Description

A Soft Pearl Base Course: Empress Pearl Base Ceramic Skirting Tile

Empress Pearl Base, a moulded soft pearl white with a warm cream cast ceramic skirting trim from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The Empress Pearl Base finishes the foot of a Beatrice wall in gentle, glossy pearl — a moulded skirting tile that lends the botanical field tiles a clean, resolved foundation. It is a trim piece, sold individually.

Glazed and decorated ceramic with a crackle-glazed surface, its 15.2 x 15.2cm moulded form carries the same quiet craquelure as the range. Pair it with the Beatrice Pearl field tiles and matching dado for a serene, tonal scheme.

  • Personalised Project Support - Our family-run team can help you calculate quantities: a moulded skirting trim, sold individually to finish the base of your scheme.

⚠ 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.
