Victorian tile floor project in Edinburgh, Scotland
BLOG
This Victorian tile restoration project in Edinburgh, Scotland involved the reinstatement of a historic geometric tiled floor that had previously been removed and replaced with unsuitable modern bathroom tiles. Our aim was to recreate the original Victorian design using sympathetic conservation methods while respecting the character of the property.
Following a detailed survey, the replacement floor was carefully designed to complement the original Victorian layout. The new geometric tile floor was planned to suit the entrance vestibule, existing thresholds and surrounding architectural features, ensuring the finished installation looked appropriate to the age and style of the building.
The new Victorian tiled floor was prepared on a properly cured and stable base before installation. Careful setting out ensured the pattern aligned correctly with the entrance, walls and doorways, allowing the design to sit naturally within the historic space despite the irregularities often found in older buildings.
A new sandstone threshold was installed to complement the Victorian floor and provide a durable transition between the entrance and the interior of the property. Every stage of the work was undertaken with careful attention to proportion, craftsmanship and traditional detailing.
The completed project restored the entrance to a condition that was both visually sympathetic and practical, creating a Victorian tiled floor that complements the original character of this Edinburgh property.
