Description
This 4 inch square tile has two rounded edges that meet at a corner (REX). It finishes the outside corners of a hearth or step made from 4 inch tiles. First mass produced in the 1920s, it was one of the shaped tiles that made the stepped, three dimensional forms of Art Deco fireplaces possible.
Where it goes
Use it on the corners, with the 4 inch single round edge tile (RE) along the edges and the plain 4 inch square tile (PLN) in the middle. Our fireplace edge tiles guide explains every shape.

Ordering and fixing
Our glazes are thick to reproduce the period colours, so crazing is likely over time and each batch varies slightly in shade. Order every shape you need in one go, with a spare of each. Fix hearths with heat resistant tile adhesive, and see how to tile a fireplace hearth for the method. Our fireplace tile calculator works out the main tiles for you.
