Description

 

Dramatic Detail: East Hampton Black Marble Dado

Create a striking boundary in your home with the East Hampton Black Marble Dado—a solid stone moulding that adds architectural depth and contrast.

Crafted from the same dense **natural black marble** as the East Hampton tiles, this dado rail features the collection's signature **white and grey veining** against a deep black background. Sized at **30.5cm in length**, it aligns perfectly with the standard East Hampton tile widths. Its **honed finish** (diamond-sawn) provides a smooth, matte texture that exudes luxury. Use it to cap off a white marble wall for a monochrome "tuxedo" look, or to frame a feature panel of black herringbone tiles.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Weight & Support: This is a solid stone moulding (2.6cm thick). Ensure it is well-supported with spacers or batons until the adhesive sets to prevent slipping.
  • Sealing is Essential: Black marble is sensitive to acidic staining (etching). It must be sealed to protect the finish. We recommend sealing it before installation and again after grouting with a high-quality impregnator like Lithofin MN Stainstop.
  • Mitred Corners: For external corners, the stone will need to be mitre-cut at 45 degrees. A high-quality wet cutter is essential for a clean finish.
  • Cleaning: Never use acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon, bleach) on black marble as they will strip the surface. Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a Dado tile?

A dado (or moulding) tile is used to create a finished edge or a decorative border. It is commonly used to cap off tiles that only go halfway up a wall, or to create a frame around a panel of different tiles.

Is this real stone?

Yes, this is genuine natural black marble. It matches the East Hampton Black floor and wall tiles perfectly, featuring the same authentic veining. It is not a ceramic imitation.

The name says "Polished" but the description says "Honed"?

While some suppliers may label it loosely, the East Hampton collection generally features a "Diamond Sawn Honed" finish, which is smooth and matte rather than highly reflective. This provides a more contemporary and sophisticated look than high-gloss marble.

Does it need sealing?

Yes. Natural marble is porous. Black marble is particularly prone to "etching" from acidic liquids. Sealing is mandatory to protect the finish and maintain the deep black colour.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?

We are a family-run business with years of experience in natural stone. We can guide you through the specific installation requirements—such as choosing the right white adhesive and grout—to ensure your marble installation remains beautiful for decades.
