Product story

A Sculpted Grey Marble Dado: Hampton Bays Dado

A honed grey marble dado moulding from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

This solid marble dado rail adds a crafted, architectural border to a Hampton Bays wall, framing panels of field tile or capping a half-height run. Machined from natural grey marble and honed to match, it brings quiet definition to a scheme.

As a genuine stone moulding it carries the same soft veining as the field tiles; specified for interior walls once sealed.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a white flexible stone adhesive to avoid shadowing through the marble, and choose a soft, tonal grout. Seal the tiles before grouting to protect the honed surface.
  • Layout Options: Dry-lay your border run first and blend pieces for consistent tone; mitre external corners for a neat finish.
  • Sealing & Cleaning: Hampton Bays is natural marble and must be sealed. Apply a quality penetrating stone sealer before grouting and again once laid, then reseal periodically. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner – never vinegar, bleach or acidic products.
Samples

Tone, glaze and veining all read differently in your own light. Cut samples are free — sample postage is £4.99 (£8 for Original Style) and we refund it on tile orders over £50 with the code we email you. Our family-run team is happy to check quantities and finishes with you on 01344 620211.

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

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Fired Earth ranges are returned through Fired Earth’s own returns process, and special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hampton Bays real marble?

Yes. Hampton Bays is genuine natural marble, honed to a soft matte finish. As a natural stone, the grey tone and veining vary from tile to tile, giving every installation its own character.

Does Hampton Bays marble need sealing?

Yes. Natural marble is porous, so seal the tiles with a quality penetrating stone sealer before grouting and again once laid, then reseal periodically. Clean only with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and avoid vinegar, bleach or acidic products.

Where can I use Hampton Bays tiles?

They suit interior walls and floors, including bathrooms and wet rooms, once correctly sealed. As a natural marble they are not rated for exterior use or frost.

Can I order a sample?

Yes. As an official Fired Earth stockist we offer samples – free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge.
