What kind of tile is Caraibi?

We stock Caraibi as porcelain in a fluted shape, 5X10. Cappuccino and Chocolate sit in the same style family if you want to compare. It reads green. Porcelain is ceramic fired denser and harder, so it absorbs almost no water and holds a cut edge around an outlet.

Sizes and finishes

How it is actually sold — measured off the spec sheet, not rounded.

Sizes

Caraibi is made in a single size, 5X10. That makes layout simple — what you see in the sample is the module you get across the whole wall.

Where it works

The applications this surface is actually rated for.

Its maker rates Caraibi for flooring — all of it at commercial duty.

Rated for

Flooring — residential and commercial

What to expect once it is installed

The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.

Shade variation: V2 — slight variation

Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone between pieces. Most people never notice it once it is grouted.

Certifications

The certification list: Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Caraibi itself, not from its name.

Read off its own swatch, Caraibi measures #A49B8D: mid-light, warm. We match that to Concrete / Cement Gray and build the pairings from there. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.

Cabinets

Pure White — soft modern; keeps a small kitchen light without going all-white. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid

Backsplash

Terracotta / Clay — Concrete gray is the cold plunge terracotta needs — without it the clay goes theme-restaurant, with it the wall reads earthy and editorial.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current

Steer away from

Light Gray — Flat gray on flat gray is the 2015 flip-house special — no undertone tension, so the whole room goes dishwater the moment the light drops.

Questions about Caraibi

Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.

What size is Caraibi?

Caraibi comes in one size, 5X10. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.

Where can I use Caraibi?

Its maker rates it for flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.

Will the tiles match the sample I saw?

Caraibi is rated V2 — slight variation. Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone that most people stop noticing once it is grouted.

What color is Caraibi, really?

We measured its own swatch at #A49B8D — mid-light and warm. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.

Does Caraibi need sealing?

No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
