1Welcome To Tile Factory Outlet
Melbourne Tiles
2Wish 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 Its 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 Crema Marfil 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
Pickerings 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.
4About Us
- Ten years ago Luke Johnson started working in the
tile industry at Laws 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 Ceramica Refin 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.
Armans unique approach has helped the business
grow dramatically. - Lukes 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
