What kind of tile is Copper?

We stock Copper as porcelain in a metal shape, 12x24. It reads brown. We stock 3 formats of it — 12x24, 24x48. Porcelain is the hard-wearing end of the fired-clay family: dense body, tight edges, and no sealing. The store classes it as glazed.

Sizes

Copper is made in 3 sizes. Size is the decision people skip and then notice every day: it sets how much grout line ends up in the field, and a larger module on the same wall reads calmer than a small one.

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

Not rated for

Outdoors — not recommended

What to expect once it is installed

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

Shade variation: V4 — substantial variation

Substantial variation is the point of a tile like this, and it is also how orders go wrong. One production run, overage bought up front, and a dry lay you actually walk over to look at.

Wear rating: PEI 3

PEI is the industry abrasion class, 1 to 5. At PEI 3 this tile is rated for everything a kitchen asks of it: walls, counters and residential floors.

Certifications

The certification list: Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

What to put next to it

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

Read off its own swatch, Copper measures #7E7466: mid, warm. We match that to Slate Blue and build the pairings from there. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow 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 Copper

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

What size is Copper?

Copper comes in 3 sizes: 12x24 · 24x48 · 2x2. Pick the size before the color. It decides how much grout line ends up in the field, and on the same wall a larger module reads calmer than a small one.

Where can I use Copper?

Its maker rates it for flooring, and not for outdoors. 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?

Copper is rated V4 — substantial variation, by design. Two pieces side by side can look like different products. Order from one production run, buy the overage up front, and insist on a dry lay. This is the rating that generates complaints when nobody was told.

Can Copper go on a floor?

Yes. At PEI 3 it is rated for normal residential floors as well as walls and counters — the usual rating for a kitchen.

What color is Copper, really?

We measured its own swatch at #7E7466 — mid 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 Copper need sealing?

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