Planning the wall
What Brickstone Rustique Red Brick 2x18 works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 2×18 | 40 | 6.7 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
At 2×18, Brickstone Rustique Red Brick 2x18 puts about 40 pieces on every 10 square feet of wall and about 6.7 feet of grout line on every square foot.
2×18 is large-format — any edge of 15 inches or more — and large-format tile needs a flatter wall than small tile does, so we check the wall before we quote it.
Counts are before cuts — outlets, window returns and the ends of a run all take pieces. The install itself, from wall prep to caulk, is on our backsplash installation page.

Brickstone Rustique Red Brick 2x18 or Brickstone Red Brick 2x18?

What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Shade variation: V4 — substantial variation
Substantial variation is the point of a tile like this, and it is also how orders go wrong. One production run, overage bought up front, and a dry lay you actually walk over to look at.
Wear rating: PEI 4
Its abrasion class is PEI 4 of a possible 5, meaning residential floors and light commercial use — more wear rating than a house will spend.
Certifications
On the certification side, Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Brickstone Rustique Red Brick 2x18 itself, not from its name.
Measured, not guessed: #886F5C, mid and warm. The nearest color we hold pairings for is Terracotta / Clay. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.
Cabinets
- Natural / White Oak — clay tile + oak reads Mediterranean. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current
- Cream / Antique White — Cream cabinets give terracotta tile room to glow instead of shout — the pairing ages like a Marseille farmhouse, better every year the glaze crazes.. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes current
Countertop
- Concrete / Cement Gray — Concrete gray is the cold plunge terracotta needs — without it the clay goes theme-restaurant, with it the wall reads earthy and editorial.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current
Steer away from
- Oxblood Burgundy — Oxblood and terracotta are two proud reds a half-step apart — close enough to clash, far enough to look like a matching attempt that failed.

No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
