A Timeless Classic: Quarry Red

Rediscover the enduring appeal of heritage flooring with the Quarry Red Square Tile—a robust, Spanish-made tile designed to emulate the famous Ruabon quarry tiles of North Wales.

Celebrated for its rich, earthy tones and unpretentious beauty, the **Quarry Red** tile offers a natural, matt textured finish that works as beautifully in a rustic farmhouse kitchen as it does on a contemporary garden terrace. Crafted for extreme durability, this is a "go-anywhere" tile. Its hardwearing surface can withstand the heaviest footfall, making it the perfect choice for busy hallways, boot rooms, and even outdoor pathways.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Sealing is Essential: Quarry tiles are porous. They must be sealed to protect against staining. Traditionally, Boiled Linseed Oil was used to enhance the colour, but modern impregnating sealers (like Lithofin MN Stain Stop) are also excellent.
  • Grout Width: A wider grout joint of **6mm** is recommended to accommodate the traditional manufacturing tolerances of quarry tiles.
  • Grout Colour: We recommend a **Grey** or **Charcoal** grout, which is practical for floors and contrasts nicely with the red clay.
  • Outdoor Use: Ensure tiles are laid on a solid concrete base with flexible exterior adhesive to prevent frost damage.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Do these tiles need sealing?

Yes. Quarry tiles are made from natural clay and are porous. They require sealing to protect them from dirt and oil. You can use traditional Boiled Linseed Oil to deepen the colour or a modern matt stone impregnator.

Can I use them outside?

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

Are they suitable for a hearth?

Yes. Quarry tiles are heat resistant and are a traditional choice for fireplace hearths. Please ensure they are installed at least 30cm away from the direct heat source.

What is the difference between these and Ruabon tiles?

These tiles are made in Spain and are designed to emulate the classic Ruabon quarry tile, which is no longer in mass production. They offer the same rich red colour and durability as the original Welsh classics.
