Moody Artisan Elegance: Fired Earth Designers Guild Shibori Graphite

Add depth and drama to your interior with Fired Earth Designers Guild Shibori Graphite Tile—a sophisticated porcelain tile that combines the soul of artisan textiles with a modern, moody palette.

Part of the exclusive The Designer Collection, this tile is a collaboration between Fired Earth and Tricia Guild. The Shibori pattern is inspired by the ancient Japanese art of tie-dyeing, featuring soft, bleeding edges that give the geometric design a hand-crafted feel. The Graphite colourway offers a rich, dark grey tone that provides a stunning, contemporary alternative to black. Crafted from high-quality porcelain in a versatile 20x20cm format, it is robust enough for high-traffic hallways, wet rooms, and exterior terraces.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Versatility: These tiles are rated for use on walls and floors throughout the home, including wet rooms, steam rooms, swimming pools, and external patios.
  • Pattern Alignment: The Shibori pattern creates a continuous geometric design. 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 seamless, cohesive look, we recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus 113 Cement Grey or 114 Anthracite. These darker tones blend with the graphite tile, creating a sophisticated, unified surface.

For a graphic, defined grid, use a lighter grey like Mapei Ultracolour Plus 110 Manhattan or 111 Silver Grey.

Is this ceramic or porcelain?

This is a porcelain tile. It offers the aesthetic appeal of a designer ceramic but with the superior strength, frost resistance, and durability of porcelain, making it suitable for high-traffic floors and outdoors.

Can I use this outside?

Yes. The frost-resistant porcelain body makes Shibori Graphite perfect for patios, pathways, and porches, allowing you to bring sophisticated design to your exterior spaces.

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.
