A pale, sand-coloured tumbled limestone (less grey than Chilham and slightly less dappled, but with fine grey veining). Tedbury is available in two sizes – square and rectangular – which you can use alone or mix. It’s also suitable for using with underfloor heating and in bathrooms.
Design & engineering
A little more about limestone
Limestone is a natural rock made up partly from fossilised sea creatures. It’s mostly used in buildings as it’s strong but easy to work with – the famous Bath and Cotswold stones are limestone (ours is similar, just paler and less yellow).
The finish
Tumbling these tiles with pebbles, sand and water gives them a finish that’s velvety smooth – and not shiny – but that still shows their natural texture. You’ll see patches that are paler and open textured, a bit like the veins in marble.
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.
