What kind of tile is Greta Porcelain Tile?
We stock Greta Porcelain Tile as porcelain in a encaustic-pattern shape, 8x8. It reads blue. Porcelain is ceramic fired denser and harder, so it absorbs almost no water and holds a cut edge around an outlet. The store classes it as glazed.
Sizes and finishes

Sizes
Greta Porcelain Tile is made in a single size, 8x8. That makes layout simple — what you see in the sample is the module you get across the whole wall.

Planning the wall
What Greta Porcelain Tile works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 8×8 | 23 | 3 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
At 8×8, Greta Porcelain Tile puts about 23 pieces on every 10 square feet of wall and about 3 feet of grout line on every square foot.
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.

Greta Porcelain Tile or Elora Porcelain Tile?
Greta Porcelain Tile and Elora Porcelain Tile are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, style, glaze type, PEI rating, shade-variation rating, certifications and size. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Greta Porcelain Tile reads #CCC5C0 (light, essentially neutral) and Elora Porcelain Tile reads #DFE0DD (very light, essentially neutral), so Greta Porcelain Tile sits darker than Elora Porcelain Tile on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Shade variation: V2 — slight variation
Slight variation reads as depth rather than inconsistency. A single sample is still a fair guide.
Wear rating: PEI 3
Its abrasion class is PEI 3 of a possible 5, meaning everything a kitchen asks of it: walls, counters and residential floors.
Certifications
On the certification side, Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Greta Porcelain Tile itself, not from its name.
Measured, not guessed: #CCC5C0, light and essentially neutral. The nearest color we hold pairings for is Greige. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.
Cabinets
- Pure White — walls one step warmer than the cabinets so the white reads crisp. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out classic
Countertop
- White Veined (Marble-Look) — Greige keeps the veined white from feeling icy — the counter reads like linen instead of a showroom slab, and fingerprints vanish into the warmth.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
Hardware
- Warm Brass / Satin Gold — Brass pulls the hidden taupe out of greige, and as the lacquer softens over the years the pulls just look more collected, never tarnished.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
Flooring
- Natural / White Oak — Greige and natural oak share the same beige undertone, so the cabinets seem to grow out of the floor — a quiet trick that makes small kitchens feel seamless.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast solid

Questions about Greta Porcelain Tile
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Greta Porcelain Tile?
Greta Porcelain Tile comes in one size, 8x8. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.
Where can I use Greta Porcelain Tile?
Its maker rates it for flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.
Will the tiles match the sample I saw?
Greta Porcelain Tile is rated V2 — slight variation. Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone that most people stop noticing once it is grouted.
Can Greta Porcelain Tile go on a floor?
Yes. At PEI 3 it is rated for normal residential floors as well as walls and counters — the usual rating for a kitchen.
What color is Greta Porcelain Tile, really?
We measured its own swatch at #CCC5C0 — light and essentially neutral. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.
Does Greta Porcelain Tile need sealing?
No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
