The terracotta Barbury wall tiles are designed and hand finished by our expert partners in Marlborough, using time honoured techniques. With no two exactly the same, the result is an organic, rustic feel which celebrates the subtle differences between each tile, including variations in shape and surface, to form a characterful finish. Keep the tiles protected with our Crackle Glaze Sealant.

Need to know
Due to their handmade nature, no two will look the same or lay completely flat – this contributes to their rustic look.
Providing our sealant and the correct grout and adhesive are used, they’re suitable for splashbacks, hearths and fireplace surrounds.
Each tile will have three unglazed edges. As a result, some of the terracotta body may be visible when fixed to the wall.
We don't currently provide grout and adhesive, but we recommend formulas from Marlborough Tiles.
Over time, especially in areas where temperatures fluctuate, the crackle glaze will continue to craze. You may hear a quiet pinging sound when this happens, but this is a natural occurrence with crackle glaze tiles.
No resealing required.
Can be used with a dry cutter.
