EMSER TILE LLC METAMOR GLOSSY 3X8
Handcrafted porcelain subway tile in glossy finish, 3x8 format
Selected Color: COPAN
Technical Specifications
Material composition: Porcelain body with glossy surface coating. Construction method: Handcrafted finish applied to porcelain substrate. Format: Subway profile, 3x8 inch tile. Surface: Glossy finish provides reflective properties suitable for light distribution in interior spaces. Porcelain body offers non-porous characteristics, reducing water absorption to less than 0.5% by industry standard.
Tile density and durability meet ASTM C1026 standards for porcelain. Handcrafted surface texture provides dimensional variation between pieces, typical of artisanal production methods.
Application & Performance
Primary applications: Wall installations, kitchen backsplash, shower walls, pool and spa surrounds, fireplace surrounds, and outdoor applications. Glossy surface finish reflects light effectively in bathrooms and kitchens, improving perceived brightness. Non-porous porcelain body prevents moisture absorption, critical for wet environments including shower walls and pool surrounds.
Handcrafted finish introduces natural color and texture variation between tiles, requiring careful layout planning for consistent appearance. Glossy surface provides slip resistance suitable for most interior applications but may require non-slip additives in high-moisture floor applications. Porcelain composition ensures freeze-thaw resistance for outdoor use in moderate climates.
