Centura Integra Porcelain Tile

Centura lists Integra Pearl in the Integra range: a 12" x 24" porcelain tile. Centura gives it a matte surface that holds light rather than throwing it back. Centura rates shade variation at V2, a slight shift in tone between pieces that keeps the surface from looking printed. At 12" x 24", it covers ground with fewer grout lines than a small format, which keeps a room reading as one surface. Centura tests it at R10, which covers floors that see occasional water such as kitchens, bathrooms and entry halls. Frost resistance means it can be laid outdoors or in an unheated space without spalling through a freeze-thaw cycle. Floor and wall use are both covered, useful where a feature wall and the floor beneath it need to match exactly. The edges are rectified, cut square after firing, so it sets with a joint of roughly 2 to 3 mm over a flat substrate. The body measures 9.5 mm. The suggested grout is 949 - Silverado. One box contains 6 pieces, enough for 11.32 sq ft, or 1.8868 sq ft a piece.
