Architectural Geometric Style: Hex XL Fosco Matte Mosaic

Introduce a bold, smoky aesthetic to your interior or exterior project with the Hex XL Fosco Matte Mosaic by Waxman Ceramics.

A premier entry in our Geometric Collection, the Hex XL range features a distinctive 51mm large-format hexagon that offers a more architectural look than traditional small mosaics. The Fosco colourway provides a deep, saturated smoky grey palette that serves as a prestigious, neutral foundation. Finished with a Matt glaze, these glass tiles provide a non-reflective, velvet-like surface that highlights the clean geometric lines of the hexagonal grid.

Crafted from high-performance Glass with a 5mm thickness, these mosaics are meticulously engineered for internal floors and walls, as well as specialised applications. Their exceptional R11 slip resistance and PTV ratings make them an industry-leading choice for swimming pool tanks and wet rooms, providing uncompromising safety and a high-end, contemporary finish.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Grout: We recommend a high-quality flexible waterproof or epoxy grout. A Charcoal or Dark Grey grout will create a seamless look, while a light grey can accentuate the hex shape.
  • Adhesive: Use a white flexible adhesive to ensure the smoky glass tone is preserved and to provide a robust bond with the Poly-Dot backing.
  • Cleaning: Maintain the matt surface with pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the protective matt glaze over time.
  • Layout: To showcase the large 51mm hexagon format, ensure your layout is centred on your feature wall or floor area to provide balanced cuts at the perimeter.
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. 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

Can the Hex XL Fosco be used for outdoor features?

Yes. This glass mosaic is fully frostproof and rated for external wall use. Its durable glass construction and robust Poly-Dot backing mean it can withstand temperature fluctuations and environmental exposure, making it an excellent choice for outdoor water features, accent walls, or exterior cladding.

What makes the Poly-Dot backing better than traditional mesh?

The Poly-Dot (Polyurethane) mounting system is superior to mesh because it leaves approximately 90% of the tile's back surface exposed to the adhesive. This creates a much stronger, direct bond between the glass and the substrate. This is a critical safety and durability feature for installations in swimming pools and high-moisture floor areas.

Is this mosaic suitable for wet room floors?

Absolutely. The Hex XL Fosco features an R11 slip rating and a PTV Barefoot rating of +40, which exceeds the standard requirements for wet area safety. The large 51mm hexagonal format provides a modern aesthetic while the inherent grout lines of a mosaic offer additional grip, ensuring a secure surface in walk-in showers and spa environments.
