What Are Quarry Tiles?

Quarry tiles are made from natural clay and shale, fired at high temperatures to create a dense, durable material. Unlike other tiles, quarry tiles are unglazed, giving them a natural, earthy appearance. They are known for their strength and resistance to wear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.

Benefits of Quarry Tiles

  • Durability: Quarry tiles are incredibly tough and can withstand heavy foot traffic, making them perfect for both residential and commercial spaces.
  • Slip Resistance: The natural texture of quarry tiles provides excellent slip resistance, making them a safe choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.
  • Low Maintenance: These tiles are easy to clean and require minimal maintenance. A simple sweep and occasional mop are all you need to keep them looking their best.
  • Versatility: Available in a variety of colours and sizes, quarry tiles can complement any design style, from traditional to contemporary.

Uses of Quarry Tiles

Quarry tiles are versatile and can be used in various applications:

  • Kitchens: Their durability and slip resistance make them ideal for kitchen floors.
  • Bathrooms: Quarry tiles are perfect for bathroom floors and walls, providing a non-slip surface that is easy to clean.
  • Outdoor Spaces: Use quarry tiles for patios, walkways, and pool surrounds to create a cohesive and stylish outdoor area.
  • Fireplaces: Their heat resistance makes quarry tiles an excellent choice for fireplace surrounds and hearths.
