Product story

Honed Limestone, Without the Upkeep: Sloane Porcelain Honed White

A pale, softly sheened porcelain that replicates genuinely honed limestone — fossil markings, subtle veining and all — now stocked in two formats, from Hyperion Tiles, your official Ca' Pietra stockist.

Sloane is mechanically honed in exactly the way its stone counterpart would be, which is why it reads as limestone rather than as a photograph of it. The surface carries a soft, natural sheen and the quiet fossil detail you would expect from a good quarried block.

What it does not carry is the maintenance. As a rectified, fully vitrified porcelain it needs no sealing, resists frost, and shrugs off the traffic of a busy hallway or kitchen — the look of a period stone floor with none of the anxiety.

Choose the format to suit the room. The 90 x 90cm gives far fewer grout lines and reads as a calm, expansive floor, which flatters large kitchens, garden rooms and long hallways. The 60 x 60cm is lighter to handle and cuts more economically in smaller or awkward spaces. Both share the same honed surface and 9mm body, so they can even be used together across adjoining rooms.

Use the sample option in the buying panel above to add it to your basket. Review your samples and the combined postage at checkout before paying.

Cut tile samples usually arrive within 2–3 working days.

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

To request a return, contact Hyperion within 14 days of delivery. For eligible online consumer cancellations, you have a further 14 days after telling us to send the goods back. Contact us for the correct return address; your statutory cancellation does not depend on our authorisation.

Additional supplier returns have their own eligibility rules, charges and exclusions. These do not override statutory cancellation rights or rights for faulty goods. See our refund policy and supplier return guidance before arranging a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sloane real limestone?

No — it is porcelain, but mechanically honed in the same way stone is, which is why it carries a genuine soft sheen and fossil detail rather than a printed finish. You get the look of honed limestone with none of the sealing or staining.

Should I choose the 60 x 60cm or the 90 x 90cm?

Both are stocked and carry exactly the same honed surface and 9mm body, so it is purely a question of scale. The 90 x 90cm gives far fewer grout lines and reads as a calmer, more expansive floor, which flatters large open rooms, kitchens and long hallways. The 60 x 60cm is lighter to handle, cuts more economically in smaller or awkward rooms, and is the easier of the two for one person to lay. Order a free cut sample of each if you are undecided.

How many Sloane tiles are in a box?

That depends on the format. The 60 x 60cm is supplied three tiles to a box covering 1.08m²; the 90 x 90cm is two tiles to a box covering 1.62m². Measure your area, add about 10% for cuts, then divide by the coverage of whichever format you have chosen.

Is there anything to watch when laying the 90 x 90cm format?

Large formats are less forgiving of an uneven substrate, so the floor should be flat and properly prepared before tiling begins — any dip shows up as lippage across a 90cm edge. Use a good quality flexible porcelain adhesive, back-butter each tile for full solid-bed coverage with no voids, and consider a levelling clip system to keep the surface true. Each tile weighs around 15kg, so it is a two-person lift. Our team is happy to talk it through before you order.

What is the difference between the Honed and Textured finishes?

Honed is the smooth, softly sheened interior finish shown here. The Textured version has a rougher R11 surface intended for wet areas and outdoor use — useful if you want the same stone look to run from a kitchen out onto a terrace.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a white flexible porcelain adhesive with a pale grout — on a light honed surface, a dark grout will read as a grid and undo the stone effect.
  • Layout: Rectified edges allow a tight 2mm joint. Shuffle tiles from several boxes so the veining and fossil detail distribute naturally. Allow around 10% for cuts.
  • Large format: The 90 x 90cm is less forgiving of an uneven substrate, so make sure the floor is flat before you begin. Back-butter for full solid-bed coverage and use levelling clips to avoid lippage. At roughly 15kg a tile, it is a two-person lift.
  • Cleaning: No sealing required. Warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner; avoid acidic or abrasive products, which will dull the honed sheen over time.
