Midnight Drama: Avalon Tumbled Notte

Make a bold architectural statement with Avalon Tumbled Notte—a premium natural marble that combines the intensity of the night sky with the softened elegance of an antique floor.

"Notte" is Italian for "Night," and this stone lives up to its name with a captivating background of **deep charcoal grey and midnight black**. Striking veins of chalk-white and occasional soft beige lightning bolt across the surface, creating a floor that is both dramatic and naturally beautiful. Unlike high-gloss black tiles which can feel cold, Avalon Notte features a **tumbled finish**. This mechanical process softens the edges and leaves the surface with a tactile, matt-satin feel, making it perfect for adding depth and character to bathrooms, hallways, and kitchens without overpowering the room.

⚠️ Important Installation Advice

  • Sealing is Essential: Although dark, this is porous natural marble. It must be sealed before and after grouting with a high-quality impregnating sealer to prevent water marks and staining.
  • Adhesive Choice: We recommend using a White rapid-setting flexible adhesive. While it seems counter-intuitive for a black tile, white adhesive prevents the risk of "picture framing" or bleeding that can sometimes occur with porous stone, ensuring the white veins remain crisp.
  • Extreme Variation: The beauty of Notte lies in its unpredictability. Some tiles will be solid black, others heavily veined with white. **You must open multiple boxes and mix the tiles** before fixing to create a stunning, natural blend.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is the colour solid black?

No. While the base colour is a deep charcoal/black, the tile is characterised by "Extreme Variation." This means you will see varying shades of grey, along with prominent white veining, silica lines, and occasional beige markings. This variation is what gives the floor its expensive, natural look.

What does "Tumbled" mean?

The "tumbled" finish means the stone has been processed to soften the sharp edges and give the surface a slightly worn, antique texture. It is not polished or shiny. This matt finish is more forgiving of dust and footprints than polished black marble.

Is it suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, it is excellent for bathrooms. The tumbled finish provides natural slip resistance (rated R10), making it safer for wet floors than polished stone. It creates a stunning "spa-like" feel when used on both floors and walls.

Do I need to seal dark marble?

Yes. Even though it is dark, water and oils can still leave marks or darken the stone unevenly if it isn't sealed. We recommend using a quality impregnating sealer (like MN Stainstop) during installation to protect the stone for years to come.

Can I use it with Underfloor Heating?

Absolutely. Avalon Notte is a dense natural stone that conducts heat very well. It warms up quickly and retains that heat, making your floor feel luxurious and cozy.

We are an authorised Fired Earth retailer with a family-run approach. This means you get the same premium products but with faster, personal technical support, expert advice on sealers and adhesives, and free delivery on orders over £300.
