Architectural Elegance: Artisan Melford Crackle Glaze Brick Tile

Add the perfect finishing touch to your interior with the Artisan Melford Crackle Glaze Brick Tile from Original Style.

Designed to beautifully complement the Artisan collection, this elegant ceramic brick tile features a soft, off-white Melford colourway finished with a highly sought-after Crackled Glaze. Renowned for its meticulously handcrafted appeal, the distinctive crazing imparts a softly aged look and wonderful tactile character to your walls. The classic 225x75mm metro brick profile is extremely versatile; lay them horizontally to make a room feel wider, vertically to create the illusion of higher walls, or in a classic herringbone pattern for a timeless statement.

Engineered from premium ceramic, these tiles are specifically suited for internal wet and dry wall applications. Their timeless shape makes them an absolute favourite choice for refining country kitchen splashbacks, elegant bathrooms, or statement feature walls. Supplied in practical boxes of 10.
