Cobalt-Blue Decoration: Acapulco Zenil 10 x 10cm

a striking, hand-painted 10 x 10cm ceramic rich with cobalt-blue decoration on a warm terracotta ground — Acapulco Zenil from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Acapulco Zenil pairs cool blue pattern with a warm terracotta body for a classic Mexican contrast. Hand-painted throughout, each tile carries the soft edges and tonal variation of authentic craft.

Set Zenil across a splashback, shower wall or hearth for a jolt of blue, or weave it through a patchwork with the yellow and green Acapulco decors. Glazed and easy to clean, it needs no sealing on the face.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a quality flexible adhesive over a sound, level background and choose a grout tone that flatters the decor — a soft neutral lets the pattern lead.
  • Layout Options: As a hand-made tile, shade and size vary from piece to piece. Shuffle tiles from several boxes and dry-lay a section first to enjoy the natural variation across the wall.
  • Cleaning: The glazed face needs no sealing — simply wipe with a mild cleaner. On a hearth, keep the tile at least 30cm from the direct heat source.
Samples

Tone, glaze and veining can read differently in your own light. Cut samples are free; sample postage is £4.99 (£8 for Original Style) and is refunded on tile orders over £50 using the code emailed with your sample order. Use the sample option in the buying panel, or call our Ascot team on 01344 620211 for help comparing colour, finish and quantities.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Fired Earth ranges are returned through Fired Earth’s own returns process, and special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Zenil pattern compare to others in the range?

Zenil is defined by its softer floral imagery. While designs like Luna or Ortiz are sharply geometric, Zenil feels more organic and traditional, making it a favourite for farmhouse kitchens or romantic, spa-like bathrooms.

Are these tiles suitable for wet areas?

Yes, they are glazed ceramic tiles suitable for all interior wall applications, including shower walls. Ensure your installer uses a waterproof adhesive and grout system suitable for terracotta-backed tiles.

How do I clean these tiles?

The high-gloss glaze makes maintenance very simple. Use a soft cloth with warm, soapy water or a pH-neutral tile cleaner. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the gloss finish over time.
