Tessellated Tile Supply

We provide an extensive range of authentic tessellated tiles to match both traditional and contemporary needs. Our collection includes classic geometric shapes, borders, and motifs inspired by the Victorian, Edwardian, and Federation periods, as well as bespoke options for custom projects.

Tessellated Tile Supply

Our craftsmen bring decades of experience in tessellated tiling — from preparation and layout to precision cutting and grouting. We work with homeowners, architects, builders, and heritage consultants to deliver installations that are both structurally sound and visually perfect.

Authentic Patterns and Designs

Each tile is made to reflect the artistry of the period — from simple checkerboards to intricate geometric layouts. We can replicate classic designs found throughout Sydney’s heritage suburbs, or help you develop a new pattern that complements your home’s style.

Popular patterns include:

  • Victorian geometric layouts with octagons, squares, and contrasting borders.
  • Federation-style patterns with warmer tones and stylised floral motifs.
  • Monochrome designs for a timeless, elegant look suited to both heritage and modern settings.

 

Quality and Durability

All tessellated tiles we supply are crafted using high-quality materials designed to withstand Australian conditions. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use — from verandas and paths to kitchens and bathrooms — providing durability without sacrificing heritage authenticity.

We partner with leading Australian and international tile manufacturers who specialise in heritage reproductions, ensuring colour consistency, proper sizing, and lasting strength.

Custom Sourcing

If your project requires rare or discontinued patterns, our team can source or reproduce them using digital matching and mould replication techniques. We’ll identify the closest material and finish available, so your new tiles blend seamlessly with the old.

Tessellated Tiling Services

Our craftsmen bring decades of experience in tessellated tiling — from preparation and layout to precision cutting and grouting. We work with homeowners, architects, builders, and heritage consultants to deliver installations that are both structurally sound and visually perfect.

Design and Planning

Before installation begins, our tilers conduct a full site assessment to measure and plan the pattern layout, ensuring symmetry, proper drainage, and alignment with the surrounding architecture. We provide scale drawings and tile samples when required, so you can see exactly how your finished floor will look.

Surface Preparation

A long-lasting tessellated surface begins with a stable foundation. We repair or re-level substrates, install appropriate screeds, and use moisture-resistant materials to guarantee longevity — especially for verandas and outdoor walkways exposed to the elements.

Professional Installation

Each tile is placed by hand with precision alignment to maintain pattern flow and clean grout lines. Our team pays close attention to borders, edges, and transitions between rooms or areas, ensuring a seamless and balanced result.

We use traditional laying methods combined with modern adhesives and sealants for superior strength and weather resistance, especially in high-traffic or outdoor areas.

Sealing and Finishing

After installation, all surfaces are carefully cleaned, grouted, and sealed to enhance colour, reduce staining, and make maintenance easy. We use high-quality breathable sealers that preserve the tiles’ natural finish while protecting them from wear and moisture.

Tessellated Tile Restoration & Repairs

Over time, even the most beautiful tessellated floors can lose their lustre. Tiles may crack, lift, or become discoloured through decades of use and exposure. HR&R specialises in restoring these intricate surfaces, bringing them back to life while maintaining their historical value.

Comprehensive Restoration

Our restoration process begins with a full condition assessment to determine the cause of damage — whether it’s structural movement, moisture issues, or general wear. From there, we carefully remove, clean, and replace affected tiles using traditional techniques to preserve the original layout.

We match colour, pattern, and grout composition precisely, so new sections blend seamlessly with the old. Where original tiles are missing, we source or recreate replicas that match in size, thickness, and texture.

Repairs and Repointing

For minor issues, such as loose or cracked tiles, we offer targeted repairs. Damaged tiles are lifted and reset with minimal disruption to surrounding areas. Grout and mortar joints are repointed to refresh appearance and strengthen the structure.

We also address subfloor problems, water damage, and efflorescence — ensuring your tiled surface not only looks pristine but is stable for years to come.

Cleaning and Resealing

We provide professional deep cleaning for stained or weathered tessellated tiles, removing dirt, algae, and old sealers to restore the tiles’ natural sheen. After cleaning, we apply breathable sealants to protect against moisture, UV, and staining, extending the surface’s lifespan while maintaining a natural matte or satin finish.

Heritage Property Specialists

HR&R has extensive experience working with Sydney’s heritage-listed and period properties. We understand the importance of maintaining architectural integrity and adhere to heritage guidelines when undertaking restorations. All materials and methods are chosen to align with the original construction period and appearance.
