What kind of tile is Sky?
We stock Sky as porcelain in a fluted shape, 7X16. It reads blue. Charcoal and Pearl sit in the same style family if you want to compare. Porcelain is the hard-wearing end of the fired-clay family: dense body, tight edges, and no sealing.
Sizes and finishes
How it is actually sold — measured off the spec sheet, not rounded.
Sizes
Sky is made in a single size, 7X16. That makes layout simple — what you see in the sample is the module you get across the whole wall.

Planning the wall
What Sky works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 7×16 | 13 | 2.5 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
One size, 7×16: roughly 13 pieces per 10 square feet, with 2.5 linear feet of joint per square foot.
7×16 is 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.

Sky or Charcoal?
Sky and Charcoal 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, Sky reads #BEC8C8 (light, essentially neutral) and Charcoal reads #7E7672 (mid, essentially neutral), so Sky sits lighter than Charcoal 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
The certification list: Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.
Questions about Sky
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Sky?
Sky comes in one size, 7X16. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.
Where can I use Sky?
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?
Sky 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 Sky, really?
We measured its own swatch at #BEC8C8 — light 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 Sky need sealing?
No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
