Description

HAWTHORN PATTERN – TESSELLATED TILES

Tessellated floors are formed from tiles of varying size, shape and colour that fit together to produce a geometric repetitive pattern. Our product is suitable for use in both traditional and contemporary settings and we can also reproduce most original patterns.
Made in Italy

Vitrified porcelain is obtained from a mix of white clays coloured with pigments. It is fired at very high temperatures and therefore is dense with very low water absorption levels. Other properties include good slip resistance (R10 slip rating), frost resistance, chemical resistance and excellent resistance to breakage and abrasion.

No further sealing is required after installation. Tile thickness – 7mm.

Usage:

•  can be used in all internal and external residential and commercial applications

• can be used in wet areas. R10

Laying Requirements:

It is important to employ a tiler experienced in tessellated tiling as it involves time setting out the pattern correctly, understanding where to start and finish the repeat of the pattern, and how to turn borders correctly around corners.

Tessellated patterns and borders are supplied as loose pieces (not on sheets). Joint sizes between tile pieces can vary throughout a floor from 1mm to 3mm. And this is to accommodate any size variation from tile to tile and allows the tiler to open and close up the joints to ensure patterns and borders work. Always allow for an infill tile to be placed on the outside edge of the border. After centring the main pattern and border the tiler cuts the infill tile to suit.

Tessellated tiles can be laid in a traditional bed of sand and cement or a non-slump glue with a 10mm notched trowel. Your tiler will advise you of which method will suit your project.

Tessellated patterns and borders can be made up in colourways other than those shown.
