A grey-toned flagstone is the perfect in-between shade for people who want something lighter than sandstone but not so dark as slate. Our Branscombe floor tiles are made from natural limestone so you can expect character traits such as delicate veining, speckles and spots, and slightly marbled colour. We love them most in a kitchen or hallway.

The finish
Tumbling these tiles with pebbles, sand and water gives them a finish that’s velvety smooth, but still shows their natural texture. You’ll see patches that are paler and open textured, a bit like the veins in marble. Like all limestone, Branscombe’s warm underfoot, but you can use it with underfloor heating too.
Where we see it
While Branscombe’s just right in a traditional country kitchen, you can also make it look more modern by teaming it with grey or darker shades, such as our deep brown Walnut paint. It’s also lovely with our seasoned oak furniture.
Our stone tiles are one of the only designs we don’t deliver ourselves. Instead, they’ll come straight to you from our specialist partner. Rest assured we’ll still handle the booking process for you though. And when you place your order in store or over the phone, we’ll let you know the cost of delivery based on your location and the size of your order.
Care & need to knows
Care guide
Vacuum with a brush attachment or sweep regularly to remove loose grit and dirt.
Clean with pH neutral cleaners only so you don’t erode the sealant.
Need to know
Instructions for installation are provided on delivery.
All our stone floors must be sealed after installation and before grouting.
Apply a second coat of sealant after grouting.
Natural stone tiles will require resealing. Depending on foot traffic, we recommend doing this around every three years or when water starts to seep into the stone rather than pool on top.
We recommend using Lithofin Stainstop to seal and reseal your tiles.
Stone and earthenware flooring can be fragile when cut or trimmed. We recommend allowing for 10% wastage when it comes to installing these tiles.
