celebrating Tradition, Craft and Enduring Beauty
[vc_column_text css=””]The Sussex Terracotta Range by Aldershaw Handmade Tiles Ltd of floor tiles are truly handmade and hand thrown using our 150 million year old Wadhurst clay, dug here on site in the heart of the Sussex countryside.
This clay has been used to make terracotta articles for over a thousand years and is a familiar building material in the region, the warmth of their colours being a distinctive feature of the landscape.
Handmade tiles crafted from natural clay are more than mere building materials, they are living works of art shaped by human hands.

Each tile is struck from a sand covered beech-wood mould, dried on a wooden bat and then fired to 1,000°C or more- as required.
The finished tiles may not be uniform, like machine made tiles, and vary slightly in shape, size and shade, so much sorting and matching is done to get the desired results, from an experienced Tiler, familiar with this product.
The tiles age beautifully, acquiring the attractive patina so much desired for a timeless appearance; that normally takes hundreds of years to achieve.[/vc_column_text]
