Description

Heritage Encaustic Look Ceramic Tile

Encaustic tiles date back to medieval times, when bold Moroccan and fleur patterns graced the monasteries of Europe, and they became fashionable again in the 19th century. Heritage is inspired by these striking designs, bringing a traditional retro look to your home.

Aster colours

  • Aster Black
  • Aster Blue
  • Aster Navy
  • Aster Green

Each colour carries the same classic Aster pattern. Choose your colour from the dropdown above.

Soft matt glaze

The Matt finish keeps the pattern crisp and gives the tiles a soft, authentic encaustic feel.

One 200×200 size

Heritage comes in one size, 200×200, with a cushion edge, a gently rounded top edge that makes it easier to lay.

The range has a V0 monochromatic variation, so the pattern and colour stay consistent from tile to tile.

Floors and walls with character

Heritage is suitable for floors and walls in homes and light commercial spaces, from bathrooms and laundries to entries and feature walls.

Care and Maintenance

Tiles ask very little, and the routine matters more than the product. Regular sweeping and washing stops grit building up, protects the surface finish and makes a deep clean far less of a job.

Based on the guidance in AS 3958.1–2007, Appendix C. General advice only — tile types, finishes and installation conditions vary. If you are not sure what suits your tiles, check with a qualified tiler.

Everyday cleaning
  • Sweep or vacuum before you mop. Loose grit is what scratches a floor, not foot traffic.
  • Mop with warm water and a pH-neutral, sulphate-free cleaner.
  • Rinse with clean water and do not let the cleaner dry on the tile — residue is what causes streaks and dulls a finish.
  • Wipe spills as they happen. Grout takes up a spill faster than the tile does.
Occasional deep clean
  • Use a high-alkaline detergent, above pH 9, for greasy build-up in kitchens and entries.
  • On textured or structured tiles, let the cleaner sit for a few minutes before scrubbing so it can work into the surface.
  • Steam or pressure cleaning can be used from time to time.
  • Always finish with a clean water rinse.
After a new floor is laid
  • Let the grout cure for as long as your tiler specifies before washing the floor properly.
  • A light film of grout haze is normal. It needs the right product to remove — ask your tiler rather than reaching for a household cleaner.
  • Keep mats and rugs off a new floor until the adhesive and grout have fully cured.
Keeping it that way
  • Mats at every external door, including wherever pets come in and out.
  • More cleaning product is not better. Over-applying leaves a residue that holds dirt.
  • Skip household soaps. They leave a film that reads as slippery and dull.
  • Felt pads under furniture legs, and lift rather than drag anything heavy.
  • If rinsing is awkward, use a no-rinse detergent instead of leaving residue behind.
Safe to use, and what to avoid

Safe to use

  • pH-neutral, sulphate-free cleaners for everyday use
  • Soft brushes and non-abrasive cleaning pads
  • High-alkaline detergent, occasionally, for grease
  • Proprietary abrasive cleaners on unglazed tile only

Avoid

  • Acidic cleaners — they attack grout and haze a glazed surface
  • Abrasive pads on glazed tile
  • Overusing high-alkaline detergent
  • Scrubbing machines fitted with coarse pads
  • Wax and oil-based polishes
