Its unique shape creates a more natural room look, with a grout line that blends seamlessly. This tile resembles natural stone with shades of beige, taupe, brown, terra cotta and gray that varies throughout and between pieces.

                    Loving my new shower
                    Love the colors and look of this tile. Only drawback is the vertical seam from the pieces being exactly alike, wish they were more staggered but they only fit together one way. It still looks amazing! I want to thank the guy in the comments that recommended the grout color to match exactly (2 part haystack, 1 part natural grey).

                      Beautiful Stone Tile
                      I saw this tile in my inspo kitchen picture on the Houzz app. We haven’t finished that yet, but in the meantime, we decided to use the same tile behind our wood-burning stove in the LR. We just finished this small job and absolutely love the way it looks. Our guy laid it out on the floor first like a puzzle and cut all the pieces to fit. We had a bit of trouble finding the right grout like everyone has said but in the end we found that Haystack was the best color match.

                        The tile is beautiful and laid nicely and not slippery in the shower feels good on the feet. Love it. It’s expensive but worth it. It’s on the wall and floor.

                        European Charm - Gorgeous!
                        I wanted a stone feature wall for my butler’s pantry and found this tile which was perfect! I installed it myself and it was a huge challenge and wouldn’t necessarily recommend that to a novice DIYer. Very complicated to cut and arrange. I used Mussel Bound tiling mat to adhere to wall and it worked wonderfully. My stone wall adds just the right element of hunt country old-world charm I was craving. Highly recommend!

                          Proper grout color important. Beautiful results!
                          Love it! A couple tricks: Space as close together as you can to hide that irregular seam. Grout color that matches perfectly: Permacolor Grout, Marble Beige #2517. As suggest by someone else I then took a pencil and lightly, irregularly, scraped on the grout line, helps hide the line. I put 2 coats of "511 Seal & Enhance" to put a little shine and finish on it. This looks beautiful in our new Kitchen.

                            Excellent very beautiful
                            The only thing is the tiles capture moisture and looks wet when the humidity is high. I’m in Houston, Texas! So I wanted to ask if there’s a solution to avoid this issue. Thanks!

                              Absolutely beautiful backsplash!!
                              This tile is beautiful and looks like real stone. Perfect for our kitchen remodel! Only issue was matching the grout because we didn’t want obvious grout lines. We ended up with Fusion Pro in the color Bone. It looked good (first pic) but you definitely could see the grout lines. My husband suggested using pencil to lightly go over the grout because there’s some gray in the tile background. It worked perfectly (second pic). No more grout lines!! So happy with the end result!!
