Old reddish cement tiles? - TilersForums.com

[Brindle]

Hi, long time no post!
Have laid a hallway in some tiles that were originally in the house being renovated. They look like they are made from a type of concrete/ waste from brick manufacture?
Size wise, they're about 9 and a half inch square, 2 inch thick. One side has a smoother texture.
They have been laid ok, was just wondering if anyone had a name for them? Also as regard to sealing, we have cleaned them up today, they are very absorbant. Should we seal with an impregnator?

Anyone with any prior knowledge of these much appreciated.

Haven't taken any pictures yet - do'h!

No they're not terracotta, more like a brick rather than clay

Have searched a bit more and they seem to be brick tiles! I will post a picture later

Sounds like small concrete slabs to look like Terracotta..

a bit more digging around they seem to have been popular in Flintshire area(production wise at least) from the turn of the century up till early 60's. I will post piccies when done
