Hampton by Adex

Collection Summary

Hampton by Adex is a ceramic wall tile collection defined by its aged-look crackle glaze. White, Bone, Cadet Gray, and Stellar Blue are available across flat and beveled subway-style formats, giving designers a traditional glazed surface with options for either a smooth plane or more pronounced edge definition.

Design & Aesthetic

Hampton uses a tightly controlled four-color palette, with White and Bone as warm light neutrals, Cadet Gray as a cooler neutral, and Stellar Blue adding muted color. The crackle effect supplies much of the collection’s visual character.

Flat field tile creates a quieter surface, while beveled pieces create additional shadow and definition between tiles. Tile X Design classifies Hampton as V1 variation, so strong piece-to-piece tonal variation is not a defining feature.

Material & Craftsmanship

Hampton is ceramic tile with a crackle-glazed surface. Adex describes the crackling as an intentional part of the collection’s aged appearance.

Design Applications

Hampton is specified for wall use. Adex shows the collection in both bathroom and kitchen installations, supporting its use for interior applications such as backsplashes and bathroom walls.

Specifying Hampton

Available field options include 2 × 8, 3 × 6, and 4 × 8-inch flat tile, plus 3 × 6 and 3 × 3-inch beveled pieces. Thickness varies by format from 6.5 to 7.5 mm.

The most important specification consideration is the crackle glaze. Tile X Design reports Hampton as non-resistant to chemicals, so cleaning products and maintenance procedures should be reviewed before specification. Hampton is listed as special order in the U.S. with an indicated 7–12 week lead time; current timing should be confirmed with Tile X Design.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose beveled rather than flat Hampton tile?

Beveled Hampton creates more visible edge definition and shadow between pieces. Flat field tile is better suited to installations where the crackle glaze, rather than dimensional relief, should carry the visual emphasis.

Does Hampton require special cleaning consideration?

Yes. Tile X Design reports the collection as non-resistant to chemicals. Cleaning products should be checked against current manufacturer care recommendations before use.

Can Hampton be specified for floors?

Tile X Design lists Hampton for wall applications only. Floor use should not be assumed without manufacturer approval.
