Looking for replacement floor tiles - and how to oil them   
Hi there,

These are the tiles in my hallway floor. Could anyone suggest where I
can source some replacement tiles of this type and colour?

Also,

I have cleaned and degreased this floor (after this picture was taken!)
and applied boiled linseed oil to the floor, but the light brown tiles
do not end up the same colour throughout. The only time I get the
desired look on the floor is when it's wet!

Any advice on applying oil so it soakes into the tiles and gives me a
uniform colour?

Thanks!

Hi - the beige and reds are 3 inches square, the light brown rectangles
are 3" x 6", the dark brown squares are 2".

Cheers

So quite small. I can't help with your query but I'm interested in the 
tiles - do you have a date for them?

Mary, they are from a 1922 house. Does anyone have anything to help
with this question?

Cheers
