Description
Think of a powder room, an ensuite vanity wall or a guest bedhead wall: places meant to feel restful. Dune Kit-Kat Mosaic Tile in Lilac Matt Finish suits them with a dusty, slightly mauve lilac that stays soft under warm home lighting. It is 8mm porcelain, 115x231mm, divided by pre-cuts into fine vertical fingers so one piece reads like a small mosaic.
The Kit-Kat collection from Dune takes its cue from Japanese aesthetics. Dune singles out small spaces as a strength of this matt finger tile and describes its relief as smooth and concave. The Lilac Matt sheet lists water absorption of E ≤ 0.5%, breaking strength beyond 35 N/mm², frost and crazing passes, scratch hardness 6 and stain resistance 5.

Where to Use
- Powder room and ensuite walls
- Vanity splashbacks and bathroom feature walls
- Shower walls, which Dune lists as a use (shower floors are not)
- Bedhead feature walls and alcoves
- Sheltered outdoor walls, supported by the frost pass
- Steam shower walls, as Dune ticks high vapour condensation areas
How to Apply
- Get the wall ready: clean, dry, stable and even, with hollows over 2mm built up and moisture held under 2%.
- Use C2 adhesive: trial two Lilac pieces first, then lay a thin layer near 3mm, notch it with a number 3 trowel and place pieces before a skin forms.
- Mind the pre-cuts: keep gaps between neighbouring pieces equal to the pre-cut width so every line looks alike, 2mm minimum or 3mm on plasterboard.
- Level as you go: self levelling spacers help prevent lippage; keep offsets at or under 25%.
- Finish the grout: press grout fully into the fingers and joints, then remove haze promptly with a wet sponge or pH neutral cleaner, never abrasives.
Colour and Finish
With 6 faces, shade variation and irregular texture listed, the lilac shifts subtly piece to piece, so open several boxes and mix them on the wall. The matt glaze looks chalky rather than reflective; pale grout keeps the fingers delicate, strong grout draws the eye. Other matt colours include White, Grey, Anise Green and Sky, with a glossy group too.
Important Notes
- Per Dune, pre-cut designs like Kit-Kat may show tiny pores in their grooves, which disappear under grout and actually give it more to grip.
- Lilac batches can differ in shade, so buy every tile you need at the same time.
- No slip result appears and all floor uses are marked NO; this is a wall tile, and matt should not be read as non slip.
- Look over colour, finish and thickness before the Lilac goes up; Dune does not entertain claims after installation.
- Technical results are informative values from Dune’s current datasheet.
