Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Original Style Bugs Border tiles suitable for floors?

No. The Bugs Border collection is exclusively designed and engineered as a decorative accent for interior wall applications. The ceramic body and gloss glaze finish cannot withstand foot traffic.

Do these gloss glaze decorative borders require sealing?

While standard gloss tiles typically do not require sealing upon installation, it is important to note that the Winchester glazes can naturally craze (develop fine hairline cracks) over time due to the handcrafted nature of the ceramic body. If crazing occurs, you must apply a crackle glaze impregnator to protect the tile.

Can I use the Bugs Border in a shower enclosure?

Yes, with careful installation. They are perfectly suitable for integrating into tiling within shower walls and wet areas, provided they are installed with a highly water-resistant adhesive and grout. If any crazing occurs on the glaze, you must maintain a protective sealant layer to ensure water does not penetrate the ceramic in high-splash zones.

How many pieces do I need to order?

The Bugs Border tiles measure approximately 105mm in length. Therefore, you will need roughly 9.5 pieces to cover one linear metre. We always advise ordering an additional 10% to account for cuts, corners, and wastage during installation.

How do I clean and maintain these hand-painted ceramic tiles?

Maintenance requires a gentle approach to protect the luminous glaze and intricate illustrations. Simply wipe the tile down regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, pH-neutral bathroom or kitchen cleaner. You must absolutely avoid harsh bleach, acidic cleaners, or abrasive scouring pads, as these can permanently scratch and damage the beautiful hand-painted surface.

The Perfect Country Accent

If you are looking for ways to inject character into a tiled space, the Original Style Winchester Bugs Border is the ultimate solution. Serving as beautifully illustrated decorative accents, they provide a seamless and charming way to break up plain walls or cap off a row of tiling. They are the perfect choice for adding bespoke personality to kitchen splashbacks or creating stunning, nature-inspired borders behind range cookers and sinks.

English Heritage Inspiration

The Winchester Classic collection is specifically designed for those who wish to infuse their home with the tranquil, grounded atmosphere of the English countryside and historic farmhouse interiors. The hand-painted Bugs Border sits on a warm, inviting Off White background, ensuring they pair flawlessly with the matching Winchester Off White field tiles and mouldings for a unified, professionally curated aesthetic.

Handcrafted Appeal

While these decorative borders offer the reliability of modern manufacturing, they brilliantly capture the charming imperfections of authentic handcrafted ceramics. The tiles feature a delicate rustic edge and a luminous gloss glaze with a beautiful depth that bounces light effortlessly. Each vintage-style hand-painted insect illustration brings its own unique character, creating a richly textured and visually engaging wall surface that feels truly bespoke.

Installation & Care Tips

To achieve the best possible finish with your glossy decorative borders, we strongly recommend unpacking and planning your layout prior to fixing to ensure the insect illustrations flow beautifully across your design. While standard gloss tiles typically do not require sealing upon installation, it is important to note that the Winchester glazes can naturally craze (develop fine hairline cracks) over time due to the handcrafted nature of the ceramic body. If crazing occurs, you must apply a crackle glaze impregnator to protect the tile. For ongoing maintenance, simply wipe the tile down regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner.
