Product story

The Original Brick Format: Artworks Ivory Half Tile 152 x 76mm

A soft cream 152 x 76mm gloss ceramic brick with a cool grey undertone — the straight-edged forerunner of the metro tile — the Artworks Ivory Half Tile, from Hyperion Tiles, your official Original Style stockist.

Half the square, twice the rhythm. Laid in a running bond, the 152 x 76mm brick gives a wall movement and scale that a square cannot, which is why it has been the default for Victorian kitchens, sculleries and bathrooms for well over a century.

The edge is straight rather than bevelled, so the wall reads as a flat, quiet plane with fine shadow lines only at the joints. In Ivory the effect is understated to the point of serenity. Stack bond it for a contemporary grid, run it in a herringbone for something more decorative, or take it vertically to lift a low ceiling.

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.

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

How many boxes of Ivory Half Tiles will I need?

Each box contains 44 tiles and covers 0.51m², at 86 tiles per square metre. Work out your wall area in square metres, add about 10% for cutting, then divide by 0.51 to give the number of boxes.

Is the Half Tile the same as a metro tile?

It is the classic 152 x 76mm brick format that metro tiling is built on, but with a straight rather than bevelled edge, which gives a flatter and more understated wall. Ivory is not produced as a bevelled metro tile; if the shadow line of a bevel is what you are after, the Artworks Metro Bevelled tile is made in Brilliant White and County White.

How does Ivory compare with the other Artworks whites?

Ivory is the most neutral of them — a soft cream carrying a cool grey undertone rather than a yellow one. Brilliant White is a clean, almost optical white; County White is the classic warm Victorian cream; Vintage White is the warmest and most obviously aged. Ivory is the one to choose alongside blues, greens and greys, where a warmer cream can start to look yellow. They look markedly different on a wall, so order samples of any you are torn between.

Which Artworks pieces are available in Ivory?

Ivory is a fifteen-piece range: the 152 x 152mm field tile and 152 x 76mm half tile, a skirting tile, a plain cornice, an external corner trim, and the Victoria, Albert, Hogarth, Dentil, Egg & Dart, Rope, Scroll, Astragal, Sigma and Omega mouldings. The metro bevelled, large brick, rectangle, rounded-edge and wrapping pieces offered in some other Artworks colours are not made in Ivory. If your scheme needs one of those, call us and we will help you work round it.

Can Artworks Brilliant White tiles be used in a shower or wet room?

Yes. Artworks is specified for both wet and dry wall areas, so it is at home in a shower enclosure, a wet room or around a bath. The background must be sound, dry and properly tanked, and a flexible waterproof adhesive and grout should be used throughout the wet zone.

Will Ivory match across the different Artworks shapes and mouldings?

Every Artworks piece is finished in the same Ivory glaze, so field tiles, half tiles, mouldings and the skirting are designed to be used together. As with any glazed ceramic there can be slight variation between production batches, so we recommend ordering everything for a scheme at the same time.

How much extra should I order for cuts and wastage?

As a guide, add around 10% to your measured area for cuts and breakages, and nearer 15% for a herringbone, diagonal or brick-bond layout. It is also worth keeping a few spare tiles from the same batch in case a repair is ever needed.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a white flexible tile adhesive — a grey adhesive can shadow through the glaze — and grout in a soft off-white or pale stone tone, which suits Ivory's cooler cream better than either a stark brilliant white or a warm putty.
  • Layout: Allow a 2-3mm joint and set out from the centre of the wall so cuts fall evenly at each end. Order around 10% extra for cuts and breakages.
  • Cleaning: The gloss glaze is non-porous and needs no sealing. Wipe with warm water and a mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads and acidic limescale removers, which will dull the surface over time.
