Description

The Dentil Course, Brought Down to a Tiled Dado

A run of small square blocks in relief, 152 x 50mm and glazed in a deep green that holds its colour indoors: the Artworks Edwardian Green Dentil Moulding, from Hyperion Tiles, your official Original Style stockist.

Dentils are the small teeth cut beneath a classical cornice, and this moulding brings that detail down to wall height. Each 152mm piece carries a course of square blocks with an even gap between them, so a length of six or seven reads as a steady repeated beat rather than a single line. At 50mm deep it has enough face to register from across a room, which is precisely why it exists: to give a plain run of tiling a proper architectural close instead of a raw top edge.

It belongs at the head of a half-height dado, the defining Edwardian arrangement, with tiling to about shoulder height and warm white paintwork above. The glaze does real work here. It gathers in the recesses between the blocks and goes to a deeper green there, while the block faces stay open and reflective, so the ornament reads in light and shadow rather than being merely suggested. Under an electric hall fitting the course separates into distinct teeth; in daylight from a fanlight it settles into a quieter rhythm.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix on white flexible adhesive and choose a grout in the middle of the range — a mid to deep grey, or a green-grey pitched close to the tile itself. Brilliant white rules a hard bright grid across a colour this saturated and fights it, while charcoal or black weighs the green down until it reads far darker than it is. Work the grout into the joints only, lift it out of the gaps between the blocks before it sets, and clear any haze promptly, as it shows readily on a deep gloss glaze.
  • Layout: Set the course out from the most visible end of the room so the block spacing runs true past door architraves rather than dying awkwardly into them. At an external angle, mitre the course or carry a few blocks back along the adjoining wall. A trim that wraps the corner is not a line we carry; Original Style will press one to order in this colour, so raise it with us early — specials of that sort come with minimums and a wait. Cut ends show a pale biscuit line against the glaze, so place cuts at internal corners or where a piece meets an architrave.
  • Cleaning: The gloss glaze is non-porous and needs no sealing. Wipe with warm water and a mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads and acidic limescale removers, which will dull the surface over time.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Can Edwardian Green tiles be used in a shower or wet room?

Yes — and this is the colour that was made for it. Original Style developed Edwardian Green specifically for wet areas: showers, wet rooms, bathrooms and the wall behind a kitchen sink. It is made with a copper-free glaze recipe, which stands up to constant water better than the copper-based greens do. You still need a properly tanked substrate, a white flexible adhesive and a grout rated for wet areas, but the glaze itself is impervious and needs no sealing.

Can I use these on the floor?

No — Artworks is a wall range only. The ceramic body is not rated for foot traffic and the gloss glaze would scratch and lose its shine quickly underfoot. For a floor to sit beneath an Edwardian Green wall, a Victorian-style geometric floor or an encaustic-effect tile is the historically correct partner, and our team can help you pair one.

Will the colour be consistent across my order?

The Artworks glazes are applied over a pressed ceramic body and slight variation from tile to tile is part of the character rather than a fault — it is what stops a large tiled wall looking printed. Variation between production batches can be a little greater, so order the whole of a room in one go where you can, and mix tiles from several boxes as you set out rather than working box by box.

What adhesive and grout should I use with Edwardian Green?

Use a white flexible tile adhesive, which keeps the glaze reading true. For grout, aim for the middle: a mid to deep grey, or a soft green-grey close to the tile's own tone. Brilliant white draws a hard bright grid over a colour this saturated and fights it. Charcoal or black goes the other way and weighs the green down until it reads as a far darker colour than it is — precisely the effect Edwardian tiling was moving away from. A grey a shade or two darker than the wall you want lets the green stay green.

Is Edwardian Green in stock, and how quickly can I have it?

The range is usually held in stock and we can normally despatch within a few working days; mouldings and trims occasionally run on a longer lead time, so it is worth a call on 01344 620211 before you plan the fitting week. UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000, and we can hold a delivery back until your site is ready.

How does Edwardian Green compare with the other greens in the Artworks range?

Edwardian Green is the wet-area sibling of Victorian Green. Original Style describe it as offering most of the grandeur of Victorian Green while using a copper-free glaze recipe, which makes it the more hardwearing of the two in a shower or wet room. The trade-off is slightly less of the depth and natural variation that copper-based glazes give, so it reads a shade more subdued and a little more even across a wall. The other three greens are different colours rather than different depths: Pavilion Green is a brighter, more saturated mid green, Palm Green leans warm and leafy, and Jade Breeze is the palest, with a cool blue-grey cast. Cut samples are the only reliable way to choose between them, and we are happy to send several.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. Cut samples are free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or we can post one to you for the cost of postage. Seeing the glaze in your own light is the surest way to judge how it will sit against your paint, stone and metalwork.

How much extra should I order for cuts and wastage?

As a guide, add around 10% to your measured area for cuts and breakages, and nearer 15% for a herringbone, diagonal or brick-bond layout. It is also worth keeping a few spare tiles from the same batch in case a repair is ever needed.

Which pieces are available in Edwardian Green?

We stock seventeen: the 152mm field tile and its half tile, a 228 x 75mm large brick, bevelled metro tiles in 150 x 75mm and 75 x 75mm, a skirting tile, a plain cornice, and ten mouldings — Victoria, Egg & Dart, Dentil, Hogarth, Albert, Rope, Astragal, Scroll, Sigma and Omega. Original Style also make the Artworks external corner trim to order in Edwardian Green, so if a scheme needs a wrapped outside corner rather than a mitre, call us on 01344 620211 — made-to-order pieces can carry a minimum order quantity and a longer lead time. Tell us the room and we will work out what you need.

How do I finish the top of a half-height tiled wall?

With a moulding laid horizontally along the top course. The choice is a matter of weight: the Victoria and Plain Cornice at 75mm give a substantial architectural capping, the Egg & Dart and Dentil carry relief ornament, the Albert, Hogarth and Rope sit in the middle, and the Astragal, Sigma, Scroll and Omega are slim beads for a quieter line. All are supplied four to a box covering 0.6 linear metres. Measure the run, add 10%, and round up.
