Cloud White Glossy San Felipe Ceramic Tiles 6x7 3/8

San Felipe is the 6x7 3/8 member of the Cloud White group of ceramic tiles, all sharing the same glossy white glaze. Being wider than its 4x7 1/2 sibling, it puts fewer grout lines across a given wall, which reads calmer from a step back.

Scale changes the read

Two walls tiled in the same glaze can look quite different depending on the size of the piece, and this is the larger of the two. Fewer lines, larger fields of white, more reflection carried across each face. The glaze is fired, so daylight will not lift the colour out of it over the years. Bodies measure 3/8 inch. Edges arrive rounded.

• Fewer lines A wider piece means fewer joints crossing the same area.
• Reflective face Gloss bounces daylight, which helps a wall that sits away from a window.

Shower walls

Shower walls is the usage recorded here, with living room noted as the room. Wet areas ask for proper waterproofing behind whatever goes on top, and this glazed body sits on that. Cutting is straightforward: a niche or a mixer valve means several cuts and a snap cutter deals with them. Coverage sits at 0.22 square feet a piece, 4.84 a box, and 15 boxes will take care of 60 square feet with 15 percent for waste.

• Coverage 22 pieces make up a box and cover 4.84 square feet.
• Substrate Gloss telegraphs any hollow or hump behind it, so flatness pays off.

Why we chose it

• Wide format More area per piece and fewer joints to keep straight.
• Fired colour Glaze colour is permanent and will not fade where the light falls.
• A smaller option The same white exists at 4x7 1/2 when a finer grid suits better.

Care

Wipe with a cloth and a household cleaner made for tile. There is no sealer step on glazed ceramic. Water marks disappear if the face is dried after cleaning.
