The new Dorset Woolliscroft Collection now consists of a comprehensive range of quality, hard wearing slip resistant porcelain floor tiles and fittings, all fully vitrified and suitable for internal and external use.

A long history of tile makingPoole in Dorset was the starting place of Carter & Co, a tile making company established in 1873. The company took over Poole Pottery in the 1920s, later becoming part of Pilkington’s Tiles in 1964. In another part of the country, George Woolliscroft & Son were making tiles from around 1884 at Etruria and Hanley in Staffordshire, a location closely associated with Josiah Wedgwood. They produced a wide range of tiles, including tile blanks for other tile decorating companies. They concentrated on floor tiles from 1910, supplying tiles for many locations including the London Underground. In 2000 Pilkington’s Tiles took the company over and the floor tile range became Dorset Woolliscroft, a bringing together of two names which symbolised high quality, hard wearing porcelain tiling.

New beginningsThe Dorset Woolliscroft brand was acquired by Original Style in 2010 – we have now given it a new lease of life which should ensure its continuation and success for many more decades.

These new Dorset Woolliscroft slip resistant floor tile ranges have been developed with specific areas of usage in mind, and applications include dry and wet areas with heavy foot fall, wheeled traffic areas, and weather exposed – in fact, anywhere slip resistance qualities are required.The tiles offer exceptional performance and safety standards for industrial, commercial, leisure and domestic markets and have been thoroughly tested using the most widely recognised slip resistance test methods currently available.

The long termMore and more manufacturers, architects and designers are challenged to provide environmentally friendly materials (including flooring) which offer long term and cost effective solutions. This means that life cycle costing of materials is becoming increasingly important. Many studies support the view that ceramic flooring is the most economical and environmentally friendly solution over a lifespan of 50 years.
