Has anyone bought terracotta tiles from here?

Hi thanks for the info. Yeah, the sample was rubbish, looked like it had tiny glitter in it. We're gonna use old reclaimed bricks, I have enough for just over half the room. On the lookout for some more, if not I may use some from a reclamation yard, but that will be dear. Or, as I don't have to buy as many, I may go for a better, rustic looking terracotta. I'll have a look in B&Q, but TBH they always seem overpriced to me.

if you cut the faces of to 20mm you will have twice as many like this

Hi there,
I thought of doing that. It would mean hiring a diamond saw, but to be honest, most of the bricks have only one decent face so I'd end up with not that many more and loads of rubble to get rid of! The brick floor in the picture is lovely. I was told to butt the bricks up tight, but that would make pointing impossible, and as they are old the edges aren't exactly straight either.

would just be like a terracotta tile if they were cut even if just one face easier to lay than full bricks like the picture leave a joint and grout them

Sorry, I'm probably being thick, but what are double cuts?

if you cut the brick say into 4 pieces
