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

The Quarzi Frammenti Vipiteno in 6" x 48" is large format, so you get far fewer grout lines and a floor that reads as one surface rather than a grid. The lappato finish is part polished, part matte, which gives you some shine without the full slip of a polish. Porcelain absorbs almost no water, which is what lets it go into a shower, a mudroom or a covered porch without any fuss. 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 12 sq ft. For a 100 sq ft room order 10 and you have your ten percent for cuts and a couple spare for repairs later. Come and see it in Mississauga or Barrie. Tile rarely looks the same in a store as it does on a phone screen.
