Following the successful opening of its multimillion pound factory, British Ceramic Tile, based in Heathfield, Devon, is pleased to announce that it has produced its first selection of in-house manufactured floor tiles to complement its extensive collection of wall tiles.

The new floor tiles offer a collection of versatile, hard wearing, design-led tiles. Available in 330x330mm they can be used in a range of environments from kitchens, reception areas, bathrooms and conservatories.

Chess B&W Floor2Sheila Elliot, Design Director for British Ceramic Tile comments, "The new floor tiles provide total coordination with some of our most popular wall tile ranges. Floor tiles are being widely used throughout the home and this latest collection has been designed with that in mind. They provide a selection of practical and stylish design options for use in a variety of environments."

The Chess white and black floor tiles (shown left) can be used either in one colourway across the entire room or a monochrome chequered look for a more striking design option.

Elgin Crema Marfil FloorElgin Travertine FloorElgin Marbles Travertine and Crema Marfil floor tiles (shown left) replicate the timeless elegance of real marble with a delicate light marble vein. The non- directional pattern of the tile means it can be used in any orientation. The new floor tiles match the existing Elgin Marbles wall tile collection allowing you to create
a fully co-ordinated look.

Dartmoor Naturals Limestone FloorThe inspiring Dartmoor Naturals collection is influenced by the natural beauty of the Dartmoor moorland landscape. The Limestone floor tile (shown right) is available in 330x330mm and is a perfect match with the natural stone inspired wall tiles available in sophisticated satin finish.

Elgin & Dartmoor White FloorThe Elgin/Dartmoor White floor tile (shown left) has delicate veining from the Elgin Marbles collection, but can also be used to complement the Dartmoor Naturals collection.

The new floor tiles have been produced under the ISO9001 and ISO14001 management systems, reaching international quality and environmental standards respectively. Durable, stain and chemical resistant, the tiles have also been rated by the Porcelain Enamel Institute (PEI), measuring the wear and resistance of glazed tile surfaces. The tiles have also proved moderate to low slip potential when wet, under the Pendulum Slip Resistance
test (PDV).

Manufactured in the UK using world class, locally sourced raw materials, British Ceramic Tile now manufactures great value ceramic wall and floor tiles all of which are stocked in the UK and available on a next day basis.
