NO. 3 | Brazillian Black 4"x12" Slate Subway Tiles

Brazillian Black 4"x12" slate is a sustainable, natural, highly durable product that comes in shades of black and grey. the tile is split on the natural grain to yield a cleft texture and matte surface providing a natural slip resistance. Using a pre-sealed white grout is highly recommended to give the most impact in the design. We recommend using the Tec Power Grout Bright White with Brazillian black slate tiles. This not only creates a beautiful design, but gives a more intense contrast between each tile for a complete subway tile look. This tile is ideal for  areas like laundry rooms, entry-ways, kitchen backsplashes, fireplaces, and bathroom floors!

NO. 4 | Kaleido Ceramic Wall Tile Collection:Buff Gray 3x6 Wall Tile

By definition, the “crackle” finish is a glass glaze on a ceramic tile, fired at a specific temperature to create an antiqued crackled finish on the surface. It can be pronounced or subtle, and all the “it” designers and tile makers are definitely up on this game.We are in love with the gray tone in this tile with the slight softer light gray on the edges. Giving a suttle change in design for creating a beautiful dramatic look. The Kaleido Buff Gray is available not only in 3x6 but also 4x12 subway tiles. The 3x6 subway tile is mostly used on kitchen backsplashes, and this same tile is used in the 4x12 size on shower walls and fireplaces.
