A Warm Woven Marble: East Hampton Emperador Basketweave Marble Mosaic

A honed basketweave mosaic in rich brown Emperador marble, deepened with darker veining — East Hampton from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The Emperador colourway swaps cool white for a warm, chocolate-brown marble, giving the classic basketweave a richer, more traditional character. Supplied on mesh-backed sheets of genuine Emperador stone, it brings depth and warmth to bathroom floors, shower niches and feature walls.

As a natural stone, each sheet is unique, with tonal movement running through the weave. The honed surface is smooth and contemporary, and being real marble it should be sealed on installation to guard against moisture and staining.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix mesh-backed sheets with a natural-stone adhesive and choose a warm-toned grout to complement the Emperador brown.
  • 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: Align the sheet edges so the basketweave pattern runs continuously, keeping the joints even between sheets.

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.
