Rich Espresso Indulgence: Dakota Chocolate

Pour deep, delicious colour over your walls with Dakota Chocolate, a gloss zellige-style porcelain wall tile from Hyperion Tiles.

Dakota Chocolate drenches the wall in rich espresso browns, its high-gloss glaze rippling with the gentle undulations of handmade zellige. The generous 32 x 62.5cm format is cleverly scored to read as rows of individual glazed fingers, delivering artisan texture with far fewer tiles to fix.

Made from gloss glazed porcelain and frostproof to its core, Dakota Chocolate suits internal and external walls alike - a sumptuous backdrop for kitchen splashbacks, bathrooms and dramatic feature walls.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a flexible, cement-based porcelain adhesive; a dark tonal grout keeps the glossy surface looking rich and continuous.

  • Cleaning: The gloss glaze wipes clean effortlessly with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner - no sealing required.
Samples

Tone, glaze and veining all read differently in your own light. Cut samples are free — sample postage is £4.99 (£8 for Original Style) and we refund it on tile orders over £50 with the code we email you. Our family-run team is happy to check quantities and finishes with you on 01344 620211.

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

How do I calculate how many Dakota Chocolate tiles I need?

Measure your wall area in square metres - each pack of 5 Dakota Chocolate tiles covers exactly 1m² (5 tiles per m²), so your area in square metres equals the number of packs. Round up to the next full pack and add 10% to allow for cuts and wastage. If you would like us to double-check your numbers, call our friendly team on 01344 620211.

Where can I use Dakota Chocolate?

Dakota Chocolate is a gloss glazed porcelain wall tile designed for internal walls, and because it is frostproof it can also be used on external walls. It is a wall tile rather than a floor tile, making it perfect for kitchen splashbacks, bathroom walls, showers and outdoor feature walls.

How do I clean and care for Dakota Chocolate?

The gloss glazed porcelain surface of Dakota Chocolate needs no sealing. Simply wipe it down with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, and buff dry with a soft cloth to keep the glossy, zellige-style finish gleaming.

Can I order a sample of Dakota Chocolate?

Yes. A cut sample of Dakota Chocolate is free to collect from our family-run showroom at 67 High Street, Ascot, or we can post one to your door for a small postage charge. Gloss glazes shift with the light, so seeing the tile at home is always worthwhile.
