This Colorbody{trade} Porcelain is a very modern porcelain floor tile that is defined by its "Pin Dot" visual, textured surface, and two surface finishes; unpolished and light polished. A subtle veining characteristic adds to its dramatic and impressive visual.

Notes:

  • Special Care should be taken when grouting with dark pigmented colors. A grout release is recommended to prevent finely powdered pigments from lodging in the pores of the tile surface. Use of a modified latex thin-set is recommended for installation. Not for use on ramps.

  • Since there are variations in all fired ceramic products, the tile and trim supplied for your particular installation may not match these samples. Final selection should be made from actual tiles and trim, and not from tile and trim samples and color reproductions. Manufactured in accordance with ANSI A137.1 standards.

  • Installation Requirement: For proper bonding, medium bed mortar should be utilized in installing tiles with a dimensional length size greater than 20” x 20”, large rectangles or tiles with greater dimensional thickness than normal. Back buttering tiles of this nature in the installation process will also assure proper coverage for bonding.
