Supply & Install

New tessellated floor from scratch. We handle pattern, tiles, substrate, and full installation.

We Lay New Tessellated Floors That Look Like They've Always Been There.

We're a Melbourne-based specialist in tessellated tile supply, installation, and restoration. We've spent decades laying and restoring floors in some of the city's most significant period homes and public buildings, from Hawthorn to Albert Park, Fitzroy to Williamstown, with work that's also stood up to the standards of Victoria's Parliament House. Every project starts with the substrate, because that's where the floor's next century is decided.

Supply and install for new tessellated floors

New builds, renovations, and full rebuilds handled end-to-end: pattern selection, tile supply, substrate, set-out, install, and finish. Borders line up. Fall is right. The floor lasts.

Period-accurate replica tiles

Replica tessellated tile patterns cut, matched, and prepared at our East Keilor workshop. Colour palettes that sit naturally with Victorian, Edwardian, and Federation homes, not a near-enough guess.

Custom pattern design and matching

One-off pattern design and custom encaustic tile work when your home, your architect, or your brief calls for something off-catalogue. Geometry and colour developed to suit the era and proportions of the building.
If your project also involves an original tessellated floor, we restore that side of the work too. Century-old verandahs and entrance floors brought back where the substrate is sound, or rebuilt from the base up where it's failed.
When the job is done, the floor should feel like it has always been there. That's the only outcome we hand over.

Everything That Goes Into a New Tessellated Floor.

We're tessellated tile specialists. That's the entire business. We work with home owners, builders, architects, and heritage bodies on Victorian, Edwardian, and Federation properties across Melbourne and Victoria. Every tile is prepared at our East Keilor workshop.

Yes. We work with builders on heritage renovations and period-style new builds, and with architects from the design stage on pattern selection, custom development, and heritage overlay compliance.

Access, levels, ground conditions, substrate, drainage, the surrounding finishes, and the best layout for the space. We also look at the era of the home so the pattern and colours sit naturally with it.

It depends on size, pattern complexity, and substrate condition. A standard verandah or entrance install usually runs a few weeks from start to finish. You'll get a clear timeline in the written quote.
