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

Sizes

Silver 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.

Rated for flooring, all of it at commercial duty. That is the maker's call, and we hold to it.

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: V2 — slight variation

Expect a little movement piece to piece — enough to look like a natural material, not enough to plan around.

Wear rating: PEI 4

Its abrasion class is PEI 4 of a possible 5, meaning residential floors and light commercial use — more wear rating than a house will spend.

Certifications

Certified Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

What to put next to it

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

Read off its own swatch, Silver measures #9A958C: mid-light, near-neutral. We match that to Warm Speckled Stone (Granite) and build the pairings from there. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.

Cabinets

  • Olive Drab Green — Olive cabinets and warm stone share the same earthen yellow base, so the kitchen reads as one grown thing rather than parts from a catalog.. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials current
  • Dusty Blue — Warm stone keeps dusty-blue cabinets from tipping nursery — the sandy flecks pull the blue toward coastal-grownup, and the busy surface hides crumbs between wipe-downs.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
  • Warm White / Ivory — traditional comfort; undertones agree. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid
  • Espresso — the 2008 set — honest but aging; modernize with slab tops instead. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element dated

Questions about Silver

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

What size is Silver?

Silver comes in 4 sizes: 24x48 · 40X40 · 1.8X24 · 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 Silver?

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?

Silver is rated V2 — slight variation. Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone that most people stop noticing once it is grouted.

Can Silver go on a floor?

Yes, comfortably. At PEI 4 it is rated past residential floors into light commercial traffic, so it will outlast the kitchen around it.

What color is Silver, really?

We measured its own swatch at #9A958C — mid-light and near-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 Silver need sealing?

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