The Perfect Finishing Trim: Alhambra White Dado 5 x 15cm

A soft chalky white dado trim in a slim 5 x 15cm format, finished in a soft crackle glaze — Alhambra White 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 white is soft rather than stark — a gently creamy, chalky white that catches and returns the light, keeping a room feeling bright, calm and timeless.

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

Does this match the "wavy" surface of the field tiles?

While the field tiles have an undulating flat surface, the Dado rail has a specific moulded "S-curve" profile. However, the glaze and color are an exact match, ensuring the rail looks like an integrated architectural part of the tile wall.

Can I use this with the longer 22.5cm Alhambra White tiles?

Yes. Even though the rail is 15cm long, it is designed to be the universal trim for the entire Alhambra range. It works beautifully with both lengths; simply stagger the joints or line them up every two field tiles if using the shorter format.

Is it easy to clean?

Yes, extremely. The top horizontal edge of a dado rail can collect dust over time, but the high-gloss glaze makes it effortless to wipe clean with a damp cloth.

How do I end the rail if it doesn't go wall-to-wall?

If the rail ends in the middle of a wall, your installer will typically perform a "return" cut—mitring a tiny piece of the rail to turn back into the wall, creating a neat, finished end cap.

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.
