Product story

A Meander In Black, Drawn On Sand

The Greek key border sets its black meander on buff rather than on white, and if the room is already warm the sandy ground is the reading that will not fight it, sold tile by tile from Hyperion Tiles, your official Original Style stockist.

Buff is the sand tone Victorian floors were frequently built on, and putting the meander over it lowers the contrast without losing the drawing. Against a red or terracotta field the border then belongs to the floor rather than being applied to it, which is not true of the same key drawn on white.

The border is vitrified ceramic 9mm deep and matt, with the black and the buff both belonging to the clay, and it is bought a piece at a time so a run can be counted rather than estimated. Exterior floors are within its rating, so a key can turn round a porch and carry on along the path outside.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

To request a return, contact Hyperion within 14 days of delivery. For eligible online consumer cancellations, you have a further 14 days after telling us to send the goods back. Contact us for the correct return address; your statutory cancellation does not depend on our authorisation.

Additional supplier returns have their own eligibility rules, charges and exclusions. These do not override statutory cancellation rights or rights for faulty goods. See our refund policy and supplier return guidance before arranging a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tile be used outside?

Yes. The Original Style Victorian Floor Tiles are vitrified, meaning they are frost-resistant and suitable for exterior use on garden paths, porches, and patios.

Do I need to seal these tiles?

Yes. Because they are unglazed/matt, they should be sealed to protect against staining. We recommend sealing them once before grouting (to stop the grout sticking to the face) and again after the installation is finished.

How many tiles do I need for a border?

The tiles are 151mm long, so you will need approximately 6.6 tiles for every linear metre of border you are creating. We always recommend ordering 10% extra for cuts and wastage.

What grout should I use?

We recommend a light grey or limestone-coloured grout. Do not use black or deeply coloured grouts, as the pigments can bleed into the porous surface of the buff clay and cause irreversible staining.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Setting Out: Plan the corners before the straight runs, since a meander that breaks at a turn is the first thing anyone notices about a floor.
  • Adhesive & Grout: A flexible cement-based adhesive and a tight, even joint; a wide grout line eats into the key and softens the drawing.
  • Sealing & Cleaning: Unglazed buff marks readily, so seal the run once laid and dry, and wash with a neutral product rather than anything acidic.
