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.

The Hyperion Family Promise

  • Design Continuity - Alhambra spans Blue, Grey and White across 7.5 x 15cm and 7.5 x 22.5cm bricks, 15 x 15cm decors and 5 x 15cm dado trims — mix formats for a complete Moorish scheme.
  • Premium Durability - Hard-wearing glazed ceramic with a characterful crackle finish, ideal for framing internal wall schemes in kitchens, bathrooms and shower surrounds.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • 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.

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.
