Ceratec Terra Linea F Matte Porcelain Décor Tile 8" x 8"

A patterned floor is the one thing people remember about a room. Terra Linea F Décor gives you the pattern in porcelain, without the sealing that cement tile needs.

In simple terms: Terra Linea F Décor is an 8x8 porcelain tile for floors and walls, indoors and out.

It is the matte finish in Linea F from the Ceratec Terra range. The pattern or piece type is décor.

The actual size is 7.9" x 7.9" (200 x 200 mm). It is 9 mm thick. It is full-body porcelain: the colour runs through the tile, so a chip blends in. The spec sheet lists a wet DCOF slip reading above 0.42, an R9 slip rating and water absorption below 0.5%. It is rated for heavy commercial traffic. It is frost resistant. Shade variation is V3, moderate. It is made in Italy. Porcelain is fired dense, so it handles water, spills and daily foot traffic and the tile itself never needs sealing.

It suits kitchen floors, bathroom floors, hallways, basements, shower and bathroom walls, covered porches and patios and commercial floors such as stores and offices. Pick it when you want the floor to be the feature; in a large room, run a plain tile around a patterned area.

Each box holds 30 pieces and covers 13 sq ft, so a 40 sq ft bathroom floor takes 4 boxes, and that still leaves about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 9 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.

In this size, Terra also comes in colours including Anthracite, Avorio, Grigio, Nero and Rosso. For edges, Ceratec recommends a 1/2" trim profile.

Our own crews install it, so the people who measure the job are the people who answer for it. See Ceratec Terra Linea F Décor 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).
