of neutral colors is tied together so nicely by the darker textured border from our Intaglio series. Visit Old School Renovations website to see more pictures of their remodeling work.

 If you're looking for tile for your project don't forget to check out what's new in the Outlet Store. It changes every day. Be sure to send us pictures of all your tile projects. We love to see them!

The Pratt & Larson Outlet Store

We're having a sale at the Outlet Store! There are some great deals on porcelain and stone tile but the best deal at the Outlet are the handmade tiles.

The tile at the Outlet Store comes from a number of different sources. Most of the tile are seconds from the Pratt & Larson factory. Pratt & Larson manufactures tile right here in Portland, Oregon. (Ask us for a tour sometime!) We make tile for showrooms all across the country and sometimes we make too much of a particular color or a glaze doesn't turn out quite as we intended. Rather than throwing this material away or trying to save it up for another order we send it to the outlet store. When we experiment with new colors or shapes lots of tests and trials are created. They might not have been the test result we were looking for but it might be just the piece you need for your mosaic. 
 
Field Tile is organized by color
Unusual trim pieces


There are sinks too!

We're a creative bunch here and being surrounded with all these great materials inspires some of us to try our hand at making tile. Some of these beautiful creations find their way to the Outlet Store too.



P&L employee creations

Local vendors sometimes bring us their seconds to sell too. We might have some beautiful murals from Tempest Tileworks or colorful recycled glass tile from Stardust Glass. When any of our vendors discontinues a line all the samples are sent to the Outlet so you never know what you might find.

There are lots of reasons to shop at the outlet. Maybe you're working on a big project and have a small budget. Tile at the outlet starts at only $1 a pound. Maybe you have a tight deadline and are looking for a few special pieces you can take home today instead of waiting the usual 4 to 6 weeks. Lots of people use the tile at the outlet for mosaic projects like a garden wall or stepping stones.  New tile arrives at the outlet store every day. If you have a big project to work on you might consider coming back a few times to collect enough material for your job. Our Outlet Store staff are great at designing with the materials on hand and happy to help with ideas for your projects. Come see us soon!
