Product story

The Slim Border: Winckelmans Unglazed Black 2.5 x 15cm

A slender black baton made to frame, edge and define traditional geometric floors, from Hyperion Tiles.

This narrow 2.5 x 15cm rectangle is the classic border piece, the tile that draws a crisp black line around a patterned centre or separates one field from the next. In authentic Victorian and encaustic schemes it is the detail that gives a floor its finished, tailored edge.

Formed from unglazed porcelain, the colour is solid through the body and the natural matt surface holds its depth for the life of the floor. It is frostproof and approved for walls and floors both indoors and out, so borders and banding can run seamlessly from hallway to threshold.

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.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How many Winckelmans Black 2.5 x 15cm tiles do I need per square metre?

This slim 2.5 x 15cm format is sold by the pack. Each pack contains 40 tiles and covers 0.15m² (267 tiles per square metre). It is often used as a border or brick-style detail, so calculate from your layout, divide your area by 0.15 for full coverage, and add around 10% extra for cuts and wastage.

Can Winckelmans Black 2.5 x 15cm Porcelain Tile be used on floors?

Yes. It is a genuine unglazed through-body porcelain, exceptionally hard-wearing and suitable for internal and external floors, including heavy domestic and commercial traffic. It is fully frostproof for outdoor use and compatible with underfloor heating. As the colour runs right through the tile, it wears beautifully for decades.

How do I clean and maintain Winckelmans Black unglazed porcelain tiles?

As a traditional unglazed porcelain, Winckelmans benefits from an initial sealing or oil treatment once laid and grouted, which protects the natural matt surface and makes everyday care easier. Thereafter, simply sweep and clean with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh or acidic products.

Can I order a sample of Winckelmans Black 2.5 x 15cm Porcelain Tile?

Yes. We offer free samples so you can see the authentic unglazed black in your own light. Collect one free from our Ascot showroom at 67 High Street, or we can post it for a small postage charge. Call us on 01344 620211 to arrange yours.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: fix to a flat, cured substrate with a suitable adhesive; keep joints consistent so the border line stays true.
  • Layout Options: use as banding and borders around chequerboard or geometric Victorian patterns, or as a slim brick-set field.
  • Cleaning: sweep and wash with a pH-neutral cleaner; seal the unglazed surface for easy maintenance.
