Victorian Grandeur: The Abbey Waverley 20x20cm Tile

Bring the timeless elegance of ecclesiastical and Victorian design into your home with the Abbey Waverley Porcelain Tile—a classic 20x20cm format decorative tile with a masterfully weathered finish.

Inspired by the ornate encaustic floors of the 19th century, the **Abbey Waverley** tile by Fired Earth offers a modern, low-maintenance alternative to traditional cement tiles. Its intricate interlocking geometric pattern is rendered in a sophisticated palette of muted greys and chalky ivories. Each tile features intentional "weathered" imperfections, emulating the rustic charm of century-old handmade floors. This 20x20cm porcelain tile is designed to be highly versatile, allowing you to create a seamless wall-to-wall pattern or a decorative "tile rug" when paired with the Waverley Border and Corner tiles.


✓ Why Choose Abbey Waverley?

  • Authentic Heritage Look - A perfect recreation of Victorian encaustic motifs with a faded, antique patina.
  • Durable Porcelain Body - Unlike cement tiles, these are non-porous, stain-resistant, and do not require sealing.
  • Compact 20x20cm Size - Ideal for precise layouts in smaller bathrooms or as a detailed focal point in large kitchens.
  • Total Design Flexibility - Coordinates perfectly with Abbey Iron and Abbey Ivory base tiles.

⚠️ Installation Guidance

To achieve the authentic "rug" effect with the Waverley pattern:

  • Pattern Layout: For a framed look, calculate your central area using Waverley tiles and surround them with the Border and Corner tiles.
  • Grout Selection: We recommend a jasmine or light grey grout to complement the faded ivory tones.
  • Underfloor Heating: These porcelain tiles are excellent conductors of heat and fully compatible with UFH systems.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How does the "Waverley" pattern differ from the "Fountains" pattern?

While both feature a weathered aesthetic, the Waverley pattern is based on a series of interlocking circular and geometric lines that create a continuous, flowing tapestry across the floor. Fountains is more of a traditional standalone geometric motif. Both are designed to coordinate perfectly with the plain Abbey tiles.

Is the "worn" look a defect in the tile?

Not at all. The weathered patina is a deliberate design feature. It is intended to give the tiles the authentic character of historical encaustic flooring. No two tiles are exactly alike, which prevents the floor from looking "mass-produced.

Can I see this tile in person?

Yes! We highly recommend visiting our Ascot Showroom. Seeing the Abbey Waverley on a large display allows you to see how the interlocking pattern comes together and how the light catches the soft matt finish.

Are these tiles suitable for a wet room floor?

Yes, they are excellent for wet rooms. As a high-quality porcelain tile, they are non-porous and offer good slip resistance in a matt finish. The large 60x60cm format also reduces the amount of grout cleaning required.

Can I use these with underfloor heating?

Absolutely. Porcelain is an excellent conductor of heat and is the preferred material for use with both electric and water-based underfloor heating systems.
