Smoothfaced

A new darker Staffordshire Blue tile is now available.  The colour is a deeper darker blue than our previous Staffordshire Blue tiles which have now been discontinued. The darker Staffordshire Blue is available in both Sandfaced and Smoothfaced finishes.

The development of the darker Staffordshire Blue has been a result of requests from customers who have been seeking a Blue free from surface stains and coloured sands that is darker and a similar colour to the Staffordshire Blue bricks also manufacturerd in the the same factory using the same production process.

The Blue Brindle or Dark Heather tile is the closest match available to our former Staffordshire Blue.

Sandfaced

Dreadnought Staffordshire Blue tiles are a genuine blue.  Some manufacturers produce a dark clay tile by applying a spray on stain to the surface. 

Dreadnought Staffordshire blue tiles however, are a genuine traditional product. 

Our colours are obtained by the control of the kiln atmosphere that converts the iron content of the clay to blue in the manner of Staffordshire Blue bricks.
