Tiles bring heritage charm to new home

Having chosen traditional Surrey yellow bricks for the walls of the home, James wanted warm-colored tiles that would complement and enrich its appearance. Drawing on his knowledge of conservation construction, he chose the Albury tile from our Rosemary Clay Craftsman range. The orange-red sanded tiles are dappled with black patterning, flawlessly imitating the appearance of well-weathered tiles. To take full advantage of their luxurious appearance and to reflect other local buildings, the tiles are also used vertically on the eaves of the property.

Whilst they may look well worn, the tiles have all the strength and solidity you would expect from a brand-new product, protecting both the rooms and the insulation layer below. As James explains, they outperformed even his expectations: “I always order additional tiles to make up for breakages and in this case, there were loads left over because they simply didn’t break.”
