Storm-Veined Marble Drama: Opaline Shadow

Make an unforgettable statement with Opaline Shadow Polished, a large-format porcelain marble-effect tile in a 60 x 120cm format from Hyperion Tiles.

Smoky charcoal and dove-grey veins sweep across a shifting ground of blush and mineral tones, mirrored to a glass-like polish. Rated V3 for moderate variation, each tile reveals its own passage of veining, building walls and floors with the theatre of rare natural marble.

This glazed porcelain tile is polished, rectified and frost-proof, suitable for internal walls and floors as well as external walls. Use it to create seamless, gallery-worthy bathrooms, kitchens and open-plan living spaces.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a flexible adhesive suitable for large-format porcelain and back-butter each tile; a close-matched grey grout keeps veining continuous.
  • Layout Options: Dry-lay tiles first to choreograph the vein flow; book-matching adjacent tiles creates a spectacular feature wall.
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a pH-neutral cleaner and soft cloth. Avoid abrasive powders that could mar the polished surface.

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 Opaline Shadow Polished tiles I need?

Opaline Shadow works out at roughly 1.39 tiles per square metre and is sold by the pack of 2 tiles, covering 1.44m² per pack. Measure your wall or floor area, divide by 1.44 and round up to whole packs, adding 10% for cuts and wastage. Our team can double-check quantities on 01344 620211.

Where can I use Opaline Shadow?

Opaline Shadow is a frost-proof glazed porcelain suitable for internal walls and floors, and for external walls. It brings marble-effect drama to bathrooms, kitchens, hallways and living areas, and can continue onto sheltered outdoor walls.

What is the finish of Opaline Shadow and does it need sealing?

Opaline Shadow has a polished glazed finish with V3 moderate variation, so the smoky veining differs from tile to tile. As a glazed porcelain it never needs sealing - clean with a pH-neutral detergent and a soft cloth. Note that polished surfaces can be slippery when wet, so consider mats in wet areas.

Can I order a sample of Opaline Shadow Polished?

Yes - a 15 x 15cm cut sample of Opaline Shadow is free to collect from our showroom at 67 High Street, Ascot, or can be posted to your door for a small postage charge. It is the ideal way to see the polished veining in your own light.
