Product story

A Jewel of Natural Marble: Calacatta Viola Hexagon Mosaic

Italy's coveted violet-veined marble, cut into a classic hexagon mosaic — Calacatta Viola from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Quarried in Italy, Calacatta Viola is one of the most desirable marbles in the world — rich violet and burgundy veining flowing across a bright white ground, touched with soft green and grey. Rendered as a mesh-backed hexagon mosaic, each little facet catches the veining differently, creating a surface with wonderful depth and movement.

Ideal for a feature wall, a shower niche, a splashback or a characterful floor, the hexagon mosaic brings genuine marble luxury to smaller and more intricate areas. As a natural stone it is porous and should be sealed, rewarding a little care with lasting beauty.

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

Why does the tile look different from the photo?

This is natural marble, not a printed ceramic. "Extreme variation" is a key characteristic of Calacatta Viola. You should expect a mix of heavy purple veining, lighter white patches, and even hints of green or grey. This natural variety is what makes it a luxury product.

Can I use acidic cleaners?

No. Marble is calcium-based and sensitive to acid. Never use bleach, vinegar, or harsh bathroom cleaners as they will etch the surface. Use a PH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for natural stone.

Is it suitable for a shower floor?

Yes! The mosaic format means there are many grout lines, which provide excellent natural slip resistance, making it safer for wet room floors than large slab marble.

Does it need sealing?

Yes. It is a natural stone product and must be sealed to protect against staining and moisture absorption. We can supply the correct sealer for your project.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?

We are natural stone specialists. We understand the specific care requirements of Italian marble and can guide you through the installation process to ensure your investment looks beautiful for decades.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Sealing: As a natural marble, seal with a quality impregnating sealer before grouting and again once installed. Reapply periodically to protect against staining.
  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix the mesh-backed sheets with a white, marble-safe adhesive and a non-staining grout in a tonal shade. Avoid acidic or abrasive products, which can etch the surface.
  • Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner — never vinegar, lemon or bleach-based products.
