G-Tile Gaia Cloud Matte Porcelain Tile 12" x 24"

G-Tile Gaia Cloud is a matte glazed porcelain tile in 12" x 24" (300 x 600 mm), non-rectified, part of the G-Tile Gaia range. The colour is Cloud. The print runs 21 faces before it repeats, and the shade variation is rated V3.

It is 8 mm thick and made in Türkiye. It is rated PEI 4, which the PEI scale puts at light to heavy commercial wear. Mohs hardness is 5. It is rated R9 for slip, the residential standard on the spec sheet. Glazed porcelain has water absorption at or below 0.5%, so the tile itself does not need sealing.

Each box holds 8 pieces and covers 15.5 sq ft, so a 150 sq ft kitchen floor takes 10 boxes, or 11 boxes with about 10% extra for cuts and spares.

The spec sheet gives no frost rating, so we keep it indoors: no porches, patios or exterior steps. At R9 it is not the tile for a shower floor or a wet commercial area; the spec sheet points those to R10 or higher. It is pressed, not rectified, so plan on a slightly wider grout joint than a rectified tile.

Our own crews install it. See G-Tile Gaia Cloud 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).
