What kind of tile is Royal White?
We stock Royal White as quartzite, 6x18. It reads white-warm. Quartzite is recrystallized sandstone — natural stone hard enough to shrug off most kitchen acids. Philadelphia and Gray Oak sit in the same style family if you want to compare. It ships grout-free, so there is no joint to seal along the wall.

Sizes
Royal White is made in 2 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 Royal White works out to on your wall, from its own published sizes.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 6×18 | 13 | none — set without grout |
| 6×24 | 10 | none — set without grout |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
Same tile, very different walls: 6×18 is about 13 pieces per 10 square feet, 6×24 about 10.
6×18 · 6×24 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.
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.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Grout free
No grout lines by design. That removes the thing most people end up scrubbing, and it puts the burden on a flat substrate instead — which we verify before quoting, not after.
Piece-to-piece variation: MEDIUM
Graded medium, which is the easy end of this scale. Order it, set it, and it looks like the sample — no dry lay, no shuffling boxes.
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.
Questions about Royal White
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Royal White?
Royal White comes in 2 sizes: 6x18 · 6X24. 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.
What color is Royal White, really?
We measured its own swatch at #D2CAC4 — 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.
What is Royal White made of?
Royal White is a quartzite tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.
Does Royal White need sealing?
Yes. Seal it on installation and check it yearly. Quartzite resists scratching better than almost anything in this catalog, and it will still take up oil at the edge of a cooktop once the sealer has worn thin.
Does Royal White need grout?
No — it is designed to be set without grout lines. That installs faster and leaves nothing to discolor, but the substrate has to be genuinely flat. We check that before we quote, not after.
