If your tiled floor is in an Edwardian property and beautifully coloured you are probably looking at an Encastic tiled floor. Most of the encastic tiled floors we restore have had a real beating. Smashed tiles, glue where carpet was probably stuck to it at one stage, old solvent based polishes.

The point is, once restored the floors are superb and an absolute joy to look at. It requires quite a bit of work but they really are worth it. The tiles themselves are clay information with the various rich terracotta colours burnt in making them extremely durable. They are made by mixing wax and turpentine and then heat bonded. Even when heavy objects are pulled across the tiles and deep scratches occur the colour will still be there unlike most modern day tiles.

The word encaustic comes from the Greek word enkaustiko which literally means "burnt in" the tiles are still available today for repairs from good stone suppliers such as our www.marblemasteruk.com/shop.

Clean the tiles is a relatively painless task as you can use a mild alkaline detergent and a good stone sealant from the shop to easily look after them.

The interior design decorators play a vital role to décor the commercial as well as residential buildings in the most unique styles. The wall panel is the incarnation of interior finishes due to the exclusive designs and styles of cutwork / patchworks. The floor covering with the different types of tiles and stones make the flooring in the most exceptional way. You may enhance the look of flooring in the luxurious style with the use of carpet accessories . The carpet floor looks more sophisticated and classy rather than the tiled floor.
