Specifier Program

The Mittsu Specifier Program is for architects and interior designers specifying Japanese tiles for interior and architectural projects.

The program provides access to samples, trade pricing, technical resources and direct specialist support throughout the specification process.

What members receive

• Complimentary samples ordered through the website
• Trade pricing for suitable projects
• CAD drawings for selected collections
• Access to the Mittsu image library
• Direct support from a senior member of the Mittsu team

Samples are supplied as full tiles or representative sections of tile sheets, allowing colour, glaze, texture and surface variation to be evaluated before specification.

Designed for real specification work

Japanese tiles are defined by material depth, surface variation and kiln-formed glaze character.

Samples allow these qualities to be reviewed under real lighting conditions, helping architects and designers make informed decisions before committing to a finish.

Early discussion of budget, availability and lead time helps ensure the selected tile remains viable through specification, procurement and delivery.

Why specification matters

Authentic Japanese tiles cannot be replicated by printed or mass-produced alternatives.

Substituting another tile during procurement will usually create a different visual and material outcome, and may compromise the original design intent.

How samples work

Complimentary samples are activated automatically when ordering through the website using the same email address registered in the program.

Samples are ordered exclusively through the website using the sample links on each product page.

Please order only what you need for live or developing projects, as some Japanese tile samples are limited and expensive to produce.

Who places the order?

The person who specifies a tile is not always the person who buys it. In a small studio it may be you. In a larger practice it may be a buyer or accountant, and on many projects it is a separate contractor.

Whoever places the order should apply for a Mittsu trade account. Once approved, they can order online at trade prices with the correct VAT for their market, pay by card or by bank transfer against our invoice, and add colleagues to the account.

If you also buy for your own projects, you can join the program and apply for a trade account using the same email address.

Join the Specifier Program

If you are a specifier or buyer working on design projects, complete the form below to join the Mittsu Specifier Program.

Communication is limited and purposeful. We contact specifiers only when there is relevant information to share, typically no more than once per month. Your details are used exclusively in connection with the Specifier Program.

Your registration is complete once you have clicked the confirmation link in the email we send you. Your welcome email follows shortly after.

Already working with Mittsu?

If you have previously specified our tiles or received samples, you may already be part of the program.

If you are unsure, complete the form again using your usual email address to ensure your access remains active.
