The Finishing Detail: Alhambra Blue Dado 5 x 15cm

A deep Andalusian blue dado trim in a slim 5 x 15cm format, finished in a soft crackle glaze — Alhambra Blue Dado from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Inspired by the tilework of southern Spain, Alhambra pairs a hand-glazed ceramic body with a gently crazed, light-catching surface. The blue carries real depth — cobalt in shadow, brighter where the light falls — bringing a considered, Mediterranean warmth to kitchen splashbacks, bathrooms and shower walls.

Made in Spain in glazed ceramic, this slim 5 x 15cm dado is a finishing trim — run it as a border to frame a splashback, cap a half-tiled wall, or define a band of pattern within a larger scheme.

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

To request a return, contact Hyperion within 14 days of delivery. For eligible online consumer cancellations, you have a further 14 days after telling us to send the goods back. Contact us for the correct return address; your statutory cancellation does not depend on our authorisation.

Additional supplier returns have their own eligibility rules, charges and exclusions. These do not override statutory cancellation rights or rights for faulty goods. See our refund policy and supplier return guidance before arranging a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use a Dado rail?

While not strictly required, a Dado rail is highly recommended for any "half-tiled" wall. Without a trim, the top edge of your tiles is left raw and exposed. The Dado rail hides this edge and provides a much more professional, high-end finish.

Does it match the 22.5cm long Alhambra tiles?

Yes. Although the Dado rail is 15cm long, it is finished in the exact same translucent Alhambra Blue glaze. It is common practice to use a 15cm trim with either 15cm or 22.5cm field tiles; simply align the grout joints where possible or use a brick-bond layout.

How do I handle corners?

Dado rails are usually "mitred" at the corners. This involves cutting the ends of two rails at a 45-degree angle so they meet neatly to turn the corner. This requires a steady hand or a professional wet saw.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a high-quality flexible adhesive and a soft, tonal grout to blend the trim neatly into the surrounding tiles.
  • Sealing: This is a crackle-glazed trim — seal the surface with a suitable glaze sealer before grouting to protect the fine crazing from staining.
  • Cleaning: Wipe with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh or acidic products that can dull the glaze.
