Sizes
Gray is made in 6 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 Gray works out to on your wall, from its own published sizes.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 12×24 | 5 | 1.5 ft |
| 24×24 | 2.5 | 1 ft |
| 24×48 | 1.3 | 0.8 ft |
| 48×48 | 0.6 | 0.5 ft |
| 2×2 | 360 | 12 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
The size you pick changes the wall more than the color does: 48×48 needs about 0.6 pieces per 10 square feet, 2×2 about 360.
12×24 · 24×24 · 24×48 · 48×48 are 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.
Where it works
The applications this surface is actually rated for.
Rated for flooring, all of it at commercial duty. That is the maker's call, and we hold to it.

Gray or Gold?
Gray and Gold are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, style, glaze type, PEI rating, shade-variation rating and sizes. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Gray reads #CDC7C6 (light, essentially neutral) and Gold reads #F9F4F0 (very light, essentially neutral), so Gray sits darker than Gold on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Shade variation: V3 — moderate variation
Pieces will differ visibly. That is what makes the wall look like stone instead of wallpaper, but it means judging it from one piece will mislead you.
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.

Questions about Gray
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Gray?
Gray comes in 6 sizes: 12x24 · 24x24 · 24x48 · 48x48 · 3x24 Bull Nose · 2x2. 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.
Where can I use Gray?
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?
Gray is rated V3 — moderate variation. Expect visible differences in shade and pattern between pieces. Choose from several, and have the installer dry-lay and shuffle boxes before setting.
Can Gray 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 Gray, really?
We measured its own swatch at #CDC7C6 — 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 Gray need sealing?
No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
