Midgley West Quarzi Frammenti Valmalenco Tile 6"x48" - Lappato

Quarzi Frammenti Valmalenco, 6" x 48", is large enough that the subfloor has to be flat first, because a tile this size telegraphs every dip underneath. The look is worth the prep. The lappato finish is part polished, part matte, which gives you some shine without the full slip of a polish. The low absorption is the reason porcelain ends up in wet rooms and entries. It takes water, salt and grit without complaint. 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. Work on 12 sq ft a box. That puts a 100 sq ft floor at 10 boxes with ten percent in hand, which is what you want for cuts and breakage. Both our Mississauga and Barrie stores have it out, and we can get you a loose piece to take home.
