Jade Breeze External Corner Trim Ceramic Wall Tile 152x30mm

Yes. Artworks is specified for both wet and dry wall areas, so Jade Breeze is at home in a shower enclosure, a wet room or around a bath. The background must be sound, dry and properly tanked, with a flexible waterproof adhesive and grout throughout the wet zone. Green does something worth knowing in a shower: wet, the glaze deepens and the blue in it comes forward, so a run of tiling looks a shade cooler and richer under running water than it does dry.

No. Artworks is a wall tile range only. The glaze is not rated for foot traffic and would scratch and dull quickly underfoot, and a gloss surface of this kind is slippery when wet. A soft green wall wants a floor with some pattern and some warmth beneath it — a black and white geometric, an encaustic-look design, or a terracotta quarry tile all work. Call 01344 620211 and we will suggest something to sit under it.

There is slight variation between production batches, and green shows it more than most colours because the eye reads a small shift towards blue or towards olive very readily. Order the whole quantity for a room at once, including your wastage allowance, and mix tiles from several boxes as you set out rather than working box by box. If you need to add to existing tiling later, send us a photograph and we will tell you honestly how close a current batch is likely to be.

Use a white flexible adhesive — a grey adhesive can shadow through the glaze and cool the colour further. For grout, a soft stone, a pale grey-green or a warm off-white all work well. Two to avoid. A brilliant white grout is the main risk with any green: the hard white grid is exactly what makes Victorian institutional tiling read as institutional, and it will push a soft green towards clinical. At the other extreme, a warm beige or putty grout pulls the green towards olive and muddies it. Stay close in tone and slightly cool.

Jade Breeze is usually held in stock across the range — field and half tiles, the full set of mouldings, and the relief-moulded decorative tiles. We will confirm availability and a delivery date for your exact quantity when you order, and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000. If a piece is temporarily out we will tell you the lead time before you commit rather than after. Call 01344 620211 or visit us at 67 High Street, Ascot.

Artworks runs from whites and creams through soft neutrals to the strong colours. Jade Breeze is the soft green: a pale sage with a cool blue-green cast, lighter and fresher than a Victorian bottle green. It is also the most versatile period colour in the range, because it belongs equally to a Victorian scullery and to a 1930s bathroom — the same glaze reads Edwardian with brass and Art Deco with chrome, depending entirely on what you put with it. Order a sample and hold it against your own light before deciding.

Yes. Cut samples are free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or we can post one to you for the cost of postage. Seeing the glaze in your own light is the surest way to judge how it will sit against your paint, stone and metalwork.

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.

Eighteen products. Fifteen plain pieces: the 152 x 152mm field tile, the 152 x 76mm half tile, a skirting tile, a plain cornice, an external corner trim, and ten mouldings — Victoria, Egg & Dart, Dentil, Hogarth, Albert, Rope, Astragal, Scroll, Sigma and Omega. Then three relief-moulded decorative tiles: Berkeley, Grosvenor and St. James. Jade Breeze does not include a large brick tile, bevelled metro tiles, handed corner pieces, an internal corner trim, wrapping pieces or rounded-edge tiles. Everything is sold by the box.

The External Corner Trim is a narrow 152 x 30mm length that wraps an outside angle — a window reveal, a chimney breast, the end of a half-height panel — giving a finished glazed edge instead of an exposed tile edge. There is no internal corner trim in the range: inward angles are simply butted and grouted, which is the normal way to finish them. It comes 4 pieces to a box covering 0.6 linear metres.
