what tiles are these?

[paz]

hi, i'm new here, i'm after any help i can get in trying to find out what tiles we have down at the moment.

we had a flood a couple of weeks back and in drying out some of the tiles have cracked and blown i think.

i've been round to some of the local tile shops and none of them have seen tiles like these for years, so any help in sourcing some would be brilliant.

here's some pics -

you would need to go back 30 years to find them

20 years since I've fixed those Pete, funnily enough I did a limestone floor last year and the existing floor was those Provencale, that I laid 20+ years ago.

so their provencale tiles then, thats something i didnt know, but not getting much luck when i type them into google?

do you know if there's anywhere producing tiles like these nowadays or where i can get the same tiles from, they cover quite a big area, 45 sq ft, but only about 10 have cracked.

i'd be absolutly gutted to lose them as we love them and they fit in perfectly with the house.

again any help much appreciated.

thanks

no where producing them now but you might find a small place that will fire some for you but this will cost

good look around under units/stairs etc, there may be some you can take up from and area that isn't seen and reuse.

Bellegrove were a big supplier of these type of tiles many years ago give them a call and they may still have some laying around somewhere
