Victorian Tiles
Our Tiles The Olde English geometric tile collection has been created with versatility in mind. Recreate a period look, modernise an old design, or develop a pattern of your own. Olde English tiles come in a variety of shapes and sizes and an amazing 25 colours in most of the shapes. The tiles are frost resistant and suitable for both interior and exterior use. Olde English tiles give you the freedom to create a new floor which is totally in tune with your home environment.
Fixing Tiles We recommend that you have your tiles laid by a professional tiler. Tiles should be laid to a sound, flat base, using a cementitious floor tile adhesive and grouted with a fine, cement based, grey floor tile grout. For the more intricate designs, aim for grout lines of 1mm or less, adjusting as required to cater for any size differences and for best appearance. Designs with larger tiles (e.g. 100mm and 150mm squares) can use wider grout lines.
Sealing Olde English tiles are fully vitrified and do not require sealing in normal domestic use. For ease of cleaning in areas where staining is likely (e.g. busy kitchens) they can be sealed with an acrylic based floor tile sealer such as HG Golvpolish. Never seal tiling laid outdoors.
Sizes and Colours Olde English tiles are natural clay products and there may be small variations in both size and shading. Adjust grout lines to allow for dimensional differences. Take the usual precaution of mixing tiles of the same colour from different boxes, to ensure that any colour variations are evenly distributed.
Exterior use Being fully vitrified, Olde English Tiles are frost resistant. Ensure that exterior tiling is laid so that water cannot pool on it and maintain grouting correctly. Technical Data: | Thickness Max | 10mm (except Steptreads)

Tiles should be carefully examined before fixing. Fixing of the tiles constitutes acceptance of their quality. Creative Bathing accepts no liability for faulty installation work, or the quality or correctness of the tiles once fixed. As far as the law permits, liability is limited to replacement of faulty items or a refund of their cost and excludes any consequential loss, including the cost of removal and refixing.
