A Sculpted White Dado Rail: Edwardian Highgate Dado Ceramic Border Tile

Edwardian Highgate Dado, a moulded soft Highgate white ceramic dado rail trim from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The Highgate Dado draws the classic Edwardian dado line in soft white — a slim, moulded border rail that brings quiet definition and rhythm to a tiled wall. It is a trim piece, sold individually, and turns a simple field of tiles into a considered period composition.

Glazed and decorated ceramic with a crackle-glazed finish, its 22.8 x 7.6cm moulded profile catches the light with real depth. Combine it with the Acanthus Highgate field tiles and Highgate base for a complete, authentically Edwardian wall.

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 seamless white look, we recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus 100 White.

For a vintage definition, you can use Mapei Ultracolour Plus 103 Moon White or 110 Manhattan (pale grey) to highlight the moulding profile.

Does this match the Acanthus tile?

Yes. The Edwardian Highgate Dado is the exact same gloss white finish and width (22.8cm) as the Edwardian Acanthus Highgate tile, ensuring the grout lines line up perfectly vertically.

Do I really need to seal a white tile?

Because this tile is prone to crazing (fine cracks), if you don't seal it, dirt or grout colour will seep into those cracks and create permanent dark lines on your white border.

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.

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.
