Golden Age Warmth: Fired Earth Cinema Rio

Bathe your walls in the soft, glamorous glow of the 1930s with Fired Earth Cinema Rio Rectangle Glazed Tiles—a warm cream wall tile that evokes the luxurious atmosphere of a vintage picture palace.

Part of the exclusive Fired Earth Cinema collection, the Rio edition offers a sophisticated rich cream / beige hue reminiscent of the limestone foyers and plush interiors of the Art Deco period. Designed to work in harmony with the jade green 'Lincoln' tile or stand alone as a neutral backdrop, it features a high-quality glossy glaze that reflects light beautifully. The classic 10x20cm rectangular format is perfect for creating authentic brick-bond splashbacks, shower walls, or wainscoting that feels established and timeless.

Design Inspiration

🍽️ The Heritage Splashback

Swap standard white subway tiles for the warmth of 'Rio'. This rich cream tone softens the look of a kitchen, bridging the gap between cabinetry and worktops. It looks particularly stunning with brass or antique bronze hardware. Shop kitchen tiles.

🛁 Art Deco Sanctuary

Pair 'Rio' with the jade green 'Lincoln' tile for a classic two-tone Art Deco bathroom. Use Rio on the upper walls to keep the room feeling bright and airy, anchored by the darker green below. View bathroom tiles.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Layout Options: The 10x20cm format is highly versatile. Lay in a brick-bond for a traditional look, or a vertical stack for a modern twist.
  • Grout Joint: We recommend a standard 3mm grout joint. This allows the tiles to sit comfortably and accommodates the slight, authentic variations of the ceramic.
  • No Sealing Needed: As a glazed ceramic tile, Cinema Rio is non-porous and requires no sealing. It is robust and easy to wipe clean.
  • Adhesive: Use a standard white tile adhesive suitable for ceramic wall tiles to ensure the cream tone remains true.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What colour is "Rio"?

Cinema Rio is a warm, rich cream colour. It is deeper and softer than a bright white, offering a sunny, sun-bleached tone that evokes the glamour of 1930s interiors.

What grout colour should I use?

For a seamless, warm look, we recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus 130 Jasmine or 132 Beige. These tones blend beautifully with the cream tile.

For a crisp, clean contrast, use Mapei Ultracolour Plus 100 White.

If you want to highlight the brick pattern, a light grey like Mapei Ultracolour Plus 110 Manhattan creates a subtle, stylish definition.

Do I need to seal these tiles?

No. The Cinema Rio tiles have a high-quality glazed finish that is impervious to water and stains. They do not require sealing.

Can I use these on the floor?

No. These are wall tiles only. They are not suitable for floor traffic.

Are they suitable for shower walls?

Yes, absolutely. The glazed surface is waterproof and easy to clean, making them an excellent choice for shower enclosures, wet room walls, and bathroom splashbacks.
