Sizes and finishes

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

Sizes

Oxide Blanc 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.

Oxide Blanc carries a rating for flooring, at 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: V4 — substantial variation

This is the dramatic end of the scale: two pieces from the same box can look unrelated. Order it all at once, from one run, with the overage included, and dry-lay the wall before a single tile is set.

Wear rating: PEI 3

Its abrasion class is PEI 3 of a possible 5, meaning walls, counters and normal residential floors — the usual rating for a kitchen.

Certifications

It has been tested and certified Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. The Gold tier holds a material to lower emission limits than the base certification does — a real gap, not a badge. A LEED project can claim it; most kitchens never will.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Oxide Blanc itself, not from its name.

We measured this tile's own swatch at #9C9980 — mid-light and near-neutral. The closest color we hold pairing data for is Warm Speckled Stone (Granite), so that is what the recommendations below are built from. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

Cabinets

Olive Drab Green — Olive cabinets and warm stone share the same earthen yellow base, so the kitchen reads as one grown thing rather than parts from a catalog.. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials current
Dusty Blue — Warm stone keeps dusty-blue cabinets from tipping nursery — the sandy flecks pull the blue toward coastal-grownup, and the busy surface hides crumbs between wipe-downs.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
Warm White / Ivory — traditional comfort; undertones agree. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid
Espresso — the 2008 set — honest but aging; modernize with slab tops instead. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element dated

Questions about Oxide Blanc

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

What size is Oxide Blanc?

Oxide Blanc comes in 4 sizes: 12x24 · 24x48 · 3x18 BullNose · 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 Oxide Blanc?

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?

Oxide Blanc is rated V4 — substantial variation, by design. Two pieces side by side can look like different products. Order from one production run, buy the overage up front, and insist on a dry lay. This is the rating that generates complaints when nobody was told.

Can Oxide Blanc 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 Oxide Blanc, really?

We measured its own swatch at #9C9980 — mid-light 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 Oxide Blanc need sealing?

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