RAK Ceramics has strengthened its position as a leading project partner following the completion of the landmark Queensgate development in central Birmingham.
The prestigious mixed-use scheme, delivered by DRG Interior and Building Solutions, has transformed a former nightclub and office complex near the Mailbox into 67 luxury apartments with commercial office space spread across seven floors. Known for high-quality refurbishments with a low environmental footprint, DRG selected RAK Ceramics to supply every bathroom element for the development.
The appointment continues an eight-year partnership between the two companies, built on a shared commitment to quality, efficiency and design excellence. DRG says RAK Ceramics’ understanding of its standards and ways of working has been vital to delivering projects smoothly and reducing risk across the build cycle.
Stacy Cox, Buyer at DRG Interior and Building Solutions, said: “Being a preferred supplier means RAK Ceramics understands our requirements, quality benchmarks and ways of working, which makes working together smooth and efficient. This trusted partnership reduces risks and ensures that every project starts with a strong foundation.”
For Queensgate, RAK Ceramics supplied a comprehensive suite of bathroom products, including baths, concealed shower valves, basins, mixers, back-to-wall pans, concealed cisterns and illuminated mirrors. Key ranges installed included RAK-Petit, RAK-Series 600 and RAK-Variant, chosen for their durability, design versatility and premium aesthetic.
Cox added: “The quality of RAK Ceramics’ products has always been a decisive factor in choosing them. Their wide range of tiles and sanitaryware is known for durability, design versatility and premium finishes that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. Quality assurance is critical to the success of our projects, and RAK’s products consistently deliver excellence.”
She also highlighted the company’s strong service and logistics performance, noting reliable lead times, proactive communication and responsive support throughout the build. “This efficiency allows us to plan and execute projects seamlessly, avoiding unnecessary delays and ensuring that deadlines are met. Their service approach reinforces them not only as a supplier but as a dependable project partner.”
Queensgate marks the latest in a series of high-spec residential schemes delivered through the long-standing partnership between DRG and RAK Ceramics, further positioning the brand as a first-choice supplier for premium developments across the UK.
