Why Choose Hexagon Mosaic Tiles
Hexagon tiles bring a distinctive geometric pattern that works equally well in classic and contemporary spaces. Their six-sided shape creates a honeycomb effect when laid, giving floors and walls a sense of movement and texture that square or rectangular tiles simply don't offer.
Our hexagon range spans both natural stone (Carrara marble) and porcelain, so you can choose between the authentic look and character of real stone or the low-maintenance practicality of porcelain — both available in a range of sizes from small-format mosaics to larger single hexagons.
Popular Hexagon Sizes and Finishes
Small-format mosaics (48mm–100mm) — the classic honeycomb look, ideal for bathroom floors, shower niches, and splashbacks where a tighter, more detailed pattern suits the space.
Long hexagon (150x50mm) — an elongated take on the shape that reads more like a linear pattern from a distance, popular as a feature wall or splashback.
Carrara marble hexagons — natural stone with the classic white-and-grey veining Carrara is known for. Being a natural stone product, colour variation between pieces is normal and expected, and sealing is required after installation.
Porcelain hexagons — a Carrara-look alternative that doesn't require sealing, making it a lower-maintenance option for high-moisture areas like showers.
Where to Use Hexagon Tiles
Hexagon tiles are most commonly used in bathrooms (floors, shower floors and niches), kitchen splashbacks, and as feature walls in living or entry spaces. Smaller formats work well in compact areas like shower floors, where the tighter pattern also helps with slip resistance underfoot; larger formats make more of a statement across bigger wall or floor areas.
FAQ Block
What's the difference between marble and porcelain hexagon tiles?
Marble hexagon tiles are a natural stone product, so each piece has unique veining and colour variation, but they require sealing after installation and periodic resealing over time. Porcelain hexagon tiles replicate the marble look without the maintenance — no sealing required, and more consistent colour from piece to piece.
Do hexagon mosaic tiles need sealing?
Natural stone (Carrara marble) hexagon tiles need sealing after installation to protect against staining, and resealing periodically after that. Porcelain hexagon tiles don't require sealing.
What size hexagon tile should I use for a small bathroom? Smaller formats (48mm–100mm) tend to suit compact spaces like shower floors and niches better, since the tighter pattern and additional grout lines help with slip resistance and don't overwhelm a small area. Larger formats work better across bigger open spaces.
Can hexagon tiles be used outdoors? Check the slip rating of the specific tile before using it outdoors or in wet areas — porcelain options are generally more suited to this than polished natural stone.
Do you offer samples of hexagon tiles?
Yes — order a sample before committing to a full order, particularly for the natural stone options where colour and veining vary piece to piece.
