Product details
Description
Part of the celebrated Edwardian Collection, this rail tile is inspired by the timeless designs of the early 20th-century London Underground. The Highgate Dado features a traditional moulded profile finished in a brilliant, glossy white. It is the essential finishing touch for any period-style room, designed to sit on top of the Acanthus Highgate wall tiles to create a defined waist-height border or to frame a feature area.
✓ The Hyperion Family Promise
- ✅ Official Fired Earth Stockist - We are a trusted partner of Fired Earth. Purchase genuine architectural ceramics with confidence from our family-run business.
- ✅ Perfect Alignment - At 22.8cm wide, this dado matches the width of the Highgate Acanthus and Base tiles perfectly, allowing for flawless vertical grout lines.
- ✅ Authentic Glaze - Features the same deep, glossy white finish as the heritage originals, complete with characteristic crackle (crazing).
- ✅ Architectural Definition - The moulded profile creates a neat, professional stop to your tiling, protecting the top edge and adding visual weight.
Design Inspiration
🚿 Crisp Bathroom Borders
Finish a half-tiled bathroom wall with style. The white dado rail creates a clean line between your sanitary gloss tiles and the painted wall above. Shop bathroom tiles.
🍽️ Kitchen Splashbacks
Use the dado to cap a tiled splashback behind a range cooker or sink. It provides a finished edge that is easy to wipe clean and looks far more premium than a raw tile edge. View kitchen tiles.
🏛️ Hallway Wainscoting

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips
- Crazing: Like the original tiles from 1903, this glaze is designed to "craze" (develop fine hairline cracks) over time. This is a deliberate feature that adds to the authentic antique character.
- Sealing: You must seal these tiles with a high-quality impregnator before grouting. This is critical for white tiles to prevent grout colour or dirt from bleeding into the fine cracks of the glaze.
- Installation: This is a dado (border) tile. It is typically installed at the top of a tiled section (wainscoting) or between two different tile designs to create a horizontal break.
- Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive pads, as they can scratch the high-gloss surface.
