Sizes
Loft Gris 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.

Planning the wall
What Loft Gris works out to on your wall, from its own published sizes.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 12×24 | 5 | 1.5 ft |
| 3×18 | 27 | 4.7 ft |
| 2×2 | 360 | 12 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
The size you pick changes the wall more than the color does: 12×24 needs about 5 pieces per 10 square feet, 2×2 about 360.
12×24 · 3×18 are 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.
The spec sheet lists it as rectified: the edges are ground square after firing, which is what lets the joints run tight and straight.
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.

Loft Gris or Loft Glacier?
Loft Gris and Loft Glacier are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, style, glaze type, PEI rating, shade-variation rating, certifications, edge and sizes. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Loft Gris reads #A29E90 (mid-light, warm) and Loft Glacier reads #EFEAD8 (very light, warm), so Loft Gris sits darker than Loft Glacier on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Shade variation: V2 — slight variation
Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone between pieces. Most people never notice it once it is grouted.
Wear rating: PEI 3
Its abrasion class is PEI 3 of a possible 5, meaning everything a kitchen asks of it: walls, counters and residential floors.
Certifications
Its certifications are Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. Gold means it was tested to the tighter emissions limits, not the baseline ones. That also makes it LEED-eligible where that matters.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Loft Gris itself, not from its name.
Measured, not guessed: #A29E90, mid-light and warm. The nearest color we hold pairings for is Concrete / Cement Gray. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.
Cabinets
- Pure White — soft modern; keeps a small kitchen light without going all-white. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid
Backsplash
- Terracotta / Clay — Concrete gray is the cold plunge terracotta needs — without it the clay goes theme-restaurant, with it the wall reads earthy and editorial.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
Steer away from
- Light Gray — Flat gray on flat gray is the 2015 flip-house special — no undertone tension, so the whole room goes dishwater the moment the light drops.
Questions about Loft Gris
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Loft Gris?
Loft Gris comes in 3 sizes: 12x24 · 3x18 · 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 Loft Gris?
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?
Loft Gris is rated V2 — slight variation. Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone that most people stop noticing once it is grouted.
Can Loft Gris 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 Loft Gris, really?
We measured its own swatch at #A29E90 — mid-light and warm. 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 Loft Gris need sealing?
No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
