Product story

Industrial Depth: Urban Charcoal

Create a floor of dramatic distinction with Urban Charcoal—a 20x20cm porcelain tile that combines the moody intensity of slate with the resilience of modern ceramic.

Inspired by the gritty textures and raw creativity of Spanish street artists, the Urban collection brings a cool, industrial edge to any space. The Charcoal colourway offers a deep, saturated dark grey that grounds a room, providing a stunning contrast to white walls or metallic fixtures. Crafted from super-hard wearing porcelain, it features a specialized anti-slip finish. This makes it an incredibly practical choice for high-traffic zones like hallways, wet room floors, and even seamless outdoor garden terraces.

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 this tile suitable for outdoors?

Yes! Urban Charcoal is a frost-proof porcelain tile with an anti-slip finish, making it perfect for garden patios, paths, or porches. It allows you to create a seamless transition from your kitchen to your outdoor space.

Is it safe for wet rooms?

Absolutely. The tile has a specialised anti-slip finish designed for safety, making it ideal for wet room floors, walk-in showers, and even swimming pool surrounds.

Does it look like slate?

It has a similar matt, dark grey aesthetic to slate, but with a smoother, more uniform finish. The main advantage over real slate is that it is non-porous, doesn't flake, and doesn't require sealing.

Can I use it with underfloor heating?

Yes. Porcelain is a dense material that conducts heat efficiently. It is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems, ensuring your dark floor feels warm and comfortable underfoot.

Installation & Care Tips

⚠️ Installation & care

  • No Sealing Required: Urban Charcoal is made of high-quality glazed porcelain, which is non-porous. It requires zero sealing, making it a low-maintenance alternative to slate.
  • Mix & Match: This plain tile is designed to work with the patterned tiles in the Urban range (like Urban Aryz or Urban Velasco). Use it as a border or a solid zone to frame patterned areas.
  • Grout Colour: We recommend a dark grout like Mapei 113 Cement Grey or 114 Anthracite to blend with the tile for a seamless, monolithic look.
