Ceratec Bohemian Bronze Green Glossy Porcelain Subway Tile 2" x 7"

A backsplash or a shower wall is looked at up close every day, so the colour, the sheen and the grout line count for more than they do on a floor. Bohemian Bronze Green is made for that wall.

In simple terms: Bohemian Bronze Green is a 2x7 porcelain subway tile for walls only, such as backsplashes, feature walls and shower walls.

It is the glossy finish in Bronze Green from the Ceratec Bohemian range.

The actual size is 2.3" x 7.3" (60 x 186 mm). It is 7.5 mm thick. The spec sheet lists water absorption below 0.5%. It is frost resistant. Shade variation is V4, dramatic. It is made in Spain. Porcelain is fired dense, so it handles water, spills and daily foot traffic and the tile itself never needs sealing.

It suits kitchen backsplashes, feature walls, bathroom and shower walls and tub surrounds. Pick it for walls only; for a floor, choose a tile that is listed for floors.

Each box holds 38 pieces and covers 4.43 sq ft, so a 30 sq ft kitchen backsplash takes 7 boxes, or 8 boxes with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 25 boxes with the 10% extra included.

It is listed for walls only, so do not put it on a floor, including a shower floor. At V4 the shade moves a lot from piece to piece, so we blend from several boxes as we lay it.

In this size, Bohemian also comes in colours including Charcoal, Coffee Quartz, Cotton, Dark Blue and Mink. Bronze Green also comes in 4" x 4". For edges, Ceratec recommends a 3/8" trim profile.

Our own crews install it, so the people who measure the job are the people who answer for it. See Ceratec Bohemian Bronze Green in person at our Mississauga showroom (700 Dundas St E, Unit 3-4, 905-277-2227) or our Barrie showroom (112 Saunders Rd, Units 1-4, 705-726-2272).
