Ceratec Iceland White Matte Porcelain Tile 24" x 24"

Large tile means fewer grout lines to scrub, and a room reads bigger with them. Iceland White gives you that in 24" x 24".

In simple terms: Iceland White is a 24x24 porcelain tile for floors and walls, indoors and out.

It is the matte finish in White from the Ceratec Iceland range.

The actual size is 23.6" x 23.6" (600 x 600 mm). It is 9.5 mm thick. The edges are rectified, so it can be set with a tight grout joint. The body is coloured to match the surface, so a chip shows less than it would on a white-body tile. The spec sheet lists PEI IV surface abrasion rating, a wet DCOF slip reading below 0.42 and water absorption below 0.5%. It is rated for commercial traffic. It is frost resistant. Shade variation is V1, uniform. It is designed by Ceratec in Canada and made in China. Porcelain is fired dense, so it handles water, spills and daily foot traffic and the tile itself never needs sealing.

It suits open-plan floors, living areas, basements, shower and bathroom walls and commercial floors such as stores and offices. Pick it over a smaller tile when you want fewer grout lines; pick smaller if the floor is out of level.

Each box holds 4 pieces and covers 15.47 sq ft, so a 150 sq ft kitchen floor takes 10 boxes, or 11 boxes with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 8 boxes with the 10% extra included.

It is listed for outdoor use, but an outdoor floor also needs the right base and slope, so ask us before planning it outside. Its wet slip reading is below 0.42, the level most people look for on a wet floor, so keep it off shower floors and wet entries.

In this size, Iceland also comes in Black. White also comes in 12" x 24". For edges, Ceratec recommends a 1/2" trim profile.
