Product story

Italian Marble, Reimagined: South Beach Townsend 60 x 30cm

A hard-wearing matt porcelain that captures the soft cream-white beauty of classic Italian marble — South Beach Townsend from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Townsend recreates the pale, gently veined marble floors of the great Italian villas, its cream and off-white tones threaded with the subtlest grey movement. In a versatile 60 x 30cm format it lays beautifully on both walls and floors, bringing a calm, light-filled elegance to bathrooms, kitchens and open-plan living spaces.

Made in Italy from glazed porcelain, it delivers the look of natural marble with none of the upkeep — frostproof, needs no sealing and shrugs off everyday wear, splashes and underfloor heating.

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. Fired Earth ranges are returned through Fired Earth’s own returns process, and 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

Is South Beach Townsend suitable for floors as well as walls?

Yes. It is a hard-wearing matt porcelain rated for internal and external walls and floors, wet rooms and underfloor heating.

Does South Beach Townsend need sealing?

No. As a glazed porcelain it is non-porous and never needs sealing, unlike natural marble.

Is it real marble?

No. It is Italian glazed porcelain that replicates the look of pale veined marble, giving you the aesthetic with far greater durability and no maintenance.

Can I order a sample?

Yes. Free cut samples are available to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a high-quality flexible adhesive and choose a soft, tonal grout to keep the marble effect seamless. Use an exterior-grade, frost-resistant system in wet and external areas.
  • Layout Options: Lay with a 2–3mm joint, shuffling tiles from several boxes to make the most of the natural veining and shade variation.
  • Cleaning: Sweep and mop with warm water and a mild cleaner. Glazed porcelain needs no sealing and resists stains, steam and frost.
