Description

Old Iron: Bert & May Plain Porcelain

A beautifully tactile 20 x 20cm plain in a moody charcoal Old Iron plain, the Bert & May Old Iron porcelain tile brings the characterful, hand-made spirit of an encaustic floor to a hard-wearing glazed body – Old Iron from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Bert & May built their reputation on richly pigmented encaustic tiles, and this porcelain interpretation captures that depth of colour with none of the upkeep. Laid as a calm field or paired with a patterned decor from the same range, Old Iron lends warmth and quiet confidence to floors, walls and splashbacks alike.

Crafted in matt glazed porcelain at 20 x 20cm, it is frostproof and specified for internal and external walls and floors, wet rooms and underfloor heating. No sealing required.

  • Premium Durability - Fully vitrified glazed porcelain: frostproof, hard-wearing and suitable for internal and external walls and floors, wet rooms and underfloor heating.
  • Order a Sample - See the colour in your own light first. As an official Fired Earth stockist, we offer free cut samples to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge.
  • Dedicated Delivery - We arrange safe, secure delivery for your project, with free UK delivery on orders over £1,000.
  • Personalised Project Support - Our family-run team can help you calculate quantities: sold per tile, with 25 tiles covering 1m² (each tile 0.04m²).

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a high-quality flexible adhesive and a grout in a soft, tonal shade. For wet and external areas, specify a frost-resistant, exterior-grade system throughout.
  • Layout: Lay with a 2–3mm joint, shuffling tiles from several boxes to balance the natural shade variation across the surface.
  • Cleaning: Sweep and mop with warm water and a mild cleaner. As a glazed porcelain, it needs no sealing and shrugs off splashes, steam and frost.
