Period Bathroom with Patterned Floor Tiles in Notting Hill
A period bathroom given a black and white patterned tile floor, properly waterproofed walls, a traditional basin and a polished towel rail.
About this project
Victorian and Edwardian homes suit traditional bathrooms, but old timber floors and damp walls make tiling risky. Here the walls were waterproofed with a tile backer membrane and the floor prepared before a black and white patterned tile went down to give the room its character.
This project is in Notting Hill. See also builders in notting hill and house renovation in notting hill.
What we found
- Old timber floorboards that needed stiffening before tiling
- Walls around the bath that needed waterproofing
- A client keen on a traditional look to suit the house
From start to finish
What we did
- Old finishes stripped and the floor checked and stiffened
- Waterproof membrane applied to the walls around the bath
- Patterned floor tiles set out from the doorway for a clean entrance line
- Tiles laid and grouted up to the skirting
- Traditional basin, toilet and polished towel rail fitted
- Final seal and handover
Patterned floors need a stiff base
Tiles crack when old floorboards flex. A proper overlay board or levelling layer underneath is what keeps a patterned floor looking perfect for years.
