Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the Parthenon pattern?

The Parthenon pattern is inspired by the decorative friezes found in classical Greek architecture. It features a repeated rhythmic motif that represents stability and timeless elegance, making it a staple of high-end traditional interior design for centuries.

Can these borders be used in a shower?

Yes. These borders are made of glazed ceramic and are fully suitable for wet wall areas. Because of the relief pattern, regular cleaning is recommended to prevent the buildup of soap residue in the decorative recesses.

How many Parthenon borders do I need for a linear metre?

Each tile is 152mm long. To cover one linear metre, you will need approximately 6.6 tiles. It is always suggested to order an additional 10% to account for cuts and mitring at corners.

Are there matching corner pieces available?

Yes, external "oyster" corners are typically available in the same glazes. These are highly recommended for creating a professional, rounded finish on external corners or window reveals without the need for complex mitre cuts.

Will the colour match my field tiles?

Yes. The Parthenon border is finished using the same translucent glazes as the rest of the Artworks range, ensuring a perfect colour match across your entire project.

A Grand Architectural Listello
At 152mm in length, the Parthenon border is designed to align perfectly with Artworks Field Tiles and Artworks Half Tiles. It is most commonly used as a sophisticated "listello" or accent strip to break up plain tiled surfaces or to frame a decorative Kitchen Splashback. The high-gloss finish emphasizes the geometric relief of the pattern, creating beautiful highlights and shadows that enhance the depth of the wall.

Heritage Quality and Coordination
Available in the iconic translucent glazes of the Artworks collection, these borders are intended to be paired with our Victorian Floor Tiles for an authentic, period-accurate finish. If you are looking for an alternative leaf-patterned decorative border, you might consider the Artworks Acanthus Border. For a hand-crafted, slightly more rustic aesthetic, explore the Winchester Tiles collection. You can find our full range of finishing pieces in the Artworks Borders and Mouldings series.
