Product story

The Romance of a Worn Floor: Abbey Porcelain Square Ivory 25 x 25cm

A soft ivory porcelain square with meticulously replicated tumbled edges, drawn from the flagstones of Lacock Abbey — from Hyperion Tiles, your official Ca' Pietra stockist.

Part of the National Trust Tile Collection, Abbey captures the quiet romance of a floor that has been walked for centuries. The surface is subtly textured and the edges are tumbled rather than cut square, so a laid floor has the gentle irregularity of aged stone instead of the hard grid of modern tiling.

The practicality is thoroughly current, though: vitrified porcelain, frost resistant, R10 underfoot, and rated for domestic exterior floors as well as interior walls and floors. Pair Ivory with the Dove colourway for a chequerboard, or use it alone for a calmer, lighter scheme.

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

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What is the National Trust Tile Collection?

A range Ca' Pietra developed with the National Trust, drawing on floors and surfaces found in Trust properties. Abbey takes its cue from the worn flagstones of Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire.

How many Abbey tiles are in a box?

The 25 x 25cm squares are supplied 20 to a box, covering 1.25m². The Parquet Blend batons are supplied 38 to a box, covering 0.55m². Add around 10% for cuts — nearer 15% for a parquet or herringbone layout.

Can Abbey Porcelain be used outside?

Yes, within reason. It is frost resistant and rated for domestic exterior floors, so it suits a patio, garden path or porch at domestic loadings. It is not specified for commercial or heavily trafficked external areas.

Why are the edges not perfectly straight?

The edges are deliberately tumbled to replicate the softened arrises of genuine aged stone. Allow a slightly wider 3mm joint so the rounded edges sit comfortably together — a tight rectified joint would fight the effect.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a white flexible adhesive with a soft, warm grout. Because the edges are tumbled, allow a slightly wider 3mm joint so the rounded arrises sit comfortably against one another.
  • Layout: Shuffle from several boxes as you lay so the tonal variation distributes naturally. For a chequerboard with Dove, set out from the centre of the room so the pattern stays symmetrical.
  • Cleaning: No sealing required. Sweep and mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner; the vitrified body will not stain or absorb frost.
