Is the Clay Porcelain Tile Matte 5x5 suitable for use in wet areas like showers and pools?

Yes, the Clay Porcelain Tile Matte 5x5 is an excellent choice for wet areas such as showers, pools, backsplashes, and bathrooms. Its low water absorption rate (≤0.5%) and frost resistance make it durable and safe for these applications. Plus, the matte finish helps reduce slipperiness, so it's also practical for pool surrounds and other damp spaces.

How durable is the Clay Porcelain Tile Matte 5x5 for everyday use, especially on floors?

This tile is made from premium porcelain and has a PEI rating of 3, meaning it's tough enough for both residential floors and light commercial wall spaces. Its breaking strength is over 250 lbs, making it resistant to cracks and wear from daily use. The chemical and stain resistance also help the tile maintain its look over time, even in high-traffic areas.

How easy is it to clean and maintain these matte porcelain tiles?

The Clay Porcelain Tile Matte 5x5 is designed to be low-maintenance and easy to care for. Just clean up spills promptly with mild soap and water—there’s no need for special cleaners. The matte finish doesn't show water spots or fingerprints as much as glossy tiles, helping your surfaces stay looking fresh and tidy.

Will the handmade look and color variations match my design style?

Absolutely. The Clay Porcelain Tile Matte 5x5 features a timeless square shape and a subtle, handmade look that adds character and warmth to any space. The natural color variations in Brick and Sand offer a minimalist clay aesthetic that pairs well with both modern and classic styles, making them versatile for kitchens, bathrooms, pools, and accent walls.

How many tiles do I need for my project, and how are they packaged?

Each tile measures 5" x 5" and covers .16 sq. ft. They're sold in boxes containing 34 pieces, with each box covering about 5.5 sq. ft. To calculate the right amount for your project, determine the total square footage you need to cover and divide by 5.5 to see how many boxes to order. It’s always wise to order an extra box or two for cuts and future repairs.
