TILES
Tiles can vary widely in colour and appearance due to age and origin, they can also weather differently depending on the surroundings. As with many reclaimed materials it is best to view the items in person. Handmade nib tiles are commonly 10½"x6½" with a creased texture and rustic look. Handmade peg tiles are generally smaller in size and a little more irregular. Both types can range from orange through to black. Machine made nib tiles are almost always 10½"x6½" with a pressed, compacted consistency and a sharper crisper look, they can have either a smooth or slightly sanded surface and a range of colours. We also stock various shaped tiles. |

SLATES
Slates can range from pale blue through purple to black and come in various sizes. They can start at 16"x8" and go up to 24"x12", with the most common size being 20"x10". |
