Sorry I just had to laugh about your wife saying they are easy to keep clean! Dearie me. (No offence)stuart45 said:I like brick floors. I've done one in our porch and one in the back of the kitchen. My wife said they are easy to keep clean.
They don't crack easily, are breathable, hard wearing and easy to lay.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.

It's your house and if you don't like certain features/things, then why not change them to make you happier and enhance your life? Not much point keeping original features if you don't like them and are planning to stay in the property. Do what's right for you and it's nobody else's business. Seems a bit of a shame to live in circumstances you're not happy with simply because you think other people may think you're heathens!Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.

Some people DO admire quarry tiles. But I've always thought it's a snob thing. In reality, they are unattractive, look cold and feel cold.tacpot12 said:No, not sacrilege at all. I don't think I have ever heard anyone admire quarry tiles. They were a cheap flooring when laid, and are usually laid without a damp proof membrane so are cold and damp.
I had them throughout my Victorian terraced house and had them dug out and lots of insulation put under a new concrete slab. The house and the floors were warm and dry after that, and I could have a wide choice of attractive coverings fitted.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.

I had no qualms binning ours. Dirty, uneven and laid directly on damp soil.
No thanks.0
