Product story

Dramatic Dark Marble: Avalon Tumbled Notte 40.6 x 40.6cm

A deep, characterful tumbled marble in a classic 40.6 x 40.6cm square — Avalon Notte from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Avalon Notte brings depth and drama. Its charcoal-to-graphite ground is threaded with pale grey and white veining, while the tumbled surface softens the intensity into something tactile and inviting rather than austere. Laid across a floor or a feature wall, it lends instant grounding and grandeur — stunning against brass, pale timber or a crisp white scheme.

A natural quarried marble, 1.2cm thick and supplied per tile, Avalon Notte is specified for internal walls and floors — including showers, fireplaces and over underfloor heating — and should be sealed to keep it looking its best.

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. Fired Earth ranges are returned through Fired Earth’s own returns process, and 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

Is the colour solid black?

No. While the base colour is a deep charcoal/black, the tile is characterised by "Extreme Variation." This means you will see varying shades of grey, along with prominent white veining, silica lines, and occasional beige markings. This variation is what gives the floor its expensive, natural look.

What does "Tumbled" mean?

The "tumbled" finish means the stone has been processed to soften the sharp edges and give the surface a slightly worn, antique texture. It is not polished or shiny. This matt finish is more forgiving of dust and footprints than polished black marble.

Is it suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, it is excellent for bathrooms. The tumbled finish provides natural slip resistance (rated R10), making it safer for wet floors than polished stone. It creates a stunning "spa-like" feel when used on both floors and walls.

Do I need to seal dark marble?

Yes. Even though it is dark, water and oils can still leave marks or darken the stone unevenly if it isn't sealed. We recommend using a quality impregnating sealer (like MN Stainstop) during installation to protect the stone for years to come.

Can I use it with Underfloor Heating?

Absolutely. Avalon Notte is a dense natural stone that conducts heat very well. It warms up quickly and retains that heat, making your floor feel luxurious and cozy.

Installation & Care Tips

Marble Care & Installation

  • Seal before and after grouting: Marble is porous — apply a quality impregnating stone sealer before grouting and again once the grout has cured, to guard against staining and water absorption.
  • Stone-safe adhesive: Fix with a flexible, stone-safe adhesive suited to natural stone and to the substrate.
  • Clean gently: Wipe with warm water and a pH-neutral stone cleaner only — never acidic or vinegar-based products, which etch and dull natural marble.
  • Blend the boxes: Shuffle tiles from several boxes as you lay so the natural veining and tone fall evenly across the surface.
