These quarry tiles are manufactured from the proven Etruria Marl clay, which when fired becomes dense, hard wearing and resistant to acids, alkalis, oils, grease and fats. It is the same clay that has stood the test of many decades in the form of Ketley Class A engineering bricks and Dreadnought Roof tiles, still seen in excellent condition in railway bridges, canal locks and roofs across the UK.
The advantages of these tiles include:
We sell other quarry tiles as well that are a little thinner than these and are available with round-edges and double round-edges. Some people confuse quarry tiles with traditional Victorian and Edwardian tiles - similar to ones made by Minton. This is because of their warm, rich red colour and similar finish. We are specialists in these tiles so please pop in or visit the various pages about these tiles to learn more.
