Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Original Style Artisan Crackle Half 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, 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.

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.

Versatile Half Tile Format

The 130x63mm rectangular half tile format provides a highly adaptable, timeless foundation for any interior. This classic profile is exceptionally versatile and serves as the ultimate choice for creating striking brick-bond feature walls, elegant borders, or pairing with the 130mm field tiles for a bespoke layout. They beautifully complement the wider Artisan trims and mouldings to enhance the architectural feel 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.
