Description
A ceramic accent tile in one glossy red, 8 by 8 inches and 3/8 of an inch thick. The colour sits in the fired glaze rather than in the clay body under it. Fourteen pieces fill a box and cover 6.22 square feet.
Colour that stays put
A fired glaze holds its shade and does not fade in sunlight, which is the reason a strong colour is worth committing to on ceramic rather than on a painted surface. The style is recorded as solid colour, with no pattern or variation built in, so the red arrives the same in every piece. Gloss adds to that by reflecting the light in the room back at you. The flip side is that a glossy face reports the substrate under it honestly, and any hollow or bump behind the tile will read in the reflection once the lights are on.
- Glaze deep colour Fired in, so sunlight does not fade it.
- Flat behind it Gloss shows every dip in the surface it is set on.
One recorded approval
Commercial interior walls is the only rating on file, with living room as the recorded room. Accent tiles ceramic red at this size are usually set into a field of plain tile, as a single band or scattered through it, rather than run across a whole area. Twelve boxes would reach 60 square feet if a full run were wanted. Glazed ceramic like this is not rated for floors, nor for outdoor work, and the body takes up more water than porcelain does.
- Walls only Commercial interior walls is the single approval recorded.
- 6.22 sq ft a box Fourteen pieces, each covering 0.44 square feet.
Why we chose it
- Strong colour A fired red that does not need paint or upkeep to stay red.
- Easy cuts Ceramic snaps cleanly, which helps where there are many cuts.
- No sealing The glaze resists stains on its own.
Care
No sealing is needed. Any household tile cleaner works on the glaze, and a soft cloth keeps the gloss clear of streaks. The grout between pieces will need more attention than the tile itself.
