Daltile Perpetuo Infinite Black

Perpetuo Infinite Black, 1 1/2" x 8", puts you in subway territory, the size most kitchens default to, mostly because it works and the cuts are easy. A matte surface stays reasonably grippy wet and will not throw glare across the room. Porcelain absorbs almost no water, which is what lets it go into a shower, a mudroom or a covered porch without any fuss. It is on display in Mississauga and Barrie if you want to see a full sheet rather than a photograph.
