Cloud White Glossy Mina Reliefed Ceramic Accent Tiles 4 7/8x5

Mina Reliefed brings the Cloud White glaze onto a hexagon measuring 4 7/8 by 5. Six sided pieces behave differently from squares once they reach a corner, so this ceramic accent tile rewards a wall that has been set out on paper first.

Geometry doing the work

A flat white glaze leaves the six sided outline as the only thing to look at, which is the point. Rounded edges throw a thin shadow where pieces meet, and because every piece meets five others rather than three, that shadow builds into a honeycomb across the surface. Bodies run 3/8 inch. Rectangular ceramic tiles in the same white are made at 4x7 1/2 and 3x6.

• Five neighbours Each hexagon touches five others, which is what gives the honeycomb its read.
• Shadowed joints Rounded edges catch a fine line of shade at every meeting point.

Interior walls

Residential interior walls is what sits on file, living room the noted room. Hexagons need their edges thought through, since a half hexagon at a corner looks deliberate only when it repeats. Pieces are small at 0.08 square feet. A box carries 24 of them and reaches 1.92 square feet, which puts a 60 square foot wall at 36 boxes once the usual 15 percent waste margin is applied.

• Draw it first Set out the rows on paper so cut hexagons land in a consistent place.
• Box count runs high 1.92 square feet a box means a large wall needs a long order.

Why we chose it

• Pattern from shape No print is involved, so the geometry alone carries the wall.
• Familiar family Rectangular sizes in the identical glaze allow a mixed scheme.
• Straightforward upkeep Glazed ceramic tiles need no sealing at any stage.

Care

More joints per square foot means grout is a bigger part of what you see, so a cleaner suited to grout earns its place. The tile itself asks only for a wipe and never for a sealer.
