Product story

The Foundation of a Period Wall: Edwardian Caledonian Base Ceramic Skirting Tile

Edwardian Caledonian Base, a moulded deep Caledonian bottle green ceramic skirting trim from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The Caledonian Base is the finishing foundation piece of the Edwardian scheme — a moulded skirting tile in glossy Caledonian green that grounds a run of Acanthus wall tiles with a crisp, architectural base course. It is a trim piece, sold individually, and designed to sit neatly at the foot of the wall.

Like the rest of the range it is glazed and decorated ceramic with a crackle glaze, so its bottle-green surface carries the same soft craquerlure and gentle sheen. Use it to complete the Caledonian colourway alongside the Acanthus field tiles and matching dado rail.

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

To request a return, contact Hyperion within 14 days of delivery. For eligible online consumer cancellations, you have a further 14 days after telling us to send the goods back. Contact us for the correct return address; your statutory cancellation does not depend on our authorisation.

Additional supplier returns have their own eligibility rules, charges and exclusions. These do not override statutory cancellation rights or rights for faulty goods. See our refund policy and supplier return guidance before arranging a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "Base" tile?

This tile functions as a skirting board. It has a specific moulded profile that curves out slightly at the bottom to meet the floor, providing a neat, hygienic, and architectural finish to the bottom of your tiled wall.

What grout should I use?

For a crisp, period-correct look, we recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus 100 White or 103 Moon White. This highlights the shape of the tiles.

For a subtler finish that blends the skirting into the floor, you might prefer a darker grey like Mapei Ultracolour Plus 114 Anthracite.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Sealing: The crackle glaze is porous — seal the tiles before grouting, and again after, to protect the crazed surface from staining.
  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix to a sound, dry interior wall with a quality flexible adhesive and grout in a soft, tonal shade. Keep a 3mm joint to allow for the natural size tolerance.
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner; avoid harsh abrasives and acidic products that can dull the glaze. For interior walls only — not suitable for floors or external use.
