Question Trying to source step tiles

Hi all.

The homes on the estate I live in are finished with a nice stone on their front wall. The steps coming out of them are simply plain old concrete.

I am trying to source tiles that will specifically do the job. i.e. a range that is bevelled in different places for the edges.

Have tried my local tile suppliers without much success and a trawl through the net has been totally fruitless.

Any thoughts?

If they are still in business, Dennis Ruabon do quarry tiles that would suit! Used to be able to get them at Topps I believe but most independants should be able to get them. Check out our site sponsors CTD, if they can't get them have a look at -> www.wallsandfloors.co.uk

You can get a lot of porcelain ranges with actual trad tiles.
They have a round edge and the first 4 inches or so are ribbed.

I can't think of which specific manufacturers do them though. Sorry


Maybe Cerdisa, not sure though.
