Red and Black Quarry Tiles

Traditionally, all quarry tiles were the same colour i.e. flame red. Now they are available in many different shades and colours. Red and black quarry tiles are both equally as popular. Brown ones are also available, but they have not really taken off in the same way that red and black quarry tiles have.

Shades of Red and Black Quarry Tiles

Modern production techniques mean that there are several different shades of red and black quarry tiles available. You can get red tiles that are so light in colour that they look almost pink. The same is true of black tiles, which can either be pitch black or closer to grey. However, the lighter ones are still quite rare. Black quarry tiles have only recently become fashionable, so manufacturers are still developing that particular line of tiles.

Now that you can buy quarry tiles in such a large range of colours, you can use them in more places. Just putting them on a scullery floor is very old school. Now people even use them in the main rooms of their house including the hallway, kitchen and, in a few cases, even the lounge or dining area.

It is now also possible to buy the full range of colours for use outdoors. You can mix red and black quarry tiles together in a pattern to make a stunning looking patio.
