Most of our borders have projecting, plastic forms and striking profiles. As in Art Nouveau originals, we cast clay into moulds; the production method differs fundamentally from that of our plain wall tiles.
As a result, there are minor dimensional differences between these tile types. To compensate for this, it is advisable to deliberately lay the tiles with a staggered joint. This traditional handling has further advantages: Joint grids are broken and recede in the perception, the horizontal structuring of a tiled wall is more strongly perceived.
Glaze gradients are particularly strong on the surfaces of borders and skirting tiles - an impression rich in contrast is created.
Next to decor tiles Wilhelminian style and Art Nouveau originated a lot of embossed trim pieces to arrange complete tiled panels.
GOLEM's borders, base tiles and trim pieces are completed with cornerpieces, covings and tiles with one or two round egdes. Monochrome models are available in most standard colours.
The making of wall- and floor tiles for restoration, in size and glaze true to original to the in situ conditions is our speciality. Don't hesitate to contact us.
