Midgley West Quarzi Tirol Mosaic Tile 2"x2" - Lappato

Quarzi Tirol, 2" x 2", comes on a mesh sheet, which is the only sensible way to tile a shower pan or wrap a curved wall. The lappato finish is part polished, part matte, which gives you some shine without the full slip of a polish. Porcelain is the hard wearing one. It is what we put down in a hallway, an entry or anywhere boots and grit arrive. 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. A box holds 4.84 sq ft, so a 100 sq ft floor works out at 23 boxes once you add the usual ten percent for cuts and the odd broken piece. Expect a lot of grout with a sheet this small, so the grout colour will do as much to the finished look as the tile does. It is on display in Mississauga and Barrie if you want to see a full sheet rather than a photograph.
