Geometric Floor Tiles
Our geometric floor tiles combine traditional Victorian aesthetics with modern manufacturing techniques. Available in squares, rectangles, triangles, hexagons and octagons, these tiles allow infinite pattern combinations. The fully vitrified composition ensures exceptional durability while maintaining frost resistance for both interior and exterior applications. Clients can create authentic period looks or contemporary designs tailored to their specific architectural requirements.
Custom Color Options
With 32 standard colours available, our tiles offer unparalleled customisation possibilities. Square tiles come in the full colour range while octagons and other shapes offer 11-25 colour options depending on design. This extensive palette enables precise colour coordination for both restoration projects and new installations. Clients can mix and match colours to create unique patterns that reflect their personal style or commercial branding requirements.
Frost Resistant Tiles
Specifically engineered for UK climate conditions, our frost-resistant tiles maintain structural integrity through freeze-thaw cycles. The low porosity vitrified composition prevents water absorption that causes cracking. These tiles meet British standards for external flooring applications while retaining aesthetic appeal. Ideal for patios, pathways and commercial entrances requiring durable, all-weather flooring solutions.
Victorian Pattern Tiles
Authentic Victorian tile patterns include Ennerdale, Grasmere and Barton designs that replicate historic flooring styles. These traditional patterns work equally well in period property restorations and modern homes seeking classic elegance. The modular system allows scaling patterns to fit any space while maintaining historical accuracy through original design proportions and colour combinations.
Commercial Flooring Solutions
We provide tailored flooring solutions for commercial projects requiring durable, high-traffic resistant surfaces. Our tiles meet commercial wear standards while offering design flexibility for retail spaces, hotels and public buildings. Trade accounts receive dedicated support including pattern visualisation tools and bulk order pricing. The non-porous surface meets hygiene requirements for commercial environments needing easy-clean flooring solutions.

Questions
What makes Olde English Tiles frost resistant?
Our tiles use fully vitrified clay bodies with less than 0.5% water absorption, preventing frost damage through freeze-thaw cycles while maintaining structural integrity.
Can I create custom patterns with your tiles?
Yes, our modular tile system allows infinite pattern combinations using different shapes and colours. We provide design templates and visualisation tools to help plan bespoke installations.
Do your tiles require sealing?
The vitrified surface has natural stain resistance, eliminating sealing requirements under normal conditions. This non-porous finish maintains appearance with minimal maintenance.
How do I order sample tiles?
Visit our website to request colour and texture samples, or contact our Hoddesdon showroom to arrange physical tile samples for colour accuracy assessment.
Are your tiles suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes, the vitrified composition works perfectly with underfloor heating systems. The tiles' thermal conductivity and dimensional stability ensure even heat distribution without cracking risks.

Complete nightmare!
Made an order for 115cm W x 265cm L path and Wayne prepare a quote for us however it turned out that neither the tiles were the correct number needed, nor the strip! I am not really sure at how Oldeenglish makes their calculations, but this costed us 3 and half hours of travelling today to collect extra strips and tiles. Beware!

We 're all used to dealing with companies on the internet that don't come up to scratch, so it's a pleasure to deal with one that is great on all levels. Great website made it easy to find tiles I thought would be a nightmare to find, delivery of order was very quick and items packaged very well. I made a mistake when ordering and was able to speak to someone at the company immediately and they could not have been more helpful. 5 star recommended.
