Our Story
Original Style was initially set up to develop tile sets for the cast iron fireplaces produced by sister company Stovax. However, it soon became apparent that tiles were being used for more than just fireplaces, particularly in America, where they began appearing on the walls in the luxury bathrooms of Hollywood stars! So a range of authentic Victorian designs were created on thinner tiles more suited to walls.
A Victorian floor tile collection was developed to complement the ever-popular wall tile range. The production department was expanded and in-house glazing and hand-painting sections set up. North America became such an important marketplace that we opened our own distribution centre in Boston.
We opened a local superstore in Exeter, UK, to sell 'seconds' - tiles that do not quite meet our rigorous standards for first class products.
In 1997 we acquired The Wi******er Tile Company, to add a range of hand-crafted, transparent glazed tiles and mouldings to our burgeoning product portfolio. The acquisition added slip casting and wet clay pressing equipment and more kilns to the production department.
The company continued to grow by offering new ranges of products such as natural stone, glass and mosaics to our customers in many countries. Our skilled workforce continue to produce quantities of ceramic tiles and mouldings to a consistently high finish thanks to meticulous quality control and the use of the latest tile production technology. The second superstore was opened in Plympton.
In 2010 we acquired and relaunched the Dorset Woolliscroft floor tile collection. These slip resistant floor tiles offer exceptional performance and safety standards for industrial, commercial, residential and leisure installations.
