Description
Noche brings the darkest note to the Kit-Kat gloss palette, a black glaze with charcoal glints that turns a bar back wall or a powder room into something moody. Dune Kit Kat Mosaic Tile in Noche Gloss Finish is 8mm porcelain in a 115x231mm format, shaped as a gloss finger relief with pre-cuts.
Dune bases Kit-Kat on Japanese aesthetics, and its website presents the finger tile for decorative walls inside or outside and for commercial settings like bars and counters. The Noche datasheet, code 189214, records water absorption of E ≤ 0.5%, breaking strength over 35 N/mm² and a frost resistance pass.

Where to Use
- Powder room walls and ensuite shower walls, both ticked by Dune
- Covered outdoor entertaining walls, as outdoor walls are ticked
- Sauna or steam room walls, listed among the high condensation uses
- Pool walls, which Dune marks as a use; pool floors and steps are excluded
How to Apply
- Get the surface ready: solid, level, dry and clean, with dips or bumps over 2mm corrected and moisture under 2%.
- Pick a C2 adhesive: Dune calls for C2 cementitious adhesive on porcelain, and suggests trialling it with a minimum of two tiles.
- Bed each tile: from the lowest course, apply around 3mm of adhesive, notch it with a no. 3 trowel and set the tile before a skin forms.
- Mind the joints: 2mm or more, 3mm on plasterboard, matching the pre-cut spacing, with offsets limited to 25% and self levelling spacers in place.
- Finish the grout: grout joints and grooves completely, clean off surplus straight away with a wet sponge, and use epoxy grout close to water.
Colour and Finish
A charcoal or black grout keeps the wall dark and continuous, while a pale grout draws out every finger in a graphic grid. The sheet grades Noche V3 for shade variation with 6 faces and an irregular texture; mixing boxes during fixing keeps that character even.
The other gloss colours include Snow, Ivory, Musgo, Water, Ocean and Grass, with White, Grey, Anise Green, Sky and Lilac in matt.
Important Notes
- Batches can vary in shade, so buy enough for the full area from one production batch.
- All results listed are Dune’s own published datasheet values.
- Confirm colour, finish and thickness before any tile goes on the wall; Dune rejects claims after installation.
- Small pores along the pre-cuts are normal on Kit-Kat, says Dune, and vanish once grouted.
- No slip result is listed and every floor use is marked NO: do not use on floors, steps or shower bases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dune Kit Kat Noche porcelain?
Yes. The datasheet classes Kit Kat Noche Gloss as porcelain, with water absorption of E ≤ 0.5% under UNE EN ISO 10545-3.
What grout colour suits a black Kit Kat tile?
A dark grout gives a seamless black wall and a light grout highlights the fingers; test grout on a few pieces first, as Dune advises.
How many Kit Kat Noche tiles come in a box?
There are 24 tiles in each box, covering 0.64 m² and weighing 11.28 kg.
