Artworks Platinum Wall Tiles Collection
A Luxe Metallic Finish for Wall Interiors
At Hyperion Tiles we are proud to offer the Artworks Platinum collection — a refined wall tile range defined by its shimmering metallic silver‑platinum glaze. This distinctive finish adds instant elegance and drama to interiors, offering a high‑end aesthetic that works beautifully in feature walls, splashbacks and decorative panelling. The Platinum tone reflects light, enhances space and brings a modern, luxurious feel that is timeless yet contemporary. Whether you're tiling in a sophisticated bathroom, a sleek kitchen or a stylish living area, this metallic tile captures attention without overwhelming the design.
Design Heritage and Collection Identity
The Artworks collection from Original Style draws on the craftsmanship and decorative traditions of architectural ceramics: fine glazes, classic proportions, mouldings and accessory profiles. The Platinum range continues that legacy, offering the same high‑gloss ceramic body, matched trims and coordinated finishing pieces, but with a metallic twist. According to the manufacturer’s fitting guide, the Platinum (and Gold) metallic glazes are specifically intended for dry wall installations — they bring opulence and finish, rather than heavy‑traffic or wet‑wall resilience. originalstyle.com+1 This makes the Platinum collection an excellent choice for feature walls or decorative zones rather than full wet‑zone coverage.
Formats, Sizes and Accessory Options
Within the Platinum collection you’ll find the core field tile in a standard size (for instance the half‑tile size 152 × 75 mm) and other formats including matching mouldings, skirting tiles and decorative profiles. For example, there is the half‑tile described specifically as Platinum metallic glazed ceramic wall tile. tilesahead.co.uk The accessory range supports clean transitions, neat corners and elegant finishes around recesses or splashback edges. Because all pieces share the same high‑gloss metallic glaze, you can carry the finish seamlessly across field, trim and frame elements, creating a coherent and premium wall scheme rather than just a tiled surface.
Ideal Applications and Room Suitability
Platinum tiles are particularly suitable for spaces where surface and finish matter more than constant wet exposure. For example, in a cloakroom, feature wall, study wall panel or kitchen splashback where you want a refined accent, the metallic sheen elevates the space. However, due to their specification as being intended for dry wall use (and not for areas subject to heavy water exposure such as shower enclosures) their application in full wet zones should be avoided. originalstyle.com That said, in dry wall areas and splashbacks behind worktops that are not subject to direct water jets, the Platinum tile is perfectly practical. In kitchens the reflective finish helps bounce light around the space and can make compact rooms feel larger and more luminous. In living zones or hallways the metallic surface adds texture and richness, transforming a plain wall into a design feature.
Styling and Pairing Ideas
Styling with Platinum wall tiles invites a curated approach. The metallic silver‑platinum glaze pairs beautifully with cool materials such as chrome, brushed nickel or stainless steel, reinforcing a sleek modern aesthetic. To warm the scheme, you might contrast with warm wood accents, pale oak flooring or natural timber furniture, which balance the sheen with texture and softness. For a dramatic effect, introducing dark tones like charcoal, deep navy or black will allow the Platinum to act as a luminous accent. If you prefer a lighter scheme, pairing with crisp whites, pale greys or soft‑tone furnishings allows the metallic tile to add subtle opulence without dominating. Because the finish is high‑gloss and reflective, surrounding finishes should include some matt or textured elements (for example matt cabinetry or textured fabrics) to provide visual contrast and avoid the metallic surface feeling flat. At Hyperion Tiles we often recommend clients view the sample under actual lighting to observe how the metallic tone plays with light and space.
Installation & Practical Considerations
When working with the Platinum collection, there are a few practical considerations to get a polished result. Because the glaze is metallic and reflective, lighting conditions will strongly influence how the finish appears — we recommend ordering a sample and viewing it in your space under both daylight and evening lighting. The accessory trim pieces should be planned early, particularly where half‑tiles, external corners or skirting are required, to avoid exposed cut edges and maintain the high‑end appearance. As noted in the Artworks guide, Platinum (alongside Gold) tiles are designated for “dry walls” and should not be installed in showers or wet‑wall zones. originalstyle.com+1 The tiles are glazed ceramic, so surface care is straightforward, but we advise avoiding aggressive cleaners or abrasive pads which could affect the metallic surface over time. At Hyperion Tiles we are happy to guide clients with layout calculations, accessory matching and waste allowance to ensure your installation is as refined as the tile itself.
