What are basket weave tiles?

Basket weave tiles are mosaic tiles laid in an interlocking pattern that mimics woven basket strands. They're usually made from natural marble or limestone, set on mesh backed sheets, which is what makes them so easy to work with.

What are Fired Earth's basket weave tiles made from?

Our basket weave tiles are made from natural marble, honed to a soft, matt finish. Expect some variation in veining and tone from sheet to sheet, because no two pieces of stone are quite the same.

Are basket weave tiles suitable for bathroom floors?

Basket weave tiles are well suited to bathroom and wet room floors. The many grout lines give good grip underfoot, and the honed finish keeps things sure footed when wet.

Are basket weave tiles compatible with underfloor heating?

Basket weave tiles are compatible with underfloor heating. Natural marble conducts warmth evenly, so it's a practical choice for a bathroom or hallway floor you want warm underfoot.

Do basket weave tiles need sealing?

Basket weave tiles do need sealing, because natural marble is porous. Seal before grouting and again once it's cured, then clean with a pH neutral product to keep the stone looking its best.

Basket Weave Tiles | Basketweave Floor & Wall Tiles

Basket weave tiles bring a quiet, woven pattern to a room, without ever shouting for attention. Ours are cut from natural marble and honed to a soft finish, then mounted on mesh backed sheets ready to lay. Look closely and you'll spot gentle variation from tile to tile: that's simply how real stone behaves.

BasketWeave Tiles Cut From Natural Marble

We choose marble for our basketweave mosaics because it wears well and only grows more characterful with age. Sheet sizes vary a little by range, from around 30cm up to nearly 34cm square across East Hampton, Westhampton and North Haven. Seal it once laid, and it's ready for years of everyday use.

Basket Weave Floor Tiles for Bathrooms and Beyond

Where do these tiles work hardest? They're well suited to:

Bathroom and wet room floors
Hallways and busy walkways
Kitchen splashbacks and feature walls
Floors with underfloor heating

The many grout lines give a sure footing underfoot, so it's a practical choice wherever the floor gets wet. But it works just as well vertically, as a splashback or a feature wall.
