One of the biggest jobs you can take on when renovating the interior of your home is ripping up the floor and relaying it in a different style. There are many reasons why you might want to do this the floor might be too difficult to take care of, it might have just had too much wear and tear, or you might simply want to change the room as a whole, so the floor has to change as well. While many people may go for high-quality laminated wood or smooth, polished tiles, however, the simple, rustic feel of an exposed brick floor, especially in the kitchen, shouldn't be underestimated.

Charles Howey Flooring & Interiors is a company that specialises in sourcing and installing reclaimed brick tiles into any room in your house. These brick tiles are taken from sites around Europe, and in some cases date back to the eighteenth century. The practise of reclaiming materials from demolished buildings is becoming increasingly popular as a way of completing building and renovation projects in a sustainable way rather than new materials having to be made, you're re-using salvageable materials that can still do a job for you both ...
... aesthetically and practically. In addition, the company provides terracotta tiles that can be used in the same way as the bricks, but which will add colour (as terracotta turns into different hues when it goes through the firing process) and a Mediterranean feel to the room and house as a whole.

In addition to the standard terracotta and brick floors, which are sold by the square metre, the company also offers more expensive but high-quality Dalles de Bourgogne stone options in various finishes, including second cut bush milled and honed and first cut rustic. This stone has been quarried in the Burgundy region of France for years, and was used to build many of the country's most famous medieval buildings. To protect this stone and the other types of flooring it provides, the company stocks ProtectGuard Matt and Silk Finish sealers, which are available in one litre and five litre containers and give the floor a clear, natural finish and delicate, semi-glossy finish respectively.

The company is happy for you to come and visit its headquarters if you wish to view the bricks and tiles that it would be using in your house, but this is by appointment only. Visit its website and fill in the online form or give its team a call or an email to arrange a time and date or if you have any questions, comments or order requests.
