Description
Warm Victorian Character: Original Style Greek Key Border Black on Buff
Infuse your home with the inviting warmth of the Original Style Greek Key Border Black on Buff Tile—a classic geometric border that pairs the sharpness of black with the earthy softness of buff clay.
Part of the celebrated Victorian Floor Tiles Collection, this decorative border features the iconic meandering "Greek Key" motif. The Black on Buff colourway offers a softer, warmer alternative to the stark monochrome of black and white, making it ideal for creating cosy, welcoming entrances. Crafted as a 151 x 53mm ceramic tile, it is designed to frame plain geometric field tiles in hallways, porches, and conservatories. With a traditional matt finish and robust 9mm thickness, it is durable enough for high-traffic areas and frost-resistant for outdoor paths.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips
- Sealing: As these are unglazed Victorian tiles, we highly recommend sealing them before grouting (to prevent staining) and again after installation is complete. A suitable impregnating sealer should be used.
- Grout Width: For an authentic Victorian look, we recommend a tight grout joint of approximately 2mm.
- Grout Colour: Use a light grey or limestone cement-based grout. Avoid black or deeply coloured grouts as they can permanently stain the buff sections of the tile.
- Layout: Dry lay your border pattern first to ensure the corners meet correctly. You may need specific "Corner" pieces (often 53x53mm) to turn 90-degree angles seamlessly.
