Chocolate Quarry Tile 175mm

A South African Icon, Reimagined for the Modern EraThere is a reason the Chocolate Quarry Tile was the backbone of South African architecture for generations. It wasn’t just a floor covering; it was a lifetime investment. Prized for its deep, rich “chocolate” tones and unmatched resilience, this tile vanished from the local market for years, leaving a void that flimsy imports simply couldn’t fill.We are proud to announce that the original old-modern manufacturing process is back. These tiles are once again available for sale across all provinces, from the Cape coast to the Limpopo bushveld.Engineered for Extremes: The Extruded Split-Tile AdvantageUnlike mass-produced ceramic tiles, our Chocolate Quarry Tiles are extruded as a split tile . This traditional manufacturing process ensures a denser, more robust body.• Thickness that Matters: At 18mm thick , these tiles provide a structural integrity that handles heavy foot traffic, outdoor furniture, and the harsh South African sun without breaking a sweat.• Local Soul: Made from high-quality South African clay , the tile’s thermal mass helps keep interiors cool in the summer and holds warmth during those chilly Highveld winters.Why Choose the Chocolate Quarry Tile?• Unrivaled Durability: High-fired and incredibly dense, these tiles are resistant to wear, weather, and time.• Authentic Texture: The natural finish provides excellent slip resistance, making them the perfect choice for swimming pool surrounds, patios, and farm-style kitchens.• Low Maintenance: Naturally resistant to staining and easy to clean, they develop a beautiful patina over the decades.• Nationwide Availability: No matter where your project is—Gauteng, Western Cape, or KZN—we deliver this piece of South African heritage straight to your site.Specifications at a Glance:Feature DetailDimensions 175mm x 175mmThickness 18mmMaterial Premium South African ClayFinish Natural / Extruded Split TileApplication Indoor & Outdoor (Residential & Commercial)Design Tip: Pair these tiles with a 10mm grey mortar gap to highlight the geometric precision of the 175mm square format.
