Serene Skies: Carnival Laredo

Bring the calming hues of a Mediterranean summer to your home with Carnival Laredo—a 15x7.5cm ceramic wall tile that radiates peaceful elegance.

Part of the vibrant Carnival collection, 'Laredo' features a **soft, sky-blue glaze** that evokes clear horizons and coastal retreats. Inspired by the tiled interiors of traditional bars in **Spain and Mexico**, these tiles are designed to capture the soulful imperfection of handmade ceramics. They feature **gently rippled edges**, an undulating surface, and a subtle **crackle glaze (crazing)**. This creates a wall that feels organic and fluid, reflecting light in a way that flat, modern tiles simply cannot match.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Crazing Effect: You may see fine crackle lines in the glaze, known as "crazing". This is an intentional design feature that gives the tile its aged, authentic look and is not a defect.
  • Grout Colour: To keep the look fresh and airy, use a **White** or **Ivory** grout. For a more distinct, graphic look, a **Silver Grey** grout works well to highlight the brick pattern.
  • Sealing: These tiles are glazed and generally do not need sealing. However, for wet areas like showers, we recommend using a grout protector to maintain the pristine look of your joints.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a handmade tile?

While Carnival Laredo is machine-made to ensure consistent sizing for easier installation, it is designed to mimic the charm of handmade artisan tiles. It features rippled edges and an undulating surface that gives it a beautiful, organic texture.

What colour is "Laredo"?

It is a soft, calming sky blue. It is light and airy, perfect for creating a sense of space and tranquility in bathrooms and kitchens.

Does it need sealing?

No. The robust glazed finish is non-porous, so the tile itself does not need sealing. This makes it a low-maintenance, practical choice compared to real encaustic or cement tiles.

Can I use it in a shower?

Yes! The glazed ceramic surface is waterproof and easy to wipe clean, making it ideal for shower walls and wet areas. We recommend using a waterproof grout.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?

We are a family-run business dedicated to quality and service. We hold direct accounts with premium brands like Fired Earth, ensuring you receive authentic products with expert support. Plus, we offer free delivery on larger orders to help with your renovation budget.
