Description

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.

The Hyperion Family Promise

  • Design Continuity - Avalon comes in four tumbled marble colourways — Bianco, Crema, Notte and Rosso — all in a 40.6 x 40.6cm square, so a single stone can flow across floor, wall and fireplace.
  • Genuine Natural Stone - Each tile is a unique piece of quarried marble, with authentic veining and shade movement no man-made tile can replicate.
  • Order a Sample - See the veining in your own light first. As an official Fired Earth stockist, we offer free cut samples to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge.
  • Underfloor Heating Ready - Marble is a natural heat conductor, making Avalon an ideal warm floor for bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Dedicated Delivery - We arrange safe, secure delivery for your stone, with free UK delivery on orders over £1,000.

⚠ 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.

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.

We are an authorised Fired Earth retailer with a family-run approach. This means you get the same premium products but with faster, personal technical support, expert advice on sealers and adhesives, and free delivery on orders over £1,000.
