Stone cut from quarries the Romans knew, rich varieties of primaeval slate from Africa and South America, Spanish terracotta - all of them a direct link back to ancient civilisations that formed our world's architectural past.
More than two decades ago, (a pin-prick by comparison but an important pin-prick), we began our search for what we knew must exist and started to import these wonderful materials to create the foundations of our floor tile collection (and the expertise) which is still second to none.
For instance, recently we discovered a number of striking new slates, quartz and limestones, to add yet another exclusive seam of choice for you to consider. All this, combined with the advances made in ceramic tiles, their versatility and practicality, underline Fired Earth's pre-eminence in the floor tile market.
