Description

Industrial Heritage: Quarry Black

Ground your space with the bold, enduring character of the Quarry Black Square Tile—a robust, Spanish-made tile that brings a deep, industrial edge to the traditional quarry floor.

Designed to emulate the famous Ruabon quarry tiles, the **Quarry Black** offers a sophisticated twist with its deep charcoal tones and earthy, natural texture. Made from a rich dark brown clay, it delivers a "soft black" hue rather than a stark artificial jet black, adding warmth and depth to any room. Engineered for high-traffic areas, this tile is incredibly hardwearing, making it the ultimate choice for busy boot rooms, hallways, and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Sealing is Essential: Quarry tiles are porous. They must be sealed to protect against staining. Boiled Linseed Oil is traditionally used to darken the clay to a rich black-brown, but modern stone impregnators (like Lithofin MN Stain Stop) also work well.
  • Grout Width: A wider grout joint of **6mm** is recommended to accommodate the traditional manufacturing tolerances of quarry tiles.
  • Grout Colour: We recommend a **Dark Grey** or **Black** grout to keep the focus on the tile and make cleaning easier.
  • Colour Note: These tiles are made from a deep brown clay to create an "earthy toned black." They are not a jet black. We strongly recommend ordering a sample to see the true colour.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Are these tiles jet black?

No, they are described as an "earthy toned black." They are made from a very deep brown clay which gives them a softer, charcoal-black appearance rather than a stark artificial black. Sealing with Boiled Linseed Oil will darken them further.

Do they need sealing?

Yes. Quarry tiles are porous clay and must be sealed to protect against stains. This also helps to enrich the colour. We recommend Lithofin MN Stain Stop or traditional Boiled Linseed Oil.

Can I use them outside?

Absolutely. Quarry Black tiles are frost-resistant and have a naturally textured surface that provides good slip resistance, making them ideal for garden paths and patios.

Are they suitable for a hearth?

Yes. Quarry tiles are heat resistant and are a traditional choice for fireplace hearths. The dark colour is particularly practical for hiding soot marks. Install at least 30cm away from the direct heat source.
