The largest format in the range, this 40 x 60cm flagstone makes a magnificent, sweeping floor for kitchens, hallways and garden rooms. Soft neutral tones, tumbled edges and natural surface character give it the presence of reclaimed cathedral stone.

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.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What pattern should I use for 40x60cm tiles?

The most popular and traditional layout for this size is a "brick-bond" (or offset) pattern, where the vertical joints are staggered by half the width of the tile. This mimics the classic look of historic stone masonry.

Is this tile suitable for outdoors?

Yes. Fired Earth Cathedral Antique is frost resistant and durable, making it perfect for external patios, pathways, and swimming pool surrounds. It allows for a seamless flow from inside to out.

Why does the surface have holes in it?

This is a deliberate feature of the "Antique" finish. The tumbling process highlights the natural pits and voids in the limestone to replicate the wear and tear of centuries-old stone floors.

Is it suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes, absolutely. At 1.5cm thick, this limestone acts as a substantial thermal mass, holding heat efficiently and radiating it into the room.

Is it hard to keep clean?

Once sealed, it is relatively easy to maintain. The textured, pitted surface actually hides dirt and footprints very well. Regular sweeping and mopping with a pH-neutral stone cleaner (like Lithofin Wash & Clean) is all that is required.

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 on a full, solid bed. 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.
