verandah & path
The humble verandah is an iconic feature of Australian heritage architecture. Distinguished as the all-important first impression of a home, it's no surprise that tessellated tiles were chosen historically as the hallmark feature of an Australian entrance. With their extraordinary geometric intricacy and harmonious medley of colours, tessellated tiles are the most historically respectful and visually expressive choice for the entrance to your home.
From Victorian terraces to humble Federation bungalows, we bring over 50 years of laying experience, historical knowledge and technical know-how installing tessellated tile floors across Sydney, Melbourne and the rest of Australia.

This graceful Victorian terrace features the Leeds pattern and Norwood border on the path, verandah and main entrance. Designer Dee Cotter chose a traditional pattern to honour the vintage of the house, (and customized it with her favourite colour - green - as the key element in the colour palette). Using the same pattern and colours throughout, creates a unity to the entire project. The paint colours of the hallway have been determined by those of the floor. Read Q & A here.

When Alex and Tobin decided to renovate their Federation property in Neutral Bay they were left with hidden clues from the house about what to do next. After taking up the floorboards in the front vestibule, they were revealed with the original verandah's tessellated tiles, a hint as to its original design. This property is a true celebration of federation styling with contemporary functionality.

This verandah in Sydney's Inner East is a fantastic example of a custom designed pattern in collaboration with Olde English Tiles. The unique pattern and colour scheme was created from scratch to suit the space at hand. We think the result is wonderful, and a testimony to the customisable nature of Olde English Tiles tessellated patterns.
