| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |

One size, 3×12: roughly 40 pieces per 10 square feet, with 5 linear feet of joint per 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.

Renzo Storm 3x12 Wall Tile or Renzo Storm 3x12 Bullnose Tile?
Renzo Storm 3x12 Wall Tile and Renzo Storm 3x12 Bullnose Tile are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, certifications, color listing, size and finish. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Renzo Storm 3x12 Wall Tile reads #9B9B97 (mid-light, essentially neutral) and Renzo Storm 3x12 Bullnose Tile reads #7B7B7E (mid, essentially neutral), so Renzo Storm 3x12 Wall Tile sits lighter than Renzo Storm 3x12 Bullnose Tile on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Piece-to-piece variation: High
The maker grades variation between pieces as high. Look at more than one piece before you commit — a single piece will not represent the wall.
Certifications
The certification list: Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Renzo Storm 3x12 Wall Tile itself, not from its name.
Read off its own swatch, Renzo Storm 3x12 Wall Tile measures #9B9B97: mid-light, essentially neutral. We match that to Concrete / Cement Gray and build the pairings from there. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow 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.
