"Flagstone" Tiles for a Farmhouse
Discussion
Does anyone have any recommended "Flagstone" tile suppliers?
Looking to achieve something like this:
Not really wanting traditional flagstones (i.e. various thicknesses over 3" thick), just a type of tile as such, but with that oldy worldy look.
Will be laid on screed sub-base with wet UFH, throughout a entrance/boot room, kitchen & living room - around 70m2 in total.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies chaps!
Spudler - I'd actually been doing a bit of research on concrete reproduction tiles (hadn't come across your supplier however). Have you ever had any problems in terms of the concrete wearing away to show the exposed aggregate or any air bubbles showing? A completely separate company I know, but this thread did initially put me off this idea...
Dickymint - I assume your missus works for/owns Mandarin Stone? Will take a closer look! Any PH'er discount knocking about? :whistle
Loughran - Thanks for the link. Looks exactly what we are after. What type of stone are the tiles made from and do you have to do anything in terms of maintenance? It's a shame that they are so far away.
Mr C - Thanks for the link. They are actually just down the road from us, so will arrange a visit to see what they have.
Thanks again for the input!

Clarkey that would be fantastic if you could pop a photo up!
Spudler - 14 years and no problems is a good recommendation in my book. Is there anything involved in maintenance or are they relatively maintenance free? The maintenance side slightly puts me off limestone/sandstone floors. I'd have gone with porcelain, but there doesn't seem to be anything close as to what we are after...
