Midgley West Quarzi Vipiteno Mosaic Tile 10"x12" Esagona - Lappato

Quarzi Vipiteno at 10" x 12" is a practical size for a small floor or a feature wall, where a large tile would end up mostly cut. 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. A box holds 4.09 sq ft, so a 100 sq ft floor works out at 27 boxes once you add the usual ten percent for cuts and the odd broken piece. Come and see it in Mississauga or Barrie. Tile rarely looks the same in a store as it does on a phone screen.
