23m2+ antique French carreaux de ciments field tiles (CM48)

A large, 23m2 / 250 sq ft antique french carreaux de ciments floor of 20 cm square tiles, reclaimed from two adjacent rooms of a townhouse in the suburbs of the mediterranean city of Montpellier and which date from the early part of the twentieth century. The tiles tessellate to produce a complex geometrical pattern centered around a chainlinked star in a palette off-white, electric blue and salmon. The tiles have cleaned well of their old wax and dirt and were originally laid on plaster, which has now been removed so that they arrive ready to relay. The floor is in good condition, any tiles with chips are included free for use as offcuts or to be laid should you seek a floor appearance with a richer patina.

Like terracotta, carreaux de ciments tiles are slightly porous and having been professionally cleaned these tiles are now in their original matt state. Once relaid they will require sealing to protect them against staining, a clear product which we will supply and which simply requires two coats painting on once the jointing of the floor is complete and dry.Carreaux de ciments tiles are a cured rather than fired tile and only suitable for laying inside a home as sub zero temperatures with freezing and thawing can eventually damage the tile.
