You can save a significant amount of money by simply replacing or adding Hot Tiles on the service unit. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, changing the counter Hot Tiles are the best solution for you.
What are Hot Tiles?
A Hot Tile is a gastronorm sized tile which drops in the well of a bain-marie or chilled service counter. Food can either be displayed directly on the tile or in one of our dishes placed on top of the tile. The Hot Tile absorbs the ambient temperature of the counter, so it doesn’t require any power, just simply plug-in and go.
A Hot Tile can bring a bright, bold and eye-catching platform to your service counter as we have an array of different materials of tiles for you to choose from including: hard wearing ceramic, slate and thermally toughened glass.
Food can be displayed in dishes which are then placed directly onto the tile surface. Our dishes are the perfect accompaniment to go with the Hot Tiles and Hot Trays to achieve a unified stylish appearance. Food can also be displayed directly on the tile.
Our Hot Tiles are slim-line, modern and backed with 18-gauge stainless steel with six rounded feet on the base to keep them firmly in position. The latest “wood” Hot Tile is also available as a tray for a solid top counter and comes with a high heat silicone mat to stop it from moving around. We also have a brand new batik hot tile for a very unique look.


People Buy With Their Eyes
In the catering industry, everything is centred around food presentation. More than ever, people are more inclined to buy something because it’s aesthetically caught someone’s attention. The same applies to food and the quality of the food that it’s served in/on. If delicious food was served on a tile that was chipped or burnt, it could put someone off wanting to eat from it, despite how tasty the food is. However, if food is served on a stylish, modern, clean platform, it can entice someone even more and increase your sales.
Not Just Hot Tiles…
There’s nothing that compares to our Hot Tiles. The unique feature of Hot Tiles is much better than standard tiles as our Hot Tiles are ideal for hot, cold or ambient counters. The tiles drop in the well and absorb the ambient temperature; it’s as simple as that. Our Hot Tiles can be refrigerated and can become cold tiles, too.
More great advantages of our hot tiles are that they require minimal effort to clean and use, they are hardwearing and durable making them a long-lasting display product.
