What kind of tile is Lablanca Ridge?
We stock Lablanca Ridge as porcelain in a fluted travertine shape, 24x48. It carries a PEI abrasion rating of 3. It reads white-cool. Porcelain is ceramic fired denser and harder, so it absorbs almost no water and holds a cut edge around an outlet.

Sizes
Lablanca Ridge is made in a single size, 24x48. That makes layout simple — what you see in the sample is the module you get across the whole wall.

Planning the wall
What Lablanca Ridge works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 24×48 | 1.3 | 0.8 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
At 24×48, Lablanca Ridge puts about 1.3 pieces on every 10 square feet of wall and about 0.8 feet of grout line on every square foot.
24×48 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.

Lablanca Ridge or Gray?
Lablanca Ridge and Gray are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, glaze type, PEI rating, shade-variation rating, certifications and color listing. What separates them:
- Lablanca Ridge is made in 24x48; Gray in 12x24, 24x24, 24x48, 2x2, 3x24 Bull Nose and 48x48.
- Measured off each swatch, Lablanca Ridge reads #D0CABF (light, near-neutral) and Gray reads #CDC7C6 (light, essentially neutral), so Lablanca Ridge sits about as light as Gray on the wall.
- Lablanca Ridge lists its collection as Cordova; Gray lists Brighton.
- Lablanca Ridge lists its style as Travertine,Fluted; Gray lists Marble,Marble.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Shade variation: V3 — moderate variation
Moderate variation is where a sample stops telling the whole story. Look at a few pieces, and insist the boxes get shuffled and dry-laid before anything is set.
Wear rating: PEI 3
Its abrasion class is PEI 3 of a possible 5, meaning walls, counters and normal residential floors — the usual rating for a kitchen.
Certifications
What it holds: Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

Questions about Lablanca Ridge
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Lablanca Ridge?
Lablanca Ridge comes in one size, 24x48. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.
Where can I use Lablanca Ridge?
Its maker rates it for flooring, and not for outdoors. 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?
Lablanca Ridge 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 Lablanca Ridge 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 Lablanca Ridge, really?
We measured its own swatch at #D0CABF — light and near-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 Lablanca Ridge need sealing?
No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
