Porcelain subway tile with matte finish in multiple colors
Material: Vitreous porcelain body, fired at high temperature for non-porous durability. Format: 2.5-inch by 9-inch field tile with matte surface texture. Finish: Matte glaze reduces light reflection and conceals minor installation variations. Profile: Subway tile geometry with straight edges, suitable for running bond and stacked bond layouts. Color options: Gravity, Moon, Orbit, Orion, Solar—each formulated with consistent pigmentation throughout the tile body. Manufacturing: Porcelain composition provides water absorption below 0.5%, meeting ASTM C373 standards for non-vitreous tile classification.
Wall Applications: Designed for interior wall installation in kitchens, bathrooms, and accent areas. Matte finish reduces gloss and provides visual uniformity across grout lines. Backsplash: Suitable for kitchen backsplash applications where splash resistance and easy cleaning are required. The non-porous surface prevents staining and moisture penetration. Shower Walls: Porcelain composition and low water absorption make this appropriate for shower wall installation when properly sealed at grout joints. Fireplace Surround: Matte finish and neutral color palette work for fireplace applications where heat resistance and aesthetic consistency are priorities. Grout Compatibility: Works with both standard and epoxy grout systems. Installation: Requires thin-set mortar and appropriate substrate preparation. Not recommended for floor applications due to potential slip hazard with matte finish on horizontal surfaces.
