About The Project
The Malmaison Aberdeen hotel is the latest addition to the Malmaison chain of luxury hotels across the UK. The hotel is set to open in 2008.
The renovation project included the partial demolition and extension of the hotel, as well as £7 million of refurbishment.
Cutting Edge Tiling was involved with the project, using various tile products, including porcelain and ceramic tiles, throughout the hotel.
Project Details
Starting from the basement level, we tiled three wet rooms in the staff quarters. We used plain white tiles on the wall and 60x30 porcelain tiles on the floor with matching skirting.
The floor tiles near the plug hole had to be cut so that they can be angled down to accommodate the run of the water. This was a tricky operation, but looks good.
We were given the basement floor initially, which involved tiling the staff quarters, which consisted of 2 double shower wet rooms in plain white ceramic wall tiles and porcelain floor tiles.
In each case, the tiles had to be layed and cut in such a way that the water would run down the plug hole. The tiles had to be cut at differant angles.
Then we tiled the disabled staff quarters. The same tiles where used, however we tiled the wet room only. The disabled staff quarters where a lot larger.
After this we started on the first floor of the hotel, where we were tiling 12 en-suite bathrooms, which consisted of:
- Shower cubicle, in black porcelain
- Floor tiles, in black porcelain
- Bath splashback, in large ceramic tiles
- Toilet wall, in black porcelain tiles
To add contrast to the job, the black tiles had grey grout and the white tiles had white grout.

Then we moved on to the junior suites. These had double shower wet rooms, in mosaic tile walls, and floors in the same black porcelain. The area outside the bathroom door, the floor and walls, are tiled half way up in the first part of the front room, where the big double baths sit.
The Malmaison was a large project, which required attention to detail, as well as the use of porcelain and ceramic tiles.
The use of these tiling products in a commercial project, new-build or refurbishment will result in a quality finished tiles. Both hard wearing & aesthetically pleasing. Cutting Edge Tiling can now add this major commercial contract to it's portfolio.
