Timeworn Elegance: Lincoln Taupe Opus Porcelain Tile

A soft, greige aged travertine-effect porcelain laid in a timeless Opus pattern — Lincoln Taupe from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Based on the centuries-old floor of Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Taupe carries a beautifully aged, gently worn character in a versatile neutral taupe. Supplied as a modular Opus set of interlocking sizes, it lays into a warm, roomy floor with the depth and patina of reclaimed stone — without the upkeep.

Crafted in hardwearing glazed porcelain with an R10 slip rating, it is built for busy family life and larger high-traffic areas across interior walls and floors, wet rooms and underfloor heating.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a high-quality flexible floor adhesive and a grout in a soft, tonal shade. Suitable for use over underfloor heating.
  • Layout Options: Set out the modular Opus pattern following the supplied layout, shuffling tiles from several packs to blend the natural shade variation.
  • Cleaning: Sweep and damp-mop with a mild cleaner. Glazed porcelain needs no sealing and shrugs off everyday wear.
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.
