Product story

Slate in Miniature: Ardesia Almond Mosaic 30x30cm

Carry the Ardesia slate into places a large tile cannot go with the Almond 5x5cm mosaic from Hyperion Tiles.

The same riven slate face as the Ardesia Almond field tile — a pale, warm sand — cut down to 5cm chips and mesh-mounted on a 30 x 30cm sheet. That small module is what lets you take the stone somewhere the 32 x 62.5cm tile simply will not follow: a shower floor with a fall to the gully, a curved step, a niche, a bench return.

Frostproof glazed porcelain, F4 rated for heavy domestic traffic, suitable for internal walls and floors and external walls. Because it shares the Almond tone exactly, it can run as a shower floor beneath Ardesia Almond walls without a break in the stone.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a high-quality flexible adhesive suitable for porcelain. On a shower floor the adhesive and grout should be rated for constant wetting, and the falls must be formed in the screed before you tile — a mosaic follows a fall, it does not create one.
  • Layout Options: Set the sheets out dry first and check the joints line through between sheets; on a mosaic that sheet-to-sheet joint is the giveaway if it drifts. The extra grout lines a 5cm chip creates are also what gives a shower floor its grip.
  • Cleaning: Clean with warm water and a mild cleaner. Unlike natural slate this needs no sealing and will not flake 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 Mosaic sheets do I need per square metre?

Each box of Ardesia Almond Mosaic contains 6 mesh-backed sheets and covers 0.54m², which works out at 11.11 sheets per square metre. Order around 10% extra for cuts and wastage, especially where sheets need trimming around edges and fixtures.

Can Ardesia Almond Mosaic 30x30cm Tile be used on floors?

Yes. The mesh-backed mosaic is glazed porcelain rated F4 for domestic floors and is frostproof, suitable for internal walls, internal floors and external walls. Its extra grout lines add grip, making it a popular choice for shower floors and decorative slate-effect borders.

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

The Ardesia mosaic is glazed porcelain with a natural slate look, so it never needs sealing. Clean with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner, and avoid abrasive pads or acidic products. Because a mosaic has more grout joints, a soft brush helps keep the lines fresh and the slate-effect chips looking their best.

Can I order a sample of Ardesia Almond Mosaic 30x30cm Tile?

Yes. We offer free cut samples, which you are welcome to collect from the Hyperion Tiles showroom at 67 High Street, Ascot, or we can post one to you for a small postage charge. Call our team on 01344 620211 to arrange your sample.
