What kind of tile is Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile?
We stock Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile as ceramic, 12x24. It reads ice (white). We stock 3 formats of it — 12x24, 3x18 BullNose. Ceramic has been the default backsplash for a century because the glaze cleans up and the price does not scare anybody.

Sizes
Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile is made in 3 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 Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile 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 |
| 2×2 | 360 | 12 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
Same tile, very different walls: 2×2 is about 360 pieces per 10 square feet, 12×24 about 5.
12×24 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.

Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile or Gridscale Concrete Look Tile?
Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile and Gridscale Concrete Look 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 sizes. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile reads #C4BFB8 (light, essentially neutral) and Gridscale Concrete Look Tile reads #837D72 (mid, near-neutral), so Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile sits lighter than Gridscale Concrete Look Tile 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
Expect noticeable differences in shade and pattern from piece to piece. This is a feature, not a defect — but choose from several pieces rather than one sample, and let the installer dry-lay and shuffle boxes before setting.
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
Its certifications are Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. Gold means it was tested to the tighter emissions limits, not the baseline ones. That also makes it LEED-eligible where that matters.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile itself, not from its name.
Measured, not guessed: #C4BFB8, 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 a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out 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 Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile?
Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile comes in 3 sizes: 12x24 · 3x18 BullNose · 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 Gridscale Ice Ceramic 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?
Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile 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 Gridscale Ice Ceramic 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 Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile, really?
We measured its own swatch at #C4BFB8 — 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 Gridscale Ice Ceramic Tile need sealing?
No. A glazed ceramic face is already impervious. The tile needs no sealing — the grout between it is what wants attention.
