What’s included in the Blenheim 3 Colour pattern
This is a pattern set sold by the square metre. The look is created from individual Victorian floor tiles that form the Blenheim layout in three colours.
Included
- Tiles required to create the Blenheim 3-colour pattern (sold per m²)
- Colour mix as shown for this product – Dover White, Grey, Black.
Not included (optional add-ons)
- Borders (sold separately)
- Feature corner details (if you’re building a framed hallway layout)
- Adhesive, grout, sealer, trims, and special decorated pieces
If you want a border, we can help you pick one that suits your hallway width and skirting line.
Colourway details (and easy swaps)
The 3-colour version is ideal if you want contrast without the floor feeling too busy. If you’re unsure, the simplest route is to order colour samples and test them against your grout, paint, and lighting.
- Colour 1: Dover White
- Colour 2: Grey
- Colour 3: Black
Recommended borders to finish the edge
A border helps “frame” the pattern and gives you a neat edge against skirting, thresholds, and doorways. If you have a narrow hallway, we can recommend border sizes that don’t steal too much usable width.
Simple border
Clean, classic Victorian edge that keeps the focus on the main pattern.
Statement border
More decorative border options if you want a stronger “frame” or period look.
Corners and special pieces
Useful for framed entrance layouts and period-style hallway designs.
Corners – made up of individual Victorian tile pieces
Step treads: Available in black or red
Finishing pieces – infill tiles to help with the border ( normally 6×3″ or 6×6″)
Suitability: where Blenheim 3 Colour works well
- Hallway/entrance: the most popular use – hard-wearing and timeless
- Kitchen: good for busy spaces (seal and clean correctly)
- Bathroom: works well as a feature floor (slip resistance R10)
- Porch/vestibule: ideal for that true Victorian welcome
If you’re planning outdoors, tell us your setting (covered/uncovered), and we’ll advise on the best option.
Installation essentials (read this before you order)
Layout planning
- Dry-lay a small area first to confirm the look and the “centre line.”
- Plan door thresholds and skirting edges early
- Allow for cuts and awkward corners (especially in older homes)
Sealing and grouting
- Seal as recommended for Victorian floors (ask us for the right product)
- The grout colour recommended is grey
- Clean as you go to avoid haze and staining
If your installer hasn’t laid a Victorian geometric floor before, share the pattern layout with them early. It helps avoid small alignment issues later on.
How to order (m², wastage and lead time)
- Measure your floor: length × width (in metres) for each area, then add them together.
- Add wastage: usually 10% for cuts and spares (more for complex edges or borders).
- Check colour samples: if you’re not 100% sure, it’s the cheapest way to avoid mistakes.
- Place your order: we’ll confirm availability and delivery options.

FAQs
Is Blenheim 3 Colour supplied on sheets?
No — the pattern is made from individual tiles, then laid to create the design.
Do I need to seal Victorian floor tiles?
Yes. Sealing the tiles before and after grouting helps protect the surface and makes cleaning easier. Ask us, and we’ll recommend the right sealer for your setting.
Can I add a border later?
It’s best to decide before installation, so the layout and cuts are planned correctly. If you’re unsure, we can suggest a simple border that works with most spaces.
Is it suitable for underfloor heating?
Often yes, with correct preparation and adhesive choice. Share your build-up, and we’ll help confirm what’s best.
How much extra should I order?
Typically, 10% extra for cuts and spares. If your room is awkward or you’re adding borders, you may need more.
Can I use this in a bathroom?
Yes, as long as it’s installed and sealed correctly. Let us know if it’s a wet room so we can advise properly.
How fast is delivery?
It depends on availability and your chosen service. We’ll confirm lead time and delivery options when you order.
Can you help with a layout?
Yes — send your measurements (and a quick sketch if you can), and we’ll guide you on quantities and border options.
