Pour by Henry Holland Studio

The Pour tile collection is a creative collaboration between Henry Holland Studio and Bert & May, bringing together fashion-inspired flair and artisanal tile-making. These tiles merge Henry Holland’s playful design sensibility with Bert & May’s handcrafted tile expertise. Available in both hand-poured encaustic and printed glazed formats, the POUR range offers a seamless fusion of artistry and practicality. Whether you're seeking statement backsplash pieces or distinctive feature walls, these tiles stand out for their bold colourways, organic textures, and crafted depth. Their design process combines traditional pouring techniques with contemporary glazing, creating surfaces that feel like custom ceramic artworks for interiors.

The hand-poured encaustic tiles in the Pour collection are made using the classic method of layering coloured pigments and pouring them into moulds, producing unique, fluid patterns. They're crafted from a mix of cement and marble fragment, while the glazed versions use a moulding process with digital print to replicate a handmade appearance. This printed glazed tile is pressed and then enamelled using digital-ink techniques to capture the movement and tone of poured ceramics. The result is an exciting combination of organic texture and precision print, allowing for cohesive installations with a crafted yet polished finish.

Pour is available in a palette of rich, contemporary tones: Mineral Blue, Deep Terracotta (Rust), Rosemary (a natural sage), and Purple Brown. Each shade has its own character: Mineral Blue offers moody indigo depth, Deep Terracotta brings earthy warmth, Rosemary introduces a soft green calm, and Purple Brown adds a sophisticated violet tone. The hand-poured encaustic versions highlight fluid colour blending, while the glazed tiles showcase a more uniform, printed aesthetic. These finish options offer flexibility: encaustic tiles deliver tactile, one-of-a-kind surfaces, whereas glazed ones provide gloss and consistency—either way, the result is a striking, statement-making design element.

Pour tiles are designed to be used in feature-rich settings such as kitchen splashbacks, bathroom walls, shower enclosures, and decorative niches. Their waterproof qualities make them practical for interior wet zones, and their bold finishes transform surfaces into eye-catching design statements. The encaustic versions offer texture and depth, making them ideal for accent walls, fireplace surrounds, or bar fronts. The glazed variants are suited to splash zones where easy cleaning is essential, such as behind hobs or vanities. With shapes ranging from square to herringbone and hexagon, they also offer layout versatility—something that designers at Hyperion Tiles often leverage to customise schemes with bold geometrical impact.

The glazed Pour tiles are non-porous and require no sealing, making them easy to care for with just a wipe-down using a mild cleaner. Hand-poured encaustic tiles are slightly more porous and benefit from a quality sealant applied before and after grouting, which enhances their appearance and protects the pigment. General maintenance is straightforward—use warm water and pH-neutral cleaning products, and avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the glaze and colour depth. With proper installation and care, both tile types will withstand everyday use while maintaining their vibrant colour and texture.

Yes, Pour tiles are suitable for commercial interiors and work well with underfloor heating. The encaustic style is durable and robust enough for light commercial environments, and the glazed options are easy to clean and maintain—making them ideal for retail, hospitality, or office washrooms. Both types are compatible with underfloor heating when laid using recommended flexible adhesives and grouts. It's important to acclimatise encaustic tiles and follow temperature protocols to prevent thermal shock. Whether installed in a family bathroom or a boutique café, Pour tiles deliver designer visual impact paired with practical, long-lasting performance.
