G-Tile Silver River Matte Carved-Shine Porcelain Tile 12" x 24"

G-Tile Silver River is a matte carved-shine glazed porcelain tile in 12" x 24" (300 x 600 mm), rectified, part of the G-Tile Silver River range. The print runs 8 faces before it repeats, and the shade variation is rated V3.

It is 8.5 mm thick and made in India. It is rated PEI 4, which the PEI scale puts at light to heavy commercial wear. 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 5 pieces and covers 9.69 sq ft, so a 150 sq ft kitchen floor takes 16 boxes, or 18 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.

Our own crews install it. See G-Tile Silver River 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).
