Burgundy Sigma Moulding Ceramic Wall Tile 152x26mm

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
