A Moulded Dado in Bottle Green: Edwardian Caledonian Dado Ceramic Border Tile

Edwardian Caledonian Dado, a moulded deep Caledonian bottle green ceramic dado rail trim from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The Caledonian Dado is the elegant border rail of the Edwardian range — a slim, moulded profile in glossy Caledonian green that draws a horizontal line across the wall, defining the classic dado height so characteristic of Edwardian interiors. It is a trim piece, sold individually.

Glazed and decorated ceramic with a crackle-glazed surface, its 22.8 x 7.6cm profile has genuine sculptural depth. Set it above the Acanthus field tiles and Caledonian base to complete a properly resolved, period-correct wall.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • 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.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "Dado" tile?

This tile functions as a border or chair rail. It has a specific moulded profile that caps off the top of a tiled wall, providing a neat, finished edge so you don't have a raw tile edge meeting your paint or wallpaper.

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, you might prefer a darker grey like Mapei Ultracolour Plus 114 Anthracite.

Does this match the Acanthus tile?

Yes. The Edwardian Caledonian Dado is the exact same bottle green colour and width (22.8cm) as the Edwardian Acanthus Caledonian tile, ensuring the grout lines line up perfectly vertically.

Do I really need to seal a ceramic tile?

In this specific case, yes. The traditional glaze used on the Edwardian range is designed to crackle (craze). Sealing protects these fine cracks from absorbing dirt and grout pigment.

Can I use this in a shower?

Yes, it is excellent for finishing a half-tiled shower wall. Ensure it is sealed properly to prevent water ingress.
