Product story

Warm Stone: Ardesia Almond 32x62.5cm

Lay the look of split-face slate with the Ardesia Almond 32x62.5cm porcelain tile from Hyperion Tiles.

Almond is the softest of the four — a pale, warm sand tone carrying the cleft, riven texture of a quarried slate bed. It is the one to choose when you want the texture of split stone without the weight of a grey, and it lifts a north-facing room in a way the darker tones cannot. Finished to a V4 substantial variation, no two tiles are alike.

Real slate is porous, delaminates and needs sealing. Porcelain gives you the same riven face with none of that: frostproof, impervious, rated F4 for heavy domestic traffic, and equally at home on an internal floor, a wall or a sheltered external wall.

Installation & care

Adhesive & Grout: Use a high-quality flexible adhesive suitable for porcelain. Note that Ardesia is not rectified, so it needs a slightly wider grout joint than a rectified tile — around 3mm — to absorb the small size tolerance. A warm sand grout keeps the riven texture reading as stone rather than a grid.
Layout Options: A one-third stagger suits the slate look and echoes how real riven stone is laid. Dry-lay several packs and shuffle first — with V4 variation the tone shifts markedly tile to tile, and clustering the darker ones will show.
Cleaning: Sweep and clean with warm water and a mild floor cleaner. Unlike natural slate this needs no sealing and will not flake, stain or shed.

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. 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 many Ardesia Almond tiles do I need per square metre?

Each box of Ardesia Almond contains 5 tiles and covers exactly 1m², at 5 tiles per square metre. We recommend adding around 10% extra for cuts and wastage, so allow a little over one box for every square metre of coverage.

Can Ardesia Almond 32x62.5cm Porcelain Tile be used on floors?

Yes. Ardesia Almond is a glazed porcelain tile rated F4 for domestic floors with heavy traffic. It is frostproof and suitable for internal walls, internal floors and external walls, and works well with underfloor heating — ideal for kitchens, hallways, bathrooms and sheltered outdoor walls.

How do I clean and maintain Ardesia slate-effect porcelain tiles?

Although Ardesia has the look of natural slate, it is a glazed porcelain tile, so it never needs sealing. Clean with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner, avoiding abrasive pads and acidic products. The textured slate-effect surface disguises everyday wear and stays looking natural with very little upkeep.
