    Default Need to match existing tiles on internal window ledges

    Hi,

    For some reason when my house was built about 17 years ago the builders put tiles on every window ledge apart from the 2 kitchen window ledges.

    We are now having upvc replacement windows fitted and want to obtain some tiles to match all the others.

    The tiles have a rounded top front edge and are 200L x 190W x 25mm thick. They are brown with small black speckles and have a slightly textured semi gloss finish.

    Can any of you guys tell what type of tiles they are please?

    Many thanks,

    Chris.

    they look like quarry tiles they could be heather brown round edge made by denis ruabon who i think went bust but they were very popular.

    cant be sure though so you would need to find a sample to be sure.

    If the other windows are in a separate room then I would expect that you could get a pretty close (enough) match. http://www.tileexperience.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=66 If you need a closer match
    If you need a closer match then maybe local reclamation yard.
