Product story

The Dentil Course, Borrowed From the Cornice

A 152 x 50mm run of evenly spaced square blocks, glazed in a confident mid green with real depth: the Artworks Pavilion Green Dentil Moulding, from Hyperion Tiles, your official Original Style stockist.

A dentil course is one of the oldest devices in classical architecture: a rank of small square blocks set at regular intervals beneath a cornice, cut to throw a steady rhythm of shadow along the top of a wall. This is that detail reduced to a single tiled course, 50mm deep and 152mm long, with the block spacing running on continuously from one piece to the next. It is ornament with a clear job to do — giving a run of tiling a defined top edge that reads as architecture rather than as decoration added afterwards.

Set it as the crowning course of a half-height dado, directly beneath a plain cornice as part of a built-up section, or along the head of a shower recess where a wall of green needs closing. The saturated glaze transforms the relief: it gathers thickly in the channels between the blocks and darkens there almost to a racing green, while the crown of every block stays bright and glossy. That is strong light and dark rather than a soft shadow, and it is why a dentil course in this colour still registers clearly from the far side of a room.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: White flexible adhesive. Then grout deeper than instinct suggests — a mid grey, or a green-grey pitched close to the depth of the tile itself. Brilliant white is the error to avoid: against a saturated green the contrast is severe, printing a hard grid over the wall and pushing the room towards a municipal swimming baths. Cream and ivory fare no better, turning yellow beside this green and simply reading as dirt. Keep grout out of the channels between the blocks and sponge the relief clean well before it sets.
  • Layout: Set the dentil course out from the centre of the wall and work outwards, so the block rhythm lands evenly at both ends rather than dying into a part piece in a corner. Fix to a struck level line rather than to the top of the tile course beneath, which may not be perfectly true.
  • Cleaning: The gloss glaze is non-porous and needs no sealing. Wipe with warm water and a mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads and acidic limescale removers, which will dull the surface over time.
Samples

Tone, glaze and veining can read differently in your own light. Cut samples are free; sample postage is £4.99 (£8 for Original Style) and is refunded on tile orders over £50 using the code emailed with your sample order. Use the sample option in the buying panel, or call our Ascot team on 01344 620211 for help comparing colour, finish and quantities.

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

Can Artworks Pavilion Green tiles be used in a shower or wet room?

Yes. Artworks is specified for both wet and dry wall areas, so Pavilion Green 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. A saturated green is at its most dramatic wet — under running water the glaze deepens towards bottle green and the wall reads several shades darker than it does dry.

Can I use Artworks Pavilion Green on the floor?

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 strong green wall wants a floor that holds its own without competing — a black and white geometric, a plain black, or a warm terracotta quarry all work well beneath it. Call 01344 620211 and we will suggest something.

Will every Pavilion Green tile be exactly the same shade?

There is slight variation between production batches. On a saturated colour this shows differently from a pale one: rather than a visible half-shade shift, you may see a subtle difference in depth between one batch and another, which reads as patchiness across a large expanse. Order the whole quantity for a room at once, including your wastage allowance, and mix tiles from several boxes as you set out. If you are adding to existing tiling, send us a photograph and we will give you an honest view.

What adhesive and grout colour should I use with Pavilion Green?

White flexible adhesive. For grout, go deeper than instinct suggests: a mid grey or a soft green-grey, closer in depth to the tile than to the joint you might choose on a pale colour. Two to avoid. Brilliant white is the classic mistake on a strong green — the contrast is severe, it draws a hard grid over the wall and pushes the whole thing towards a sports hall or a swimming baths. And a cream or ivory grout turns yellow against this green and simply looks dirty. Close in tone, cool rather than warm.

Is Pavilion Green in stock, and how quickly can it be delivered?

Pavilion Green is usually held in stock across the range, field and half tiles and the full set of mouldings alike. 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.

How does Pavilion Green compare with the other Artworks greens?

There are three, and only one of them is a strong colour. Pavilion Green is the saturated one — a confident mid green with real depth, the colour of painted outdoor joinery rather than a tint. Palm Green is a soft warm leaf green and Jade Breeze a pale cool sage; both are gentle enough to tile a whole room in, where Pavilion Green is a colour you make a decision about. If you want green as a background, choose one of the other two. If you want green to be the point of the room, this is the one. Order samples of all three and see them together.

Can I see a sample before I order?

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.

How much extra should I order for cuts and wastage?

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.

Which pieces are available in Artworks Pavilion Green?

Fifteen 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. Pavilion Green does not include a large brick tile, bevelled metro tiles, relief-moulded decorative tiles, handed corner pieces, an internal corner trim, wrapping pieces or rounded-edge tiles. Everything is sold by the box.
