What kind of tile is Midnight Agate?

We stock Midnight Agate as porcelain, 12x24. It reads black. We stock 4 formats of it — 12x24, 24x48. 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 color body.

Sizes

Midnight Agate is made in 4 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.

Where it works

The applications this surface is actually rated for.

Its maker rates Midnight Agate for flooring — all of it at commercial duty.

Rated for

Flooring — residential and commercial

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 2

Its abrasion class is PEI 2 of a possible 5, meaning walls, and only the lightest traffic beyond that.

Certifications

Certified Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Midnight Agate itself, not from its name.

Read off its own swatch, Midnight Agate measures #2E3230: deep, essentially neutral. We match that to Espresso and build the pairings from there. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

Countertop

White Veined (Marble-Look) — the refresh move: white quartz instantly modernizes espresso boxes. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid
Warm Speckled Stone (Granite) — the 2008 set — honest but aging; modernize with slab tops instead. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes dated

Hardware

Brushed Nickel — safe metal on dark wood. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid

Steer away from

Navy — two heavy darks with clashing undertones — the room sinks

Questions about Midnight Agate

Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.

What size is Midnight Agate?

Midnight Agate comes in 4 sizes: 12x24 · 24x48 · 3x24 · 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 Midnight Agate?

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?

Midnight Agate 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 Midnight Agate go on a floor?

No. Midnight Agate carries a PEI 2 abrasion rating, which covers walls and very light foot traffic only. On a kitchen floor it will wear through its glaze.

What color is Midnight Agate, really?

We measured its own swatch at #2E3230 — deep 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 Midnight Agate need sealing?

No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
