Bold & Graphic: Livingstone Nero 30x30cm

Create a classic chequerboard floor with the Livingstone Nero 30x30cm marble-effect tile from Hyperion Tiles.

Livingstone Nero brings the deep, inky drama of black marble, its pale veining threading through a rich, near-black ground. Set against its Blanco partner it delivers the timeless monochrome chequerboard; used on its own it grounds a room with real depth and confidence.

Crafted in Italy from glazed porcelain, Livingstone offers the beauty of natural stone with none of the sealing or upkeep. Rectified for crisp, narrow grout joints and rated R10 underfoot, it is frostproof and hardwearing enough for internal walls and floors as well as sheltered external walls.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a high-quality flexible adhesive and grout suitable for porcelain. A mid-grey grout softens the join between Nero and Blanco without muddying the contrast.
  • Layout Options: Alternate Nero with Livingstone Blanco for a classic chequerboard, set on the diagonal for a grander, more traditional hallway, or lay Nero alone for a dark, dramatic floor.
  • Cleaning: Sweep and clean with warm water and a mild floor cleaner. The matt glazed surface needs no sealing and resists everyday wear beautifully.
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

How do I calculate how many Livingstone Nero 30x30cm tiles I need?

Livingstone Nero is sold by the pack, with each pack containing 14 tiles and covering 1.26m² (11.11 tiles per m²). Measure your total area in square metres, add 10% for cuts and natural wastage, then divide by 1.26 and round up to find the number of packs. For a chequerboard you will need roughly half your total area in Nero and half in Blanco. Our friendly team is always happy to check your quantities on 01344 620211.

Where can I use Livingstone Nero?

Livingstone Nero is a frostproof Italian glazed porcelain suitable for internal walls and floors, as well as external walls. It is a natural fit for hallways, kitchens, bathrooms and boot rooms, and is compatible with underfloor heating. As porcelain rather than natural marble, it needs no sealing and shrugs off moisture and everyday wear.

What is the finish and slip rating of Livingstone?

Livingstone has a natural matt finish with soft marble veining, and its rectified edges allow for narrow, precise grout joints. It carries a slip rating of R10 (PTV Shod +36), giving dependable underfoot grip suitable for hallways, kitchens and bathrooms. The matt glazed surface requires no sealing.

Can I order a sample of Livingstone Nero?

Yes. We offer a free 15 x 15cm cut sample so you can see the depth of colour and matt finish in your own light before you commit. Samples are free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge.
