Olympia Tile Oxford Super White Glossy Ceramic Hexagon Tile 7"

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. Oxford Super White Hexagon is made for that wall.

In simple terms: Oxford Super White Hexagon is a 7in brick look ceramic tile for walls only, such as backsplashes and shower walls.

It is the glossy finish in Super White from the Olympia Tile Oxford range. The pattern or piece type is hexagon. The actual size is 6.89" x 7.87", or 17.5 x 20 cm.

It is 8.1 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 37 pieces and covers 10.77 sq ft, so a 30 sq ft kitchen backsplash takes 3 boxes, or 4 boxes with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 11 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.

Super White also comes in 3" x 12" and 3" x 6". Matching round edge long side and round edge short side trim is listed in the same colour.
