What kind of tile is Midnight Montage?

We stock Midnight Montage as porcelain, 24x24. It reads black. Lunar Silver and Cream sit in the same style family if you want to compare. Porcelain is the hard-wearing end of the fired-clay family: dense body, tight edges, and no sealing.

Sizes and finishes

How it is actually sold — measured off the spec sheet, not rounded.

Sizes

Midnight Montage 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.

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.

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

Pieces will differ visibly. That is what makes the wall look like stone instead of wallpaper, but it means judging it from one tile will mislead you.

Wear rating: PEI 3

On the industry abrasion scale of 1 to 5, this one sits at 3 — walls, counters and normal residential floors — the usual rating for a kitchen.

Certifications

What it holds: Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

What to put next to it

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

Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #535449 — deep and near-neutral — which puts it nearest Charcoal in our pairing data. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

Hardware

Warm Brass / Satin Gold — gold jewelry on gray flannel. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out classic
Copper — Copper pulls against charcoal like embers in ash, and every fingerprint just speeds the living patina you were going to want anyway.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current
Matte Black (Metal) — tonal, hardware disappears into the mass. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials solid

Countertop

White Veined (Marble-Look) — inverted tuxedo — dark base, light top. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Island

Natural / White Oak — dark perimeter with a wood island keeps it livable. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current

Cabinets

Warm White / Ivory — A charcoal island anchored by warm white perimeter is the combination clients stop questioning after year five — it simply never dates because it never trended.. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Questions about Midnight Montage

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

What size is Midnight Montage?

Midnight Montage comes in 3 sizes: 24x24 · 24x48 · 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 Montage?

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 Montage 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 Montage 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 Midnight Montage, really?

We measured its own swatch at #535449 — deep 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 Midnight Montage need sealing?

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