Olympia Tile Colour and Dimension Beige Matte Ceramic Tile 8" x 20"

A backsplash or a shower wall is looked at up close every day, so the colour, the sheen and the grout line count for more than they do on a floor. Colour and Dimension Beige is made for that wall.

In simple terms: Colour and Dimension Beige is an 8x20 ceramic tile for walls only, such as backsplashes and shower walls.

It is the matte finish in Beige from the Olympia Tile Colour and Dimension range. The actual size is 7.87" x 19.69", or 20 x 50 cm.

It is 9.8 mm thick. Ceramic has a lighter, softer body than porcelain, which makes it easy to cut and set, and it is mostly used on walls.

It suits kitchen backsplashes, feature walls, bathroom and shower walls and tub surrounds. Pick it over a porcelain floor tile for walls, since it is lighter and easier to cut around outlets and corners; keep a porcelain on the floor.

Each box holds 12 pieces and covers 12.91 sq ft, so a 30 sq ft kitchen backsplash takes 3 boxes, and that still leaves about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 9 boxes with the 10% extra included.

It is listed for walls only, so do not put it on a floor, including a shower floor. No outdoor rating is listed, so keep it on indoor walls.

In this size, Colour and Dimension also comes in Arctic White, Biscuit, Black, Bone and Warm White. Beige also comes in 3" x 6" and 4" x 16".

Our own crews install it, so the people who measure the job are the people who answer for it. See Olympia Tile Colour and Dimension Beige in person at our Mississauga showroom (700 Dundas St E, Unit 3-4, 905-277-2227) or our Barrie showroom (112 Saunders Rd, Units 1-4, 705-726-2272).
