What are Frisian Tiles?

Frisian tiles are traditional bricks with a striking yellow nuanced color, originally produced in Friesland. These bricks are known for their warm, sunny appearance and are often used to add character and charm to both new and restored buildings. Just like all other bricks, the clay determines the color. The yellow color of Frisian tiles comes from the combination of lime and the clay in which they are baked. The red counterparts were often more expensive than the yellow ones. Hence, Frisian tiles are often seen in farms. There are also the paver variant, which can create beautiful pathways. They are also referred to as farmer tiles or street tiles.

How many Frisian Tiles per m2?

To cover one square meter of wall, you need approximately 105 Frisian tiles, depending on the joint width and laying pattern. The size of the Frisian tiles is about 18 cm in length and 4 cm in thickness. Additionally, there are also larger wall-sized Frisian tiles, which measure about 21 to 22 cm by 5 cm, and about 72 of these bricks are needed per m2. This specification helps you plan your purchase and ensures that you have enough bricks for a complete final result.
