Aquatica Teal Green Porcelain Mosaic Tile 12x12.5 - Botanical

The Aquatica Teal Green Porcelain Mosaic Tile brings sophisticated botanical character to wet spaces with water absorption below 0.5%, making it naturally suitable for wet environments. This Grade 1 porcelain mosaic features pre-mounted 6"x6" individual stones on a 12"x12.5" backing sheet, ready for installation on backsplashes, shower walls, pool surrounds, and accent walls.

• Material Composition: Grade 1 porcelain represents the highest quality classification for ceramic tile, engineered with intense pressure and firing at significantly higher temperatures, often reaching nearly 2,500°F, resulting in a water absorption rate of less than 0.5% ideal for moisture-heavy environments
• Water Resistance: Impervious porcelain tile (≤0.5% absorption) is the standard specification for shower floors, steam rooms, and commercial kitchen floors. Lower absorption means fewer pores for staining agents to penetrate, and impervious porcelain tiles are naturally stain-resistant
• Freeze-Thaw Protection: Suitable for any application — indoor floors and walls, outdoor patios, pool areas, freeze-thaw climates, commercial spaces, wet areas. The frost-resistant composition prevents frost damage when ceramic tiles absorb moisture through pores, causing water to freeze internally; since water expands when it freezes, tension is exerted inside the ceramic tile, which may become high enough to cause cracks
• Stone Configuration: Individual 6"x6" mosaic stones pre-mounted on 12"x12.5" backing sheet for efficient installation
• Profile & Finish: 6mm thickness with glossy surface that reflects light to enhance the teal green color while providing contemporary aesthetics
• Installation: Use latex-modified thinset mortar for optimal bond strength and performance in wet conditions

The lower the absorption, the denser and stronger the tile, making it resistant to cracks, stains, and freeze-thaw damage. Whether designing a pool deck, shower enclosure, or decorative backsplash, this mosaic tile delivers proven performance in projects where materials face daily water exposure, temperature fluctuations, and environmental stress. All porcelain tiles have a water absorption rate of 0.5% or less, classifying them as impervious and making them appropriate for moisture-prone areas, while the teal green hue adds lasting visual appeal to any wet-space application.
