Shaw Basanite Legacy 16x16 Slip-Resistant Travertine-Look Porcelain Tile

Basanite Legacy Slip-Resistant 508TS from Shaw is an Italian-made glazed porcelain tile measuring 15.75" x 15.75" (nominal 16x16) with a matte travertine-and-limestone look and a slip-resistant surface. It shares colors and dimensions with the standard 503TS square, but this is the surface version to pick when the floor will see rain, pool water, or wet boots. The square shape keeps patio and deck layouts simple, and random (V4) shade variation helps disguise tracked-in dirt and leaves between sweepings.

Best for: Pool decks, open and covered patios, porches, exterior entry landings, mudrooms, and garage-to-house entries.

Colors

• Ivory 00100: a light cream stone shade that brightens a shaded porch or covered patio.
• Grey 00500: a neutral limestone gray that pairs naturally with concrete, stucco, and gray pavers.
• Walnut 00600: a warm brown that echoes cedar decking, terracotta pots, and garden soil.

Why Choose Basanite Legacy Slip-Resistant 16x16

• Slip-resistant surface version made for wet exterior and transition areas
• Frost resistant, so it can stay outdoors through freeze-thaw winters
• Impervious porcelain with water absorption at or below 0.50%
• Break strength of at least 500 lbf for patio furniture and grills
• Nearly 3/8" (0.394") thick body
• Each box covers 13.78 sq ft

Where to Install

Use the 508TS on floors and walls, inside or out. Its natural home is outdoors: pool surrounds, patios, porches, and walkways, set over a properly prepared exterior base sloped so water drains away. Indoors, it is a practical choice for mudrooms and back entries where people come in wet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Basanite Legacy slip-resistant tile good for a pool deck? Yes. Shaw Basanite Legacy Slip-Resistant 508TS is frost resistant and has a slip-resistant surface, which makes it a sensible pool deck and wet patio tile when installed over a sloped, properly prepared exterior substrate.

Does slip-resistant tile feel rough underfoot? Basanite Legacy 508TS keeps a matte stone finish, but slip-resistant surfaces in general carry more texture than standard tile. Order a free sample of the Shaw 508TS to check the feel on bare feet before you buy.

What is the difference between Basanite Legacy 508TS and 503TS? Both are 15.75" x 15.75" Shaw Basanite Legacy tiles in Ivory, Grey, and Walnut. The 508TS is the slip-resistant version, while the standard 503TS has the regular matte surface that suits kitchens and living areas.

Can Basanite Legacy 508TS handle freezing winters? Shaw rates Basanite Legacy Slip-Resistant 508TS as frost resistant, so it can be used outdoors in freezing climates; good drainage and exterior-rated setting materials are still required.

How do I clean slip-resistant porcelain outdoors? Sweep Shaw Basanite Legacy 508TS often and wash it with a neutral pH tile cleaner and a stiff nylon brush. The porcelain itself needs no sealing, though sealing cement grout outdoors helps it resist staining.

Design Pairing Guide

Around a pool, Ivory pairs with white stucco walls and teak loungers, set with a sand-colored grout. Grey matches charcoal outdoor furniture, galvanized planters, and a mid-gray grout. Walnut looks at home next to cedar fencing, black metal railings, and a brown grout that hides soil.
