Lazarus Tiles is all about documenting and giving vintage Maltese tiles a new life.
Lots of you folks are renovating your homes and often get in touch with questions about how to remove your old cement tiles for reuse, so I thought I’d show you how.

I picked a spot that was super tough - it’s often a lot easier than this but these beauties were very stubborn!
💪🏽
A word of caution - please exercise extreme caution when doing this over beams and xorok (limestone slabs). The tiles spread your weight over them but once you remove them, you could snap them and go straight through. Definitely don’t be hammering away in this way either. Always follow the advice of your architect or builder.

As always, feel free to get in touch with any questions. Happy renovating!

I’ve been working on some orders recently and I’m so glad that they’re destined for so many exciting destinations - California, Sarajevo, Staffordshire, Melbourne, Florence - they’re better travelled than I am.

At the same time I’ve been busy saving as many as I have the time and energy for. It’s tiring, though once cleaned up, it’s so worthwhile.
🤩
Check out some recent finds which have been saved from the landfill and which, after some TLC, are now ready for their new homes all over the world.

Salvaged from Paola, Balluta, Attard and Żurrieq, these gorgeous tiles hail from the north, south, east and west of Malta.

Although a little sad that they’re not in their original homes, they all come from buildings that are undergoing restoration which couldn’t include their retention. Mostly a happy story then, which is always a relief.

Available from LazarusTiles.com or just message me for an appointment at my Msida workshop to see them in person.
