Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Original Style Artisan 225mm Crackle Brick tiles suitable for floors?

No. The Artisan collection is exclusively designed and engineered for interior wall applications. The ceramic body and delicate crackle glaze finish do not possess the structural thickness, durability, or slip resistance required to safely withstand foot traffic on residential floors.

Do these crackle glaze tiles require sealing?

Yes. Because the Artisan Crackle tiles feature intentional crazing (fine, delicate cracks in the top glaze), they must be thoroughly sealed with a crackle glaze impregnator before fixing, and ideally once again after grouting. This prevents grout pigments and everyday moisture from penetrating the cracks and discolouring the ceramic body.

Can I use the Artisan Crackle collection in a shower enclosure?

Yes, with careful installation. They are perfectly suitable for shower walls and wet areas (Wet Wall), provided they have been meticulously sealed prior to grouting and are installed with a highly water-resistant adhesive and grout. You must maintain the sealant layer over time to ensure water does not penetrate the crackle glaze in high-splash zones.

What layouts work best with the 225x75mm format?

The elongated 225x75mm format is incredibly versatile. A classic staggered horizontal brick-bond will naturally make a room feel wider. Stacking them vertically (either straight or staggered) draws the eye upwards, making ceilings appear taller. Alternatively, they look exceptional when laid in a traditional herringbone pattern for a dynamic, highly architectural focal point.

How do I clean and maintain these crackle-glazed tiles?

Maintenance requires a gentle approach to protect the delicate glaze. Simply wipe the tiles down regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, pH-neutral bathroom or kitchen cleaner. You must absolutely avoid harsh bleach, acidic cleaners, or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the protective sealant and permanently damage the crackle glaze.

English Heritage Inspiration

The Original Style Artisan Crackle collection is specifically designed for those who wish to infuse their home with the tranquil, grounded atmosphere of the English countryside and historic interiors. The tiles are defined by their beautifully muted heritage colour palette, offering an immediate sense of calm and historic warmth that feels deeply authentic to classical English design.

The Crackle Glaze Effect

One of the defining features of this collection is its stunning, vintage-inspired surface. The tiles feature a specialized glazed finish that purposefully develops variable crazing—delicate, organic hairline cracks within the glaze itself. This crackle effect adds incredible historic depth and visual texture to your installation, perfectly mimicking the softly aged look of antique ceramics. Because of this intentional crazing, the tiles must be carefully sealed to protect the delicate glaze.

Contemporary Elongated Format

The 225x75mm elongated brick format provides a highly adaptable, contemporary twist on the standard metro tile. This extended profile is exceptionally versatile and serves as the ultimate choice for creating striking, highly architectural herringbone patterns. When laid horizontally, they gracefully elongate walls to make rooms feel wider, and when stacked vertically, they naturally draw the eye upwards to enhance the feeling of height in smaller bathrooms and kitchens.

Installation & Care Tips

To achieve the best possible finish with your crackle glaze tiles, we strongly recommend unpacking and blending tiles from multiple boxes prior to fixing to ensure the glaze variations are evenly distributed. You must seal these tiles with a high-quality crackle glaze protector or impregnating sealer before fixing and again before grouting. This crucial step prevents the grout pigment and everyday moisture from staining the delicate crazing. For ongoing maintenance, simply wipe the surface down regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner, avoiding any harsh or abrasive chemicals.
