Luminous Industrialism: The Abbey Ivory Porcelain Tile

Bring light and texture to your home with the Abbey Ivory Porcelain Tile—a sophisticated surface that blends a soft cream palette with a subtle metallic patina.

Part of the **Abbey collection from Fired Earth**, the Ivory finish is designed for those who love industrial style but prefer a brighter, warmer atmosphere. These 20x20cm porcelain tiles feature a **matt finish** with a delicate "oxidised" effect that catches the light, mimicking the look of aged, weathered metal. This creates a floor or wall surface with incredible depth, shifting between creamy off-whites and pale, pearlescent greys.


✓ Why Choose Abbey Ivory?

  • Subtle Metallic Glow - A unique finish that adds light and movement to any room.
  • Tough & Practical - High-quality porcelain that is scratch, stain, and water-resistant.
  • Seamless Layouts - Rectified edges allow for ultra-fine grout lines for a modern look.
  • Total Versatility - Rated for both walls and floors, inside and outside.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Soft Tonal Variation: Features a V2-V3 variation, ensuring each tile is unique while maintaining a cohesive look.
  • Small Format 20x20cm: The classic square format is perfect for making smaller rooms feel larger and more open.
  • Thermal Efficiency: Naturally compatible with underfloor heating, retaining heat long after the system is turned off.
  • Minimal Maintenance: Unlike real metal or natural stone, these tiles require no sealing and are easy to clean.

⚠️ Installation Guidance

For a professional result with Abbey Ivory:

  • Grout Selection: We recommend a light grey or jasmine grout to maintain the airy feel of the ivory tiles.
  • Tile Spacers: Use 2-3mm spacers to take advantage of the non rectified edges and achieve a seamless finish.
  • Adhesive: Use a rapid-set flexible adhesive, especially for floor installations over underfloor heating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the surface slippery?

The Abbey Ivory has a matt finish that provides a natural slip resistance suitable for most residential areas. For wet rooms, we always recommend testing a sample with water first.

Can I use these on a fireplace?

Yes! Porcelain is highly heat-resistant, making these an excellent choice for fireplace hearths or feature walls behind a wood-burning stove.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the "Ivory" finish different from a standard cream tile?

Unlike a flat cream ceramic, Abbey Ivory features a sophisticated "oxidised" effect. This creates a subtle metallic shimmer and pearlescent depth that reacts to light, giving the tile a more architectural and high-end feel than a basic solid-colour tile.

Can these tiles be used with underfloor heating?

Yes, absolutely. Because these are made of high-quality porcelain, they have excellent thermal mass. They conduct and retain heat efficiently, making them a perfect partner for both electric and water-based underfloor heating systems.

Do I need to seal these tiles?

One of the main benefits of Abbey Ivory porcelain is that it is non-porous. Unlike natural stone or real metal, these tiles do not require sealing at the point of installation and are highly resistant to staining and moisture.

How do I maintain the metallic finish over time?

Maintenance is very simple. We recommend using a pH-neutral floor cleaner and a damp mop. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh acidic cleaners, as these could potentially dull the decorative metallic glaze over many years of use.

Are these tiles suitable for outdoor patios?

Yes, the Abbey range is frost-proof and suitable for external use. However, please ensure your installer uses the correct outdoor-grade adhesive and grout. Keep in mind that the light ivory colour may require more frequent cleaning in outdoor settings than the darker "Iron" version.
