What kind of tile is Quebec Onyx?

We stock Quebec Onyx as onyx, 31.5X71. It reads gray-light. Azure Regal Calacatta and Calacatta Golden Mist sit in the same style family if you want to compare. It belongs to the tub & shower surrounds range. Ace sets backsplash after the countertop, because the layout is measured off the finished stone.

Sizes and finishes

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

Sizes

Quebec Onyx 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.

Where it works

The applications this surface is actually rated for.

The spec sheet clears this one for flooring — 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: Low

The maker grades tile-to-tile variation on this one as low. A single sample is a reasonable way to judge it.

Wear rating: PEI 3

Its abrasion class is PEI 3 of a possible 5, meaning walls, counters and normal residential floors — the usual rating for a kitchen.

Certifications

What it holds: Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

What to put next to it

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

Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #DEDDD7 — light and essentially neutral — which puts it nearest Cream / Antique White in our pairing data. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.

Cabinets

Sage Green — muted green loves creamy warmth. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials solid

Countertop

Green / Dramatic Veined Stone — dramatic green stone over quiet cream boxes. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element current

Island

Walnut — Cream perimeter cabinets let a walnut island play the furniture piece, and cream forgives the slow amber shift walnut takes on in a sunny room.. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic

Backsplash

Terracotta / Clay — Cream cabinets give terracotta tile room to glow instead of shout — the pairing ages like a Marseille farmhouse, better every year the glaze crazes.. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials current

Steer away from

Pure White — cream next to pure white makes the cream look dirty — pick one white family

Questions about Quebec Onyx

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

What size is Quebec Onyx?

Quebec Onyx comes in 2 sizes: 31.5X71 · 31.5x94.5. 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 Quebec Onyx?

Its maker rates it for flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.

Can Quebec Onyx 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 Quebec Onyx, really?

We measured its own swatch at #DEDDD7 — 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 Quebec Onyx need sealing?

Yes. Onyx is soft, porous and translucent. Seal it, keep acids away from it, and treat it as the jewelry of the stone world rather than a work surface.
