UKAA have just received this batch of Genuine Reclaimed Quarry Tiles;
These Terracotta Tiles have a fantastic vibrant colour to them and an excellent patina.
The tiles are all very clean on the top and underneath so are ready for use in any aspect.
We think these would be fantastic used as flooring but are suitable for use in any domain. Previously customers have used our quarry tiles for fireplace/ log burner hearths in replace of the traditional granite hearth or even as detailing in their Garden.
We have hand sorted and hand cleaned each of these tiles and separated into two batches - we have a batch of near perfect tiles and a batch of 'seconds' which all have a number of chips on the face of the tile.

We recently read an article in Countrylife which featured our Copper Planters at the beautiful Sissinghurst Gardens in Kent.
These gardens are owned and maintained by the National Trust; It is among the most famous gardens in Britain.
Within the gardens are our Copper Planters which are very popular in gardening as they tend to deter pests like slugs and snails and conduct heat so the soil heats up in direct sunlight.
These planters are useful for growing plants inside and outside and helping them to grow.

We do have a range of Original Reclaimed Copper Coppers which, in the Victorian times, were used as vessels for boiling water.
