Midgley West Artile Black Gold Tile 5"x14.5" Listello - Natural

The Artile Black Gold in 5" x 5" suits a small room. More grout lines than a big tile, but in a powder room or a laundry that is the point: fewer awkward cuts around the fixtures. A natural finish holds grip when it is wet and does not show water spotting the way a polished face does. Because it is porcelain the body is dense all the way through, so a chip does not show a different colour underneath the way it can on a glazed ceramic. The colours in this line are not all rated the same: PEI runs 4 to 5 across them, so check the rating on the one you are actually buying before it goes anywhere busy. Each box covers 48 sq ft. For a 100 sq ft room order 3 and you have your ten percent for cuts and a couple spare for repairs later. Worth seeing in person in Mississauga or Barrie, because lighting changes tile more than people expect.
