Daltile Sector Slate Matrix

The Sector Slate Matrix in 12" x 24" hits the middle. Fewer grout lines than a small tile, none of the handling that comes with large format. Matte is the safer finish underfoot once water gets on it, and it hides the day to day better than a polish does. Porcelain absorbs almost no water, which is what lets it go into a shower, a mudroom or a covered porch without any fuss. 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.
