What kind of tile is Mountain Bluestone?
We stock Mountain Bluestone as sandstone, 6x12x6. It reads blue. We stock 2 formats of it — 6x12x6, 6X24. Sandstone is porous natural stone that needs sealing before it goes anywhere near a range. A kitchen backsplash is only thirty to forty square feet, so the material barely moves a budget.

Sizes
Mountain Bluestone is made in 2 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 Mountain Bluestone works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 6×24 | 10 | none — set without grout |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
Mountain Bluestone is a 6×24 module, which works out to about 10 pieces for each 10 square feet you cover.
6×24 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.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Grout free
This one is designed to be set without grout lines. It installs faster and leaves nothing to discolor, but it also means the substrate has to be genuinely flat — we check that before we quote.
Piece-to-piece variation: Low
Graded low, which is the easy end of this scale. Order it, set it, and it looks like the sample — no dry lay, no shuffling boxes.
Certifications
On the certification side, Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. The Gold standard was written for schools, which is a stricter bar than a kitchen would ever have to clear. Worth a LEED credit too, on the jobs that track them.
