A pinwheel tiling is made up of right triangles of sides 1, 2 and \(\sqrt{5}\). Given a pinwheel tiling, the authors construct a fractal which is then used to construct new tiles (with fractal boundary) that are called \textit{fractiles}. A complete list of all the possible fractiles is given (13 different ones) and some of their properties are investigated.
