Create that warmth for your home or business without the weight and bulk of full-sized brick. Discerning historic home and building restoration professionals, home owners, designers, and architects have discovered that authentic quality in Inglenook thin brick tiles. Inglenook brick paver tiles have beautified building facades to backsplashes since the owner made them for her own historic home in 2004. They are ideal for brick floors, walls, ceilings, and fireplaces. Either 3/8" or 1/2" thick, our reproduction antique bricks can be made in a variety of sizes, textures, edges, and color mixes.
Who makes Inglenook brick tiles? It is our family business, started on the kitchen table, and incorporated in 2004. Our family made the first tiles. We then made them at a veterans' work facility in Myerstown PA, and when that closed, we moved into our own warehouse in Lancaster County PA and employed vets in substance abuse rehab (as a work recovery program). After learning of a family illness, we moved the operation to a blind agency in Philadelphia, and trained them. After some years, that agency transferred the operation to another blind agency in Harrisburg, and we trained a new group, whom we are with now.
Here is a DIY guide to install our brick tiles. Even if you've never installed tiles before, you can do it yourself with a little patience, a few equipment rentals and the right supplies. Your builder or local tile installer will also have no trouble - Inglenook thin brick pavers are installed like any other ceramic tile, according to ANSI guidelines. Basic steps for the installation process are listed below. If you've never installed tiles, we also suggest you use the Tile Council of America Handbook for Ceramic, Glass, and Stone Tile Installation as a guide.
They have been used for walks and walls, chimneys, patios and even covering the entire outside of buildings. Use them on a patio, and also then through a glass door and into the house, bringing the outside in. Our brick tiles will not pall or fade, since they are fired to such high temperatures, and the color is fired in. They are so durable when installed that they have been used in garages! Be sure to watch the slideshow when you scroll down on this page. Thank you to Sarah Blank, of Sarah Blank Designs, for these pictures of your showroom in Darien, CT!
There are many bathroom and powder rooms that use our our brick tiles -- not only on the floors, but they have been used on walls also.and even in showers! They need to be sealed, of course, but then your brick bathroom floor will resist water like any other sealed or glazed tile. This is an amazing exposed brick wall shower stall, that has all the look and feel of an outdoor shower! Because of the depth of the stall, there is no need for a door or curtain. After seeing this, I decided to do it in my own walk-in shower!

Sunrooms and brick floors are perfect together. Install a heated brick floor with our tiles for a toasty room in the winter months. If sunlight lays on the floor, it will also hold the warmth with radiant heat. Because our brick pavers flooring tiles are lab tested for freeze/thaw hardiness, some homeowners will run them through the sunroom and out to an adjoining patio, seamlessly bringing the outside in.

The group of pictures below is the kitchen of the Walters family, created by Kevin Ritter at Timeless Kitchens. Thank you to Kevin for the beautiful pictures, and for showcasing our brick tiles so magnificently! This kitchen is in Rhode Island, at the home of Susan Blume. She remembered a brick kitchen floor that she grew up with, and wanted to bring those happy memories into her new kitchen renovation. Susan chose the King Street style, and butted them closely together. The grout line is very narrow.
When we say that these tiles are 4x4, that is an approximation -- they are not perfectly square, and that is their charm. This style was inspired by my university memories of streets in Oxford, England, particularly around the Radcliffe Camera. Our Cobble tile is very rustic, with a worn and weathered surface. A cobblestone floor is a very traditional, Old World look. There are many uses for this tile, both as a field tile on the floor, and also for room borders. They also have been paired with our relief tiles for back splashes.
