Frame a Victorian-style floor with this matt porcelain border sheet – small black and white tiles on a mesh backing in a traditional design that runs around the edge of a patterned or plain tiled floor.
In a traditional Victorian floor the field is framed by a border running around the edge of the room, and these border sheets do exactly that.
Made from unglazed porcelain stoneware, it is dense, low-porosity and hard-wearing, and it is designed for indoor floors in hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, conservatories and living areas.

Coverage & Ordering
This border is sold in full boxes of 7 sheets. Each sheet lays at an effective 285mm, so each box runs approximately 2.00 linear metres of border. To work out how many boxes you need, measure the total length of border in metres, divide by 2.00 and round up to the next whole box. The border is supplied in straight lengths: where it turns a corner it can be mitred on site, and matching 93x93mm corner sheets are available in the black & red colourway. When setting out, remember that each sheet measures 310mm overall to the tip of its end square, although it lays at an effective 285mm. We recommend allowing an additional 10% for cuts, wastage and future repairs.
Tiles are produced in batches and slight variation in shade between batches is normal. Please order the full quantity you need in one go so that everything comes from the same batch.
Installation Notes
Fix to a flat, sound and rigid subfloor with a flexible floor tile adhesive. Press each sheet mesh-side down into a full bed of adhesive and tamp it level as one unit, keeping the joints between sheets the same width as the joints within the sheet. Handle sheets carefully and support them flat when lifting, as individual small tiles can come away from the backing; if one does, fix it back in place with adhesive. Once set, grout the whole surface and clean with a neutral, non-abrasive cleaner. Lay the main floor first, then run the border sheets around the edge, mitring them neatly where the border turns a corner.
