GONE - Elon Mexican Terracotta Floor Tiles

Recommended Posts

We have these lovely genuine Elon (http://www.elontile.com/collections/terra-cotta/) Handmade Mexican Terracotta Saltillo floor tiles left over from our previous kitchen. They are unglazed (picture 2) in warm shades of pinks, yellows and reds, which once treated become much darker and richer in colour (see picture 1).


The tiles are handmade using a traditional production method which means that the tiles are liable to exhibit chips, lime pops and minor blemishes, which adds to their individuality. Standard size is nominal 30x30, however they may be nearer to 29.5x29.5cm.


We have 43 tiles that are without chips (making just short of 4 square metres allowing for grout and an additional 10.5 tiles that have small chips on the edges which can be used as off-cuts near walls and appliances.


All terracotta needs to be sealed. We treated ours in the old fashioned way with several coats of Boiled Linseed Oil and then a mixture of white spirit and linseed oil to bring out the shine (picture 1)


Cost for the 43 tiles would be around ?85 but we are looking for ?20 ono for all the tiles (43 unchipped plus 10.5 extras).


They are very heavy so you will need transport.

    • Is this a popular event? If great demand for this sort of event on such a small space then so be it. It is just with Peckham Common so very close by just wondering why this is considered a preferable venue for this kind of thing?
    • Another recommendation for Jason who is brilliant all-round. He plastered our rooms and hallways (some walls were blown and needed re-boarding), replaced two ceilings and over-boarded one. From the start he was always communicative, happy to pop by to assess first, and transparent about the various options and their associated costs. He worked thoroughly, going above and beyond to make sure every job was finished to a high standard and is very fairly priced, particularly considering the hours he puts in. We’re so pleased with the results of our flat and have already recommended him unreservedly to others. Also helps that he is just a sound guy who’s really easy to chat to!
    • Well let’s put it this way - certainly alot more alert when I am in town than I use to be . Don’t feel unsafe just a lot more cautious and aware of my surroundings.  Tend to avoid walking anywhere in town as in London or Dulwich etc when it gets dark. Personal choice and certainly more people muttering or talking to themselves than before. Witnessed road rage years ago on Ladbrook Grove in broad daylight - memory still haunts me!!
