Sizes
Piano Ceniza is made in a single size, 4.5X9. That makes layout simple — what you see in the sample is the module you get across the whole wall.

Planning the wall
What Piano Ceniza works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 4.5×9 | 36 | 4 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
At 4.5×9, Piano Ceniza puts about 36 pieces on every 10 square feet of wall and about 4 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.

Piano Ceniza or Piano Abedul?
Piano Ceniza and Piano Abedul are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, style, glaze type, shade-variation rating, certifications and size. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Piano Ceniza reads #858484 (mid, essentially neutral) and Piano Abedul reads #C8BAAC (light, warm), so Piano Ceniza sits darker than Piano Abedul 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.
Certifications
This one carries Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Piano Ceniza itself, not from its name.
Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #858484 — mid and essentially neutral — which puts it nearest Slate Blue in our pairing data. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.
Cabinets
- Warm White / Ivory — A slate-blue island in a warm-white kitchen is the safest color move in the book — enough character to anchor the room, never enough to scare a future buyer.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out classic
Flooring
- Ash Blond Wood — Pale straw-blond ash underfoot takes the chill off slate-blue cabinetry, landing the room Scandinavian-coastal instead of cold.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid
Questions about Piano Ceniza
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Piano Ceniza?
Piano Ceniza comes in one size, 4.5X9. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.
Where can I use Piano Ceniza?
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?
Piano Ceniza is rated V2 — slight variation. Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone that most people stop noticing once it is grouted.
What color is Piano Ceniza, really?
We measured its own swatch at #858484 — mid and essentially 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 Piano Ceniza need sealing?
No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
