Sizes

Praia Gray is made in 4 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.

Praia Gray carries a rating for 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

Moderate variation is where a sample stops telling the whole story. Look at a few pieces, and insist the boxes get shuffled and dry-laid before anything is set.

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.

Questions about Praia Gray

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

What size is Praia Gray?

Praia Gray comes in 4 sizes: 12x24 · 24x48 · 3x24 Bull Nose · 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 Praia Gray?

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?

Praia Gray 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 Praia Gray 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 Praia Gray, really?

We measured its own swatch at #CDC7C6 — light 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 Praia Gray need sealing?

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