Midgley West Soap Stone Grey Tile 40"x40"

Soap Stone Grey at 40" x 40" 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 natural surface keeps its texture, which is what you want where feet arrive wet. The low absorption is the reason porcelain ends up in wet rooms and entries. It takes water, salt and grit without complaint. Both the Mississauga and Barrie stores keep it out, so you can put it beside your cabinet door or a paint chip before you commit.
