Victorian Green Hogarth Moulding Ceramic Wall Tile 152x38mm

Yes. Artworks is specified for both wet and dry wall areas, so Victorian Green belongs 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. One practical note on the darkest colour in the range: limescale and soap residue show far more readily on a deep gloss glaze than on a pale one, so a squeegee and a soft cloth will keep a shower in this colour looking as it should.

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 deep green wall is best served by a floor with pattern and light in it rather than more darkness — a black and white geometric, an encaustic-look design, or a buff or terracotta quarry. Call 01344 620211 and we will suggest something that lifts it.

There is slight variation between production batches. Deep glazes are the most forgiving in this respect — a small shift reads as depth rather than as a different colour, where the same shift on a pale tile would be obvious. Even so, order the whole quantity for a room at once with your wastage allowance, and mix 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.

White flexible adhesive. For grout, go dark and close: a deep grey, a charcoal or a dark green-grey that sits near the tile's own depth. Two to avoid, and on this colour the first is the most damaging in the whole range. A brilliant white grout against a near-black green is the most extreme contrast Artworks can produce — it draws a stark bright net across the wall and the tile disappears behind its own joints. And a mid grey pleases nobody here: too light to belong, too dark to read as a deliberate contrast, it simply looks tired. Also allow more care than usual sponging off, because grout haze is far more visible on a deep gloss glaze.

Victorian Green is usually held in stock across the range — field, half, large brick and metro tiles, and the full set of mouldings. 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.

There are four, and they run from a tint to a near-black. Victorian Green is the deepest by a clear margin — the only green in the range that behaves like a dark colour rather than a coloured one. Pavilion Green is a saturated mid green, strong but still bright. Palm Green is a soft warm leaf green and Jade Breeze a pale cool sage, both gentle enough to tile a whole room in. If you want a room to feel enclosed, lamplit and considered, this is the one. If you want green as a light background, it is not. Order samples of the four and lay them out together.

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.

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.
