Midgley West Soap Stone Coffee Tile 24"x48" - Natural

Soap Stone Coffee, 24" 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. A natural finish holds grip when it is wet and does not show water spotting the way a polished face does. Porcelain is fired dense enough that water is not an issue, indoors or in a sheltered spot outside. A box holds 15.5 sq ft, so a 100 sq ft floor works out at 8 boxes once you add the usual ten percent for cuts and the odd broken piece. Have a look at it in Mississauga or Barrie before you order, ideally next to whatever it is going beside.
