Pink Glossy Ceramic Accent Tiles 6x8

A glossy pink ceramic accent tile, six by eight inches, three eighths of an inch deep. Each piece covers a third of a square foot, and fourteen of them come to a box for 4.67 square feet.

A rectangle, not a square

Six by eight is an odd size for an accent and that is the point of it: laid on the short edge it stacks into columns, laid long it runs as a band, and neither reads like the square tiles around it. Accent tiles ceramic pink of this kind take their colour from the glaze, so it is consistent across the box and will not fade where the light falls hardest. Gloss reflects whatever is in the room back at you, which makes a pink read warmer under lamps than it does by day.

• 0.33 sq ft a piece Fourteen pieces, 4.67 square feet a box.
• Two orientations Stacked as columns or run as a band.

One approval is recorded, commercial interior walls, with kitchen as the room noted. Accent pieces are normally set into a field of plain tile rather than run wall to wall, but fifteen boxes would reach 60 square feet if a whole surface were wanted. Ceramic snaps cleanly with a hand cutter, so a band that has to stop at a fixture is not a difficult piece of work.

• Fifteen boxes What a full 60 square feet would take.
• Set into a field A band or scattered pieces, not usually wall to wall.

Why we chose it

• Unusual proportion Six by eight sits apart from the square tiles around it.
• Colour that lasts Fired glaze does not fade or need repainting.
• Nothing to seal Glazed ceramic resists stains as it comes.

Care

No sealer is needed. Household tile cleaner suits the glaze and a soft cloth keeps the reflection even.
