Weathered Coastal Character: Istria Barban Patterned Tile A soft grey-and-white distressed quatrefoil porcelain in a 20 x 20cm square — Istria Barban from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist. Inspired by the sun-bleached villages of Croatia's Istrian coast, Barban prints a gently faded quatrefoil in tonal greys over a stone-look ground. The lightly distressed finish gives every tile a lived-in, characterful feel, so a floor or wall reads as softly weathered rather than uniform — beautiful in a bathroom, a boot-room or a country kitchen. Made from robust matt porcelain, it needs no sealing, resists frost and carries an R10 slip rating — suitable for internal and external walls and floors, and wet rooms. The Hyperion Family Promise Design Continuity - Istria offers three coastal-inspired designs — Barban, Pula and Ravni — combine them for a softly weathered, tonal patchwork. Premium Durability - Frostproof porcelain with an R10 slip rating, suitable for internal and external walls and floors and wet rooms. No sealing required. Order a Sample - See the pattern in your own light first. As an official Fired Earth stockist, we offer a full tile sample to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge. Dedicated Delivery - We arrange safe, secure delivery for your renovation, with free UK delivery on orders over £1,000. Personalised Project Support - Our family-run team can help you calculate quantities: sold per tile, with 25 tiles covering 1m² (each tile 0.04m²). ⚠ Installation & Care Tips Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a high-quality flexible adhesive. A soft grey grout blends with the weathered tone; use a frost-resistant, exterior-grade system in wet and external areas. Layout Options: Lay with a fine joint and shuffle tiles from several boxes to make the most of the distressed, tile-to-tile variation. Cleaning: Sweep and mop with warm water and a mild cleaner. Matt porcelain needs no sealing and shrugs off splashes, steam and frost. Visit Our Ascot Showroom Usually in stock. Remember: Delivery is FREE on orders over £1,000!
