About this lot

Genuine 6-inch terracotta quarry tiles, hand-cleaned, no chipping. Perfect for period restoration. Located in Cardiff — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Offered by Cardiff Urban Reclamation (demolition) from their Cardiff yard, listed 12 days ago.

Carbon & sustainability notes

This listing carries no CO₂-saved figure because the material is new; the sustainability win here is waste prevention — first-quality stock staying out of the waste stream entirely.

Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.

Questions about this lot

Why is buying the full lot important with tiles?+

This is b-grade stock — once the ~18 m² here is gone there is no matching batch to re-order, so buy your full area plus spares in one purchase.

Is this suitable for underfloor heating?+

Porcelain, ceramic and most engineered boards listed here suit wet or electric UFH; check the thickness in the measurements table and keep floor temperature under the manufacturer's limit.

Can I view the actual tiles first?+

Yes — inspection at the seller's Cardiff unit is encouraged, and the batch/shade code above will match what you collect.
