Description

The Noir Detail: East Hampton Black Pencil

Master the art of finishing with the East Hampton Black Marble Pencil—a slender natural stone moulding that brings a crisp, dark edge to your tiling projects.

Crafted from the same dense **natural black marble** as the East Hampton collection, this pencil tile is the ultimate problem solver for exposed edges. It features subtle **white and grey veining** against a deep black background, ensuring a perfect match with your feature walls or floors. Its primary function is to cover the raw, unglazed "biscuit" of field tiles, creating a smooth, rounded transition around niches, windows, and half-tiled walls. The **honed finish** (diamond-sawn) provides a sophisticated matte texture that absorbs light rather than reflecting it.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Fragility: Pencil mouldings are thin (1.4cm) natural stone. Handle with extreme care. Always order 10-15% extra to account for cuts and accidental breakage during installation.
  • Sealing is Critical: Black marble is prone to "etching" (dull spots) from acids. It must be sealed before and after grouting with a high-quality impregnator to maintain its deep colour.
  • Mitred Corners: For external corners, the pencil should be mitre-cut at 45 degrees using a precision wet cutter to create a neat, seamless turn.
  • Cleaning: Never use acidic cleaners (bleach, vinegar, lemon) on black marble. Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "Pencil" tile used for?

A pencil tile is a thin, rounded moulding used to cover the rough, unglazed edges of tiles where they end on a wall. It provides a neat, professional finish around niches, windows, or part-tiled walls.

Is this real stone?

Yes, this is genuine natural black marble. It matches the East Hampton Black floor and wall tiles perfectly, featuring the same authentic veining. It is a solid piece of stone, far superior to plastic trims.

Does it need sealing?

Yes. Natural marble is porous. Black marble is particularly prone to "etching" from acidic liquids. Sealing is mandatory to protect the finish and maintain the deep black colour.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?

We are a family-run business with years of experience in natural stone. We can guide you through the specific installation requirements—such as choosing the right white adhesive and grout—to ensure your marble installation remains beautiful for decades.
