Daltile Uniform Wood Taupe

Uniform Wood Taupe, 8" x 48", 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. A matte surface stays reasonably grippy wet and will not throw glare across the room. Porcelain absorbs almost no water, which is what lets it go into a shower, a mudroom or a covered porch without any fuss. Worth seeing in person in Mississauga or Barrie, because lighting changes tile more than people expect.
