These are exciting times for AFO Tiling Specialists Ltd – your premier choice for stunning tiles and impeccable craftsmanship – which continues to go from strength to strength after a very successful first decade in business.
Specialising in domestic, industrial and commercial wall and floor tiling, the company has firmly established itself among the leading tiling contractors in Ireland, offering high quality tiling solutions for all types of properties. From humble beginnings in 2014, AFO Tiling Specialists has grown to employ five people directly who are supported and supplemented by the same tried and trusted subcontractors, has 10 vans on the road and relocated to a new state-of-the-art premises in Ratoath, Co. Meath last year. It became a limited company in 2019.
AFO is an acronym for Adrian Cotuti and his brothers-in-law Florence and Otniel Strambu who set up the business after moving to Ireland from Romania in 2008. Combining years of experience, they add lavish looks and durability to every project for the ultimate luxury experience.
Also offering a comprehensive repairs / replacement and design service, they can supply and fit tile and floor finishing for any project, whether it be a private house, housing development, office block, hotel or restaurant.
“We have the skills and expertise to work across a broad range of sectors,” Adrian explains.
“Every project is completed to the highest standards with top-class finishing. We pride ourselves on our outstanding workmanship, attention to detail, customer service, value-for-money and versatility. Our reputation is built on the quality of our work. No job is too big or too small.
“We have experience in all types of tiles, including ceramic, marble, mosaic, travertine and porcelain, and are always willing to go the extra mile for our valued customers.
“We provide solutions that are fast, efficient and designed to exceed client expectations.”
AFO Tiling Specialists’ quality workmanship and ability to complete the most challenging of tiling projects on time and within budget is borne out by the high volume of repeat business and referrals it receives from scores of satisfied clients. By employing highly-skilled people, working closely with customers and using only the very best tiling products, this fully insured contractor is able to deliver exceptional results.
“Anything to do with tiles, we can do it. Whatever our clients want, we can provide a complete service, from designing their dream bathroom to helping them select the tile that best suits their taste and requirements,” the company director continues.
“We can renovate and redo old bathrooms to the highest standard. We cater for wet rooms, free-standing baths, showers and so on. We are happy to take on projects of any complexity. The quality of our work speaks for itself.”
AFO Tiles Specialists’ main suppliers are Project Tiles & Bathrooms, TileStyle and Lacey’s. All three are leading names in the sector who stock a wide range of premium tiles, grouts and adhesives for domestic and commercial spaces that combine durability with stunning design.
Furthermore, the company enjoys an excellent working relationship with main contractors such as Sorohan Builders, Colin Reilly Ltd and Arc Construction who it collaborates with on housing developments. One of AFO Tile Specialists’ most high-profile commercial projects was the Clayton Hotel in Limerick.
Adrian is full of praise for his staff and subcontractors.
“Our people are our greatest asset. They are excellent, patient and meticulous, being equipped to complete every job to the highest standards and leaving our customers very happy with the results. Both our direct employees and subcontractors have been very loyal to us. We pay them well. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic when the restrictions meant they weren’t allowed to work, they were well looked after.”
Originally operating out of Blanchardstown, the tiling specialist is now based in nearby Ratoath where it plans to open an office and showroom in the near future. The new premises will facilitate its continued growth in the coming years.
Delivering the highest standards on tiling projects nationwide, Adrian, Florence and Otniel would like to take this opportunity to thank their clients and suppliers for their continued support as well as their employees and subcontractors for their hard work, dedication and expertise.
