Product story
Timeworn Elegance: Cathedral Antique 20 x 40cm
An aged natural limestone in a versatile 20 x 40cm brick format — Cathedral Antique from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.
Cathedral Antique captures the soft, walked-in beauty of an old ecclesiastical floor — mellow neutral tones, tumbled edges and gentle surface pitting that tell of centuries of wear. The 20 x 40cm rectangle lends itself beautifully to brick-bond and herringbone layouts.
Quarried from solid limestone, it is a porous natural stone that must be sealed. Correctly protected, it performs across internal and external floors and walls and wears ever more gracefully with time.

Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.
Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

Installation & Care Tips
Installation & care
- Sealing (essential): This is porous natural limestone. Seal with a quality impregnating stone sealer before grouting and again after laying, and reseal periodically to guard against staining.
- Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a flexible white or natural stone adhesive and a soft, tonal grout. Avoid acidic or strongly cementitious grouts, which can mark limestone.
- Cleaning: Sweep and mop with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Never use vinegar, bleach or abrasive products, which will etch and dull the stone.
