The primal significance of a fire is far stronger than its physical presence - why else do we continue to build and restore hearths in an age of central heating? Fire appeals to our deepest emotions, particularly when contemplated from the comfort of a cosy armchair.

Few things equal the atmosphere of a warm, friendly fireplace during the cold, winter months. A key feature of period homes is the fireplace. The importance it played in the life of the family is attested to by the quality of the materials and the rich detailing (carving, ceramic tiles) that were employed in its manufacture.

The Olde English range of hearth tiles consists of 150x75mm & 150x150mm plain tiles in a wide variety of vivid colours as well as matching embossed and tube-lined tiles which can be hand-painted to your requirements. We also have an extensive range of Victorian and Edwardian transfer decorated feature tiles available in 150x150mm plus matching 150x25mm strips.

** Available in the heritage glaze colour palette (see Plain Wall Tiles).

*** Available in extensive hand painted colour range.
