A Row of Small Shadows Along the Top of the Wall

A 152 x 50mm ceramic moulding with a repeating dentil block relief, finished in deep claret gloss: the Artworks Burgundy Dentil Moulding, from Hyperion Tiles, your official Original Style stockist.

Dentils are the small square teeth that run beneath a classical cornice, and they exist for one reason — to break a long horizontal line into a countable rhythm. This ceramic version does the same at 50mm deep: a tidy procession of blocks and gaps that gives a tiled wall a proper architectural band without the bulk of a full cornice. It can finish a run on its own, or slot beneath the Victoria or the Plain Cornice as the middle tier of a built-up top.

The claret glaze makes that rhythm far more legible than a pale colour would. Each recess between the teeth fills with glaze and goes almost to black cherry, while the face of every block stays bright and glossy, so the run reads as alternating light and dark from across the room instead of a shallow texture you have to stand close to see. It works especially well above a dado in a hall, around the top of a snug or a bar, or in a cloakroom where an enclosed, considered feeling is the whole point.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with white flexible adhesive and grout in a mid grey or soft stone tone slightly lighter than the tile. Brilliant white is the one to avoid: on a claret this deep it prints a hard grid over the wall and kills the colour. Rake the grout out of the spaces between the teeth before it goes off, or the pattern loses its shadow.
  • Layout: Because the teeth repeat, a badly placed cut shows immediately. Set out from the centre of the main wall, and where a run must be cut, take it at the end that is least seen — the biscuit beneath the glaze is pale, so a cut edge shows as a light line.
  • Cleaning: The gloss glaze is non-porous and needs no sealing. Wipe with warm water and a mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads and acidic limescale removers, which will dull the surface over time.
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

Can Artworks Burgundy tiles be used in a shower or wet room?

Yes. Artworks is specified for both wet and dry wall areas, so Burgundy is at home in a shower enclosure, a wet room or around a bath. The background must be sound, dry and properly tanked, and a flexible waterproof adhesive and grout used throughout the wet zone. A deep claret glaze is striking in a shower — wet, the colour goes darker and more saturated still, closer to port than to red wine.

Can Artworks Burgundy be used on a floor?

No. Artworks Burgundy is a glazed ceramic wall tile and is not rated for floors. The glaze would scratch and wear through under traffic, and a gloss surface gives little grip underfoot. Keep it on the walls and choose a porcelain, quarry or geometric floor beneath it — a black and white geometric or a red quarry tile both sit naturally under this colour, and our team can help you pair them.

Will Artworks Burgundy match my existing tiles?

Burgundy is a deeply pigmented red glaze, and reds move more between production batches than almost any other colour — the eye is unusually sensitive to a shift in a red tone. Order the whole job at once so it comes from one batch, keep a few spares from it for later repairs, and if you are matching to tiles already on the wall, ask us for a sample to hold against them before committing.

What adhesive and grout should I use with Artworks Burgundy?

Fix with a white flexible tile adhesive and allow a 2-3mm joint. For grout, a mid grey, a warm putty or a soft stone tone all work well against the claret. Avoid a brilliant white — on a red this deep it draws a hard white grid over the wall and makes the colour look flatter than it is. A grout a shade or two lighter than the tile keeps the pattern legible without shouting.

Is Artworks Burgundy in stock, and how quickly can it be delivered?

Burgundy is usually held in stock across the range. We deliver throughout the UK, and delivery is free on orders over £1,000; below that it is calculated at checkout. If your project is on a deadline, or you need a large quantity of a single piece, call the showroom on 01344 620211 and we will confirm availability before you order.

How does Artworks Burgundy compare with the other Artworks colours?

Burgundy is the most formal colour in the range. Brilliant White is cool and optical, Vintage White the warmest and most aged, County White a soft creamy Victorian white, Ivory a neutral cream with a grey undertone, Palladian Beige a quiet warm stone and Ochre a deep golden yellow. Teapot Brown is the other dark colour — a treacle brown that reads as utilitarian and homely. Burgundy is its opposite in mood: a claret red that reads as dressed, civic and deliberate, the colour of a dining room or a club rather than a scullery.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. Cut samples are free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or we can post one to you for the cost of postage. Seeing the glaze in your own light is the surest way to judge how it will sit against your paint, stone and metalwork.

How much extra should I order for cuts and wastage?

As a guide, add around 10% to your measured area for cuts and breakages, and nearer 15% for a herringbone, diagonal or brick-bond layout. It is also worth keeping a few spare tiles from the same batch in case a repair is ever needed.

Which Artworks pieces are available in Burgundy?

Eighteen pieces: the 152 x 152mm field tile, the 152 x 76mm half tile, a 228 x 75mm large brick, bevelled metro tiles in 150 x 75mm and 75 x 75mm, a skirting tile, a plain cornice, an external corner trim, and ten mouldings — Victoria, Albert, Astragal, Dentil, Egg & Dart, Hogarth, Omega, Rope, Scroll and Sigma. Burgundy does not include handed corner pieces, an internal corner trim, wrapping pieces, rectangles or rounded edges; where those details are needed they are mitred or butted on site.
