the ground floor. Half the size of a pamment. They are more versatile as they can be laid in a variety
of patterns.
Pamments
Pamments were common flooring material in East Anglia. Now they are increasingly rare and are in high demand for the authentic cottage look. The most common size is 9 inch square, but also available in 6 inch or 12 inch, in red, buff and salmon pink tones.
Reproduction pamments are available and are usually cheaper than the originals.
Fire Backs
Our large showroom has one of the largest selection of fire backs anywhere. Many originals have been refurbished in our own workshop. A fire back not only protects the brick work of the fireplace but also improves the heat you get from the fire by throwing heat back into the room – and they look good!

Hearths
Hearths can be built from virtually any non-combustible material. The most common for town houses was slate or quarry tile. For farmhouses, York slab, floor bricks or pamments were usually used.
A later development was to use granite for a smart appearance, usually in combination with a marble surround.
With the advent of the wood burning stove boom, the variety increased still further, with other stones becoming more popular. such as Indian sandstone.
