Floor Tile Restoration throughout Devon and Somerset.
There are a number of ways that you can enhance your area with a stone or tile mosaic. For many years Floor Tile Restoration has specialised in supplying products and services for the restoration of tiled floors.
Floor Tile Restorers often specialise in Geometric Floor tiles and Fireplaces. In particular many have vast experience and knowledge of the restoration and reproduction of Victorian tiled floors which is recognised throughout the heritage industry.
For Ecclesiastical and Large scale restoration projects we offer a full consultancy service, and for domestic customers we can supply made to measure hand cut replacement tiles and cleaning products to help restore original floors to their former glory.
Many Victorian and Edwardian geometric floors have suffered damage over the years. These are valuable and practical features of period properties and we offer a service to replace lost or damaged tiles.
These floors (sometimes referred to as tessellated floors) were featured in entrance halls and on front paths of houses (and many commercial premises) from mid -Victorian times up to the 1930's.
Designs are made up of triangles, squares, trapeziums, hexagons and octagons in a variety of colours.
Often included in the designs are encaustic tiles, which are usually (but not always) square tiles, with a pattern embossed on them in layers of different coloured clay. Most often these are in two colours, but can be found in three, four or even five colours.
Preserving the Beauty of Historic Tiles.
There is really no substitute for the texture and patina of old tiles, worn by generations of foot steps. But, when these tiles break, flake, or begin to fall apart from loosening or water exposure, then it is time to take protective steps.
Floor Tile Restoration can repair these tiles, both glazed and encaustic, so that these forms of degradation are less noticeable to the eye. In addition, steps can be taken to help protect this tiles if positioned in an area exposed to heavy traffic or the elements.
