What kind of tile is Charcoal?

We stock Charcoal as porcelain in a fluted shape, 7X16. It reads gray-dark. The recommended grout colors are new taupe **based on custom building products - grout solutions. It comes as mesh-backed mosaic sheet, which sets faster than loose pieces. Porcelain is the hard-wearing end of the fired-clay family: dense body, tight edges, and no sealing.

Sizes and finishes

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

Sizes

Charcoal is made in a single size, 7X16. 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.

Where it is rated to go: flooring, at 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

On the certification side, Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

What to put next to it

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

Measured, not guessed: #7E7672, mid and essentially neutral. The nearest color we hold pairings for is Slate Blue. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.

Cabinets

Warm White / Ivory — A slate-blue island in a warm-white kitchen is the safest color move in the book — enough character to anchor the room, never enough to scare a future buyer.. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Flooring

Ash Blond Wood — Pale straw-blond ash underfoot takes the chill off slate-blue cabinetry, landing the room Scandinavian-coastal instead of cold.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid

Questions about Charcoal

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

What size is Charcoal?

Charcoal comes in one size, 7X16. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.

Where can I use Charcoal?

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?

Charcoal 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 Charcoal, really?

We measured its own swatch at #7E7672 — mid and essentially neutral. 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 Charcoal need sealing?

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