What kind of tile is Pearla 2x6x6mm Subway?
We stock Pearla 2x6x6mm Subway as glass, 2x6. It reads pearla. Glass is non-porous and colored right through, so grease wipes off and a chip does not expose a different color underneath. It belongs to the glass mosaics range. It comes as mesh-backed mosaic sheet, which sets faster than loose pieces.

Planning the wall
What Pearla 2x6x6mm Subway works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 2×6 | 120 | 8 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
At 2×6, Pearla 2x6x6mm Subway puts about 120 pieces on every 10 square feet of wall and about 8 feet of grout line on every square foot.
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.

Pearla 2x6x6mm Subway or Pearla Arabesque 8mm?
Pearla 2x6x6mm Subway and Pearla Arabesque 8mm are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, certifications, color listing and finish. What separates them:
- Pearla 2x6x6mm Subway is made in 2x6; Pearla Arabesque 8mm in Pattern.
- Measured off each swatch, Pearla 2x6x6mm Subway reads #D1CDC8 (light, essentially neutral) and Pearla Arabesque 8mm reads #E4E0D9 (very light, essentially neutral), so Pearla 2x6x6mm Subway sits darker than Pearla Arabesque 8mm on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
12 pieces per sheet
12 pieces come pre-mounted on each mesh sheet. Nobody sets a mosaic one piece at a time — the mesh is what holds the spacing true across a whole wall. It also means every cut lands on a sheet edge, so where the outlets fall is a layout decision, not an afterthought.
Certifications
This one carries Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. The Gold tier is the strict one — it is set against the air-quality limits used for classrooms. Useful on a LEED project; irrelevant on most kitchens, but it costs nothing to have.
