Alternative to Original Style tiles? - TilersForums.co.uk | Tile Forums

Hi

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to the Original Style tiles?

I would like to lay floor tiles in my hall which are similar to the old Victorian style. I intended using pale colours to give it a more contemporary take.

Alternatively I would like to use plain tiles and have a patterned border.

Many thanks

Joanne

Hi Joanne, get yourself into the tile shops this weekend (not your national DIY stores) and get some tiles picked and we'll tell you how to lay'em!

Hi joanne..

You could try .......Craven dunhill...

Also some reclaimed tiles cost more than new ones........
