Ceratec Westside Silver Matte Porcelain Tile 12" x 24"

Hardwood does not belong in a wet bathroom or a damp basement. Westside Silver gives you the wood look in porcelain that can go there.

In simple terms: Westside Silver is a 12x24 wood look porcelain tile for floors and walls, indoors and out.

It is the matte finish in Silver from the Ceratec Westside range.

The actual size is 11.8" x 23.6" (300 x 600 mm). It is 8.5 mm thick. The spec sheet lists PEI III surface abrasion rating, a wet DCOF slip reading above 0.42 and water absorption below 0.5%. It is rated for light commercial traffic. It is frost resistant. Shade variation is V2, slight. It is designed by Ceratec in Canada and made in Turkey. Porcelain is fired dense, so it handles water, spills and daily foot traffic and the tile itself never needs sealing.

It suits basements, kitchens and bathrooms where hardwood would not stand up to water, open-plan floors, living areas, shower and bathroom walls and covered porches and patios. Pick it over hardwood or laminate anywhere the floor can get wet.

Each box holds 9 pieces and covers 17.4 sq ft, so a 150 sq ft kitchen floor takes 9 boxes, or 10 boxes with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 7 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. It is rated for light commercial traffic, so keep it out of busy commercial floors.

In this size, Westside also comes in Grey and White. Silver also comes in 2" x 2" and 12" x 12". For edges, Ceratec recommends a 3/8" trim profile.
