Randy is the founding partner in Tilano.net, established in 1997. Tilano was born from the daily operations of Distinct Interiors where Randy was getting creative making use of left over materials, Fresco wall samples for interior design clients.
One day, Randy decide to transfer images on to the Fresco samples, thus Tilano Fresco tiles were created. The Tilano brand of decorative tiles are now sold throughout Canada and the United States in over 650 retail stores. “Helping people like you, do something great with your pictures, simply by transferring them” is the company mantra. Since 2002, Randy has been sharing his decorative secrets in making custom fresco tiles and allowing the customer to create their own works of art. “I describe Tilano Fresco as the image transfer process you do at home.” Each of our products empowers the customer with the opportunity to transfer their personal photographs and images onto various surfaces, giving them an incredible fresco effect without ruining the original print.
