Description
Historic Charm & Versatility: Fired Earth Cathedral Antique 20x40
Create a floor steeped in history and character with Fired Earth Cathedral Antique 20 x 40cm Limestone—a robust natural stone that combines the weathered look of ancient flagstones with a versatile rectangular format.
Part of the renowned Fired Earth Cathedral collection, this tile captures the solemn beauty of ecclesiastical architecture. The surface is "subtly aged", featuring authentic pits, fossil inclusions, and tumbled edges that suggest centuries of wear. The 20x40cm size is particularly sought after for its versatility; it is perfect for creating classic herringbone or brick-bond patterns that draw the eye and add texture to a room. At 1.5cm thick, this frost-resistant stone is durable enough to flow seamlessly from a busy kitchen right out onto a garden terrace or pool surround.

Design Inspiration
🍽️ Rustic Herringbone
The 20x40cm size is ideal for a chunky, rustic herringbone floor. This pattern adds huge visual interest to farmhouse kitchens and hides footprints in high-traffic zones thanks to the varied, pitted texture. Shop kitchen tiles.
🌿 Garden Terraces

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips
- Sealing is Mandatory: Limestone is porous. You must seal these tiles before and after grouting with a quality impregnator (e.g., Lithofin MN Stain Stop). For outdoors, ensure the sealer is suitable for external use.
- Grouting: Due to the surface pits and tumbled edges, we recommend a wide grout joint (approx 5mm). Be careful to clean off excess grout immediately to prevent it from setting in the texture.
- Adhesive: Always use a white flexible adhesive suitable for natural stone (e.g., Keraquick White) to prevent staining from the back.
- Natural Variation: This tile is designed to look old. Expect significant variation in texture, pits, and tone. Always mix tiles from different boxes for a balanced "heritage" look.
