Description

A Bold Marble Border: East Hampton Black Marble Dado Trim

A honed black marble dado moulding lit with pale veining, to cap and frame your tiling — East Hampton from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

This dado is a trim piece — a sculpted black marble border designed to finish the top edge of a half-tiled wall or to draw a dramatic dado line. Cut from genuine black marble with white and grey veining, it delivers a crisp, high-contrast detail to bathrooms and hallways.

Sold individually, each length pairs with the East Hampton black field tiles and trims, or contrasts beautifully against the white marble. As a natural stone it is unique piece to piece, and being real marble it should be sealed on installation to guard against moisture and staining.

The Hyperion Family Promise

  • Design Continuity - A matching trim for the East Hampton black marble range — co-ordinate with the black field tiles, pencil and skirting, or contrast with the white marble family.
  • Premium Durability - Honed natural marble with diamond-sawn edges, suitable for interior walls, wet rooms and shower walls once correctly sealed.
  • Order a Sample - See the veining in your own light first. As an official Fired Earth stockist, we offer free cut samples to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge.
  • Dedicated Delivery - We arrange safe, secure delivery for your renovation, with free UK delivery on orders over £1,000.
  • Personalised Project Support - Our family-run team can help you calculate quantities: sold per piece, each length 30.5cm (approx. 3.27 pieces per linear metre).

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a flexible natural-stone adhesive and a charcoal grout for a seamless look, or a paler shade to lift the veining.
  • Sealing & Care: Being real marble, seal before grouting and again once installed. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner only — never vinegar, bleach or acidic products, which will etch natural marble.
  • Layout: Measure the run and allow for mitred cuts at corners; dry-lay the pieces first to plan neat joints with the surrounding tiling.

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.
