Description

The Classic Brick, Warmed: Artworks Vintage White Half Tile 152 x 76mm

The 152 x 76mm brick that built a century of sculleries and bathrooms, in a soft creamy white — the Artworks Vintage White Half Tile, from Hyperion Tiles, your official Original Style stockist.

Half the height of the traditional Artworks square, this slim brick is the format that gives a wall its rhythm. Laid in a running bond it is quietly classical; stacked vertically it becomes crisp and contemporary; run in herringbone it turns a splashback into the focal point of a kitchen.

What sets Vintage White apart is the temperature of the glaze. Warm and faintly creamy rather than optically bright, it looks like a tile that has been on the wall for decades — which is exactly why it sits so comfortably in a period house, behind a Belfast sink or above a roll-top bath.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a white flexible tile adhesive to keep the glaze clean, with a warm off-white or putty grout — a bright white grout will make the tile look grubby by comparison.
  • Layout: Allow a 2-3mm joint. For a running bond, set out from a centre line so the cuts at each end match; for herringbone, order nearer 15% extra to allow for the additional cutting.
  • Cleaning: The gloss glaze needs no sealing. Clean with warm water and a mild detergent, and keep acidic limescale removers and abrasive pads away from the surface.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How many boxes of Vintage White Half Tiles will I need?

Each box contains 44 tiles and covers 0.50m², at 86 tiles per square metre. Work out your wall area in square metres, add about 10% for cutting, then divide by 0.50 to give the number of boxes.

Is the Half Tile the same as a metro tile?

It is the classic 152 x 76mm brick format that metro tiling is built on, but with a straight rather than bevelled edge. That gives a flatter, more understated wall. If you would prefer the shadow line of a bevel, our Vintage White Metro Bevelled tile offers the same glaze in a bevelled body.

How does Vintage White differ from Brilliant White?

Vintage White is the warmer of the two. Where Brilliant White is a clean, cool, almost optical white, Vintage White carries a soft creamy undertone and a gentler glaze, so it reads as older and quieter — far more sympathetic to period joinery, aged brass and lime-washed plaster. In a north-facing room it warms rather than chills. Order a sample of each if you are torn; they look quite different on a wall.

Can Artworks Brilliant White tiles be used in a shower or wet room?

Yes. Artworks is specified for both wet and dry wall areas, so it is at home in a shower enclosure, a wet room or around a bath. The background must be sound, dry and properly tanked, and a flexible waterproof adhesive and grout should be used throughout the wet zone.

Are Artworks tiles suitable for floors?

No. Artworks is a glazed ceramic wall tile, specified for internal walls only. If you would like a floor to sit alongside it, our team can suggest a porcelain or encaustic-effect tile that complements Vintage White and carries the wear rating a floor requires.

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.
