What kind of tile is Gold Rush?

We stock Gold Rush as slate, 6x12x6. Canyon Creek and Golden Honey sit in the same style family if you want to compare. It reads brown. Slate is dense natural stone with a cleft face, so the surface reads textured rather than flat.

Sizes and finishes

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

Sizes

Gold Rush is made in 2 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.

What to expect once it is installed

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

Grout free

This one is designed to be set without grout lines. It installs faster and leaves nothing to discolor, but it also means the substrate has to be genuinely flat — we check that before we quote.

Piece-to-piece variation: High

Variation: high. Expect the delivery to have more range in it than the sample suggested. It is not a defect and it is not negotiable — it is how the material comes.

Certifications

On the certification side, Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. The Gold standard was written for schools, which is a stricter bar than a kitchen would ever have to clear. Worth a LEED credit too, on the jobs that track them.

What to put next to it

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

Measured, not guessed: #717167, mid and near-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 Gold Rush

What color is Gold Rush, really?

What is Gold Rush made of?

Gold Rush is a slate tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.

Does Gold Rush need sealing?

Yes. Slate wants a sealer to keep it from taking on stains, and it will show water spotting near a sink until it is sealed.

Does Gold Rush need grout?

No — it is designed to be set without grout lines. That installs faster and leaves nothing to discolor, but the substrate has to be genuinely flat. We check that before we quote, not after.
