The Detail That Makes the Difference: East Hampton Marble Pencil

Achieve a professional, museum-quality finish in your bathroom with the East Hampton Marble Pencil—a slender natural stone moulding essential for edging and framing.

Often the unsung hero of a luxury installation, this pencil tile is crafted from the same high-quality **natural marble** as the East Hampton collection. It features the signature **cool grey veining** and a smooth **honed finish**, ensuring a perfect match. Its primary purpose is to cover the exposed "biscuit" (edge) of your tiles where they don't meet a wall, such as around a shower niche, a window reveal, or along the top of a half-tiled wall. It transforms a rough edge into a sophisticated, rounded feature.

Design Inspiration

🚿 Framed Niches

Use the pencil to frame a recessed shelf (niche) inside your shower. It hides the cut edges of the wall tiles and frames your toiletries beautifully. Shop bathroom tiles.

🏛️ Dado Effect

Create a subtle separation between two different tile types (e.g., plain marble below, mosaic above) by running a horizontal line of pencil moulding. View wall tiles.

🍳 Neat Splashbacks

If tiling only part-way up a wall, finish the top row with this pencil. It removes the need for sharp, unfinished edges and looks far superior to chrome trim. Browse kitchen tiles.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Fragility: Pencil mouldings are thin and made of natural stone. Handle with care to avoid snapping. Always order 10-15% extra to account for cuts and accidental breakage during installation.
  • Sealing is Essential: Like all East Hampton marble, this moulding is porous. It must be sealed to prevent staining. We recommend sealing it before installation and again after grouting.
  • Mitred Corners: For external corners (like the edge of a window reveal), the pencil will need to be mitre-cut at 45 degrees. A precision wet cutter is essential for a clean join.
  • Use White Adhesive: Always use a White flexible tile adhesive to prevent shadowing through the pale stone.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "Pencil" tile used for?

A pencil tile is a thin, rounded moulding used to create a neat finish. It covers the rough, unglazed edges of field tiles where they end on a wall (like halfway up, or around a window). It provides a smooth, professional transition.

Is this real stone?

Yes, this is genuine natural limestone. It matches the Palio floor and wall tiles perfectly, featuring the same authentic fossils and honing. It is not a ceramic imitation.

How do I cut it?

Natural marble pencil mouldings should be cut using a wet tile saw with a diamond blade. For corners, they should be "mitred" (cut at 45 degrees) to create a sharp, neat right angle.

Does it need sealing?

Yes. Natural marble is porous. To prevent absorption of water, oils, and dirt, it must be sealed. We recommend sealing once before grouting and once after grouting for maximum protection.

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.
