Reclaimed floor tiles for projects in Utrecht
Choosing a reclaimed floor is different from choosing newly manufactured tiles. Each batch has its own dimensions, shades, wear and surface. These differences create its character, but also make careful selection important.
When space on site is limited, it is useful to agree the required quantity and delivery time carefully in advance, so the flooring does not have to be stored outside or in an impractical place longer than necessary.
Which reclaimed floors will you find at Van Dillen?
Reclaimed floor tiles and farmhouse tiles
Our reclaimed floor tiles include batches in different colours, sizes and finishes. Red, grey and mixed-shade tiles are used in kitchens, living rooms, hallways, farmhouses and new builds where an aged floor is wanted. The Dutch term boerenplavuizen, or farmhouse tiles, is often used for this type of distinctive old tiled floor.
Traditional Dutch terracotta tiles: estrikken
Traditional Dutch terracotta floor tiles, known as estrikken, are another important group. They come in various colours and finishes, ranging from understated to striking. Unsure which type you need? Read about the difference between plavuizen and estrikken.
French and terracotta floor tiles
For a warmer, Mediterranean appearance, consider French floor tiles and terracotta floor tiles. Reclaimed terracotta tiles vary between batches in shade, patina and surface. This natural variation plays a large part in the finished appearance.
Choosing by colour, size and available quantity
Do not base your choice on a single tile. The combined appearance of dozens or hundreds of tiles matters more. Photos of a larger area, or a visit to view the stock, often give a better impression than one close-up.
Always check how many m² are available from the same batch. Allow for cutting waste and a small reserve as well. Where possible, our product pages state the size, price and current stock, helping you quickly assess whether a batch is large enough.

Combining reclaimed floor tiles with underfloor heating
Reclaimed floor tiles can work well with underfloor heating. The floor build-up, substrate and installation must, of course, be carried out appropriately. When choosing materials, it is especially important to allow for differences in thickness and the desired finish of the aged surface.
