Hark back to a bygone era of industrial advancement and splendiferous design with Dorset, a beguiling Victorian-style wall and floor tile that takes its design cues from the likes of Thomas Minton.

Victorian aesthetics
Scribed tile with decorative grout lines

Hi there, can this tile be used in a Porch and front doorstep? Thanks
Our advice: With these tiles being ceramic, they would not be frost-proof, therefore we would not recommend them for outdoor use.

Hi I received my sample but the score lines are terracotta and although you say you can grout over , the depth of the score line is very minimal and looks like it won’t take any grout ? Can you advise please thanks
Our advice: Yes, the score lines need to be grouted.
