A method of producing a patterned tile (19) comprises cutting a plain tile (12) from a sheet of plasticised P.V.C. material (10), printing a pattern on the tile, coating the patterned tile (15) with a radiation curable lacquer to form a wear layer and curing the lacquer. The tile (12) is located in the printing machine (13) by locating means (14) so that the pattern is printed in register with the tile. The apparatus for producing a tile by this method comprises a tile cutting machine (11), a dry offset or indirect letterpress printing machine (13), a curtain coating machine (16) and an ultra-violet radiation lacquer curing machine (18).
