What kind of tile is Golden Honey?
We stock Golden Honey as quartzite, 6x12x6. It reads gold. Quartzite is recrystallized sandstone — natural stone hard enough to shrug off most kitchen acids. It belongs to the rockmount stacked stone panels range. We stock 2 formats of it — 6x12x6, 6X24.

Sizes
Golden Honey is made in 2 sizes. Size is the decision people skip and then notice every day: it sets how much grout line ends up in the field, and a larger module on the same wall reads calmer than a small one.

Planning the wall
What Golden Honey works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 6×24 | 10 | none — set without grout |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
At 6×24, Golden Honey puts about 10 pieces on every 10 square feet of wall.
6×24 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.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Grout free
It sets without grout. Faster to install and nothing to discolor later, provided the wall behind it is truly flat; that is a pre-quote check on our side.
Piece-to-piece variation: High
Piece to piece, the grading is high. Plan for it rather than hope against it: order the whole job in one run, buy the overage now, and dry-lay before anything is set.
Certifications
On the certification side, Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. The Gold standard was written for schools, which is a stricter bar than a kitchen would ever have to clear. Worth a LEED credit too, on the jobs that track them.

Questions about Golden Honey
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Golden Honey?
Golden Honey comes in 2 sizes: 6x12x6 · 6X24. Pick the size before the color. It decides how much grout line ends up in the field, and on the same wall a larger module reads calmer than a small one.
What is Golden Honey made of?
Golden Honey is a quartzite tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.
Does Golden Honey need sealing?
Yes. Seal it on installation and check it yearly. Quartzite resists scratching better than almost anything in this catalog, and it will still take up oil at the edge of a cooktop once the sealer has worn thin.
Does Golden Honey need grout?
No — it is designed to be set without grout lines. That installs faster and leaves nothing to discolor, but the substrate has to be genuinely flat. We check that before we quote, not after.
