What kind of tile is Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile?

We stock Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile as ceramic. It reads gris (light gray). Ceramic has been the default backsplash for a century because the glaze cleans up and the price does not scare anybody. Ace tiles it on the same project as the counter, always after the stone is in.

Sizes and finishes

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

Sizes

Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile 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

What to expect once it is installed

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

Shade variation: V3 — moderate variation

Pieces will differ visibly. That is what makes the wall look like stone instead of wallpaper, but it means judging it from one piece will mislead you.

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 Gold · USGBC/LEED. Gold is the tighter of the two Greenguard thresholds, set for rooms full of children rather than for a house. It is LEED-eligible on top of that.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile itself, not from its name.

Read off its own swatch, Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile measures #A29E90: mid-light, warm. We match that to Concrete / Cement Gray and build the pairings from there. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

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 Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile

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

What size is Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile?

Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile comes in 3 sizes: 12x24 · 3x18 BullNose · 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 Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile?

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?

Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile is rated V3 — moderate variation. Expect visible differences in shade and pattern between pieces. Choose from several, and have the installer dry-lay and shuffle boxes before setting.

Can Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile 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 Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile, really?

We measured its own swatch at #A29E90 — 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 Gridscale Gris Ceramic Tile need sealing?

No. A glazed ceramic face is already impervious. The tile needs no sealing — the grout between it is what wants attention.
