The Perfect Frame: Abbey Waverley 20x20cm Border Tile

Achieve a professional, bespoke finish with the Abbey Waverley Border Porcelain Tile—the definitive framing element for creating authentic Victorian-style layouts.

Designed in a traditional 20x20cm format, this border tile is engineered to perfectly enclose the Abbey Waverley field tiles. It features a sophisticated, linear geometric design with the signature "weathered" patina that defines the Fired Earth Abbey range. Whether you are designing a decorative "rug" effect in a grand hallway or framing a feature zone in a bathroom, the Waverley Border provides the architectural structure needed to complete the look. It shares the same muted grey and ivory tones as the rest of the range, ensuring a seamless tonal match with Abbey Iron and Abbey Ivory.


✓ Why Use the Waverley 20x20cm Border?

  • Bespoke Definition - Essential for creating "tile rugs" and defined perimeter frames.
  • Authentic Patina - Features a soft, weathered finish that replicates antique encaustic stonework.
  • Premium Porcelain - High-density, non-porous material that is significantly more durable than traditional cement.
  • Easy Coordination - Pairs seamlessly with the Waverley Corner for a perfect 90-degree pattern turn.

To ensure a professional frame with the 20x20cm Waverley Border:

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the border for my layout?

While not strictly necessary, the Waverley Border is what transforms a "tiled floor" into a "bespoke design." It provides a clean finish between your patterned field tiles and the walls or plain tiles, much like a frame does for a painting.

How do I calculate how many border tiles I need?

Borders are typically calculated by the linear meter of the perimeter you wish to frame. Because these are large 60x60cm tiles, your installer can often cut them to create a custom width or use them whole for a bold, grand statement.

Is it difficult to align the pattern?

As these are rectified tiles, the edges are perfectly straight, making alignment much easier. However, we always recommend a "dry lay" first to ensure the corners and pattern flow meet your expectations before applying adhesive.

Can I see this at the Ascot Showroom?

Absolutely. We have the Abbey collection on display, including the border tiles, so you can see exactly how the patterns interact and feel the soft matt texture in person before you buy.

Are these suitable for high-traffic doorways?

Yes. Porcelain is one of the hardest-wearing flooring materials available. The Waverley Border is designed to withstand the heavy footfall of entryways and commercial spaces without fading or wearing.
