Olympia Tile Ontario White and Black Matte Porcelain Hexagon Mosaic 2"

A shower floor has to slope to the drain. Small pieces on a mesh sheet are what let the tile follow that slope, and the extra grout lines give your feet more grip.

In simple terms: Ontario White and Black Hexagon is a 2in porcelain mosaic for floors and walls, indoors and out.

It is the matte finish in White and Black from the Olympia Tile Ontario range. The pattern or piece type is hexagon. Each sheet measures 12.6" x 10.63", or 32 x 27 cm.

It is 6 mm thick. It is rated for medium commercial traffic. Porcelain is fired dense, so it handles water, spills and daily foot traffic and the tile itself does not need sealing.

It suits shower floors, bathroom floors, backsplashes, accent strips in a shower and covered porches and patios. Pick it over a larger tile wherever the floor has to slope or the wall needs a detail.

Each sheet covers 0.93 sq ft, so a 40 sq ft bathroom floor takes 44 sheets, or 48 sheets with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. It is sold by the sheet, so you order exactly the count you need. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 119 sheets with the 10% extra included.

It is listed for outdoor use, but an outdoor floor also needs the right base and slope, so ask us before planning it outside.

In this size, Ontario also comes in Black, Dark Grey, Snow White, Tender Grey and Biscuit.

Our own crews install it, so the people who measure the job are the people who answer for it. See Olympia Tile Ontario White and Black Hexagon 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).
