Ochre Omega Moulding Ceramic Wall Tile 152x12mm

Yes. Artworks is specified for both wet and dry wall areas, so Ochre 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 used throughout the wet zone. A saturated colour like this one is particularly effective in a shower, where the glaze catches the light and the steam keeps it looking freshly wet.

No. Artworks Ochre is a glazed ceramic wall tile and is not rated for floors. The glaze would scratch and wear through in traffic, and it offers no meaningful slip resistance underfoot. Use it on the walls and choose a porcelain, natural stone or encaustic-effect tile for the floor beneath — our team can help you find a floor that sits well with the ochre.

Ochre is a strong, saturated colour and shade can shift a little between production batches, which is far more visible in a deep tone than in a white. Order the whole job in one go so it comes from a single batch, keep a few spare tiles from that batch for future repairs, and if you are matching to tiles already on the wall, ask us for a sample to hold against them before you commit.

Fix with a white flexible tile adhesive and allow a 2-3mm joint. For grout, a warm sand, buff or soft mid-grey sits comfortably against the ochre. Avoid a brilliant white grout — against a colour this saturated it reads as a hard white grid drawn over the wall, and it fights the warmth of the glaze rather than supporting it.

Ochre is usually held in stock across the range. We deliver throughout the UK, and delivery is free on orders over £1,000; below that it is calculated at checkout. If your project is on a deadline, or you need a large quantity of one piece, call the showroom on 01344 620211 and we will confirm availability before you order.

Ochre is the boldest colour in the range. Where Brilliant White is cool and optical, Vintage White is the warmest and most aged, County White is a soft creamy Victorian white and Ivory is a neutral cream with a grey undertone, Ochre leaves the white family entirely for a deep golden yellow. Palladian Beige is the quiet warm stone tone; Ochre is what happens when that warmth is turned all the way up. It is a colour to commit to rather than a backdrop.

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.

Seventeen pieces: the 152 x 152mm field tile, the 152 x 76mm half tile, bevelled metro tiles in 150 x 75mm and 75 x 75mm, a skirting tile, a plain cornice, an external corner trim, and ten mouldings — Victoria, Albert, Astragal, Dentil, Egg & Dart, Hogarth, Omega, Rope, Scroll and Sigma. Ochre does not include handed corner pieces, an internal corner trim, wrapping pieces, large bricks, rectangles or rounded edges; where those are needed the detail is mitred or butted on site.
