Sophisticated Geometry: Fired Earth Designers Guild Laterza Slate Blue

Bring the timeless elegance of the Jazz Age to your home with Fired Earth Designers Guild Laterza Slate Blue Tile—a striking porcelain tile that combines classical pattern with contemporary colour.

A standout piece in The Designer Collection, Laterza is an exclusive collaboration between Fired Earth and Tricia Guild. Drawing inspiration from the glamour of the 1920s, the design features a sleek geometric trellis that feels both modern and characterful. The Slate Blue colourway offers a deep, calming blue-grey tone against a crisp white background, creating a bold yet refined graphic look. Crafted from durable, frost-proof porcelain in a versatile 20x20cm format, this tile is perfect for adding designer flair to bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and even outdoor patios.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Versatility: These tiles are rated for use on walls and floors throughout the home, including wet rooms, steam rooms, and external patios.
  • Pattern Alignment: The Laterza pattern connects to form a continuous grid. We strongly recommend dry-laying a section before fixing to ensure perfect alignment.
  • Grout Joint: A standard 3mm grout joint is recommended. The colour you choose will either blend with the pattern or frame it (see FAQs).
  • Adhesive: Use a white flexible cement-based adhesive suitable for porcelain tiles (e.g., Keraquick White).

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What grout colour should I use?

For a crisp, clean look that matches the white background, we highly recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus 100 White or 103 Moon White. This allows the slate blue pattern to stand out clearly.

For a softer, blended appearance, you could use a pale grey like Mapei Ultracolour Plus 110 Manhattan, which picks up the cool undertones of the slate blue.

Is this ceramic or porcelain?

This is a porcelain tile. This means it is significantly harder and denser than ceramic, making it frost-proof and suitable for high-traffic floors and outdoor use.

Can I use this outside?

Yes. The frost-resistant porcelain body makes Laterza Slate Blue an excellent choice for patios, pathways, and porches, allowing you to extend your style outdoors.

Do I need to seal these tiles?

No. The tile has a high-quality glazed surface which is non-porous and resistant to staining. No sealing is required.

Is it suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes. Porcelain is an excellent thermal conductor and works perfectly with both wet and electric underfloor heating systems.
