Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Fired Earth Bert & May Plain tiles suitable for outdoors?

Yes. Because they are manufactured from dense, high-quality porcelain, these tiles are naturally frost-resistant and highly durable. This makes them an exceptional choice for exterior applications, allowing you to create stunning garden patios or seamlessly carry your interior kitchen flooring out into your outdoor living spaces.

Do these plain porcelain tiles require sealing?

No. Unlike traditional cement encaustic tiles which are highly porous and require rigorous maintenance, the porcelain collection is completely non-porous. They act as a permanent barrier against moisture and everyday stains, meaning they require absolutely no specialist sealing treatments before or after installation.

Can I use the Plain collection with underfloor heating?

Yes. Premium porcelain acts as an excellent conductor of heat. When installed correctly over a suitable uncoupling membrane using flexible adhesives, the collection is fully compatible with both electric and water-based underfloor heating systems, ensuring your floors remain wonderfully warm all year round.

Can I use these tiles in a shower enclosure?

Absolutely. The non-porous porcelain body makes these tiles entirely water-resistant. When installed with an appropriate waterproof adhesive and grout, they provide a stunning, highly practical, and easy-to-clean surface for shower walls, bathroom floors, and wet rooms.

How do I clean and maintain these encaustic-effect tiles?

Maintenance is beautifully straightforward. Because they naturally repel dirt and moisture, simply wipe or mop the tiles regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, pH-neutral floor or bathroom cleaner to easily remove muddy footprints, kitchen spills, or everyday dust.

Chalky Encaustic Inspiration

The Fired Earth Bert & May Plain Porcelain collection is specifically designed for those who wish to introduce a sense of calm and historic charm into their home. The tiles have been expertly crafted to capture the authentic, milky look of natural pigments. They provide a striking but deeply classic, understated aesthetic that injects immediate character and vintage warmth into minimalist modern builds and characterful period properties alike.

The Signature Colour Palette

To ensure your space perfectly captures your unique interior vision, these plain tiles are available in the beautifully curated signature Bert & May colour palette. Choose the rich, earthy warmth of Cherry, the dramatic contrast of Black, the fresh appeal of Green or Navy, or opt for neutral tones like Pearl and Brighton Stone. These solid colours are explicitly designed to perfectly match the base tones of the iconic patterned tiles, allowing you to create highly bespoke, unified layouts.

Encaustic Effect, Porcelain Practicality

While they beautifully capture the flat, chalky look of traditional handmade encaustic tiles, the Plain collection is manufactured from high-performance porcelain. This means they are completely non-porous, highly resistant to staining, and boast incredible durability. Requiring absolutely zero specialist sealing or rigorous maintenance, they are a phenomenally practical choice for high-traffic hallways, busy family kitchens, and even outdoor patio spaces.

From helping you calculate the exact number of Fired Earth Plain Porcelain tiles you need, to ensuring safe and secure nationwide delivery, our team is always on hand to help bring your timeless interior vision to life.

Installation & Care Tips

To achieve the best possible finish with your porcelain tiles, we strongly recommend unpacking your tiles and physically 'dry laying' your chosen pattern on the floor before mixing any adhesive. This is especially important if you are creating a chequerboard layout or border. Use a high-quality, flexible adhesive and a complimentary grout (a 3mm grout joint is typically recommended). Because they are non-porous porcelain, maintenance is wonderfully simple; just stick to regular sweeping and mopping with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner to keep your floors looking pristine.
