HANDMADE CLAY TILES
: Truly handmade clay tiles and fittings in
12 colours are manufactured from Aldershaw’s own Wadhurst clays
in the heart of the Sussex countryside. Aldershaw’s roofs have a patina
normally only associated with a bygone age. The company specialises in
restoration and conservation, producing mathematical tiles, nib tiles,
peg tiles and all fittings, also Gault clay tiles for the Cambridgeshire area.
Special sizes and shapes are no problem. Sussex Terracotta floor tiles are
made in a vast range of colours, shapes and sizes. The tiles are made to
look mature from the day they are laid. The company also manufactures
terracotta ware and handmade glazed wall tiles.
