Borders – Various Disciplines

By incorporating a border and a feature strip to your marble, stone, or wood floor installation, it is a sophisticated way to show off your artistic side and create a floor that is unique to you. The simplest of flooring can be lifted by the use of borders, medallions or accent pieces.

De Ferranti's Border collection takes many forms. Materials range from Marble, Limestone, Vocanic Tuff, Rare Porphyry's (Imperial Porphyry, Porfido Antico, Porfido Imperiale) and Serpentines, to Antique Rare materials such as Giallo Antico. Other materials on offer are metals (brass, alpaca, copper bronze, steel, iron), bone and horn, inlays, mosaic, the list is endless.

Materials can be combined and may also incorporate fragments of the field material to tie in the border with the floor. A border is a very clever way of creating sections within rooms or the installation as a whole. Often wood floors with a stone border or vice versa work in perfect harmony to create that necessary linkage between materials and surrounding rooms.

The various disciplines used in the De Ferranti Border collection is wide. Dsiciplines include Stone Mosaic, Marble Mosaic, Glass Mosaic, Pebble Mosaic, Micromosaic, Marble Inlay, Hardstone Inlay, Pietre Dure, Overlay, Instarsio, Scagliola, Cosmati, Opus Sectile, Waterjet (ie. machine cut), combinations of the materials described.
