Shaw Basanite Legacy 8x16 Slip-Resistant Travertine-Look Porcelain Tile

Shaw Basanite Legacy Slip-Resistant 513TS is a 7.87" x 15.75" (8x16) glazed porcelain tile with a matte travertine and limestone visual, a slip-resistant surface, and a glaze hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, made in Italy. This is the size to use when you want a patterned outdoor floor: the brick-like rectangle can wrap a patio in herringbone or basketweave while the slip-resistant surface handles rain and splash-out. It is also a smart pick for a mudroom or covered porch, where wet boots and grit test both traction and scratch resistance.

Best for: Herringbone patios, garden paths, covered porches, mudrooms, and exterior stair landings.

Colors

• Ivory 00100: a sun-washed cream that brightens shaded garden paths and porches.
• Grey 00500: a balanced gray that blends with bluestone, concrete, and gray siding.
• Walnut 00600: a warm brown that settles into a garden next to mulch, wood, and brick.

• Slip-resistant surface version for outdoor and wet areas
• Glaze hardness of 7 (Mohs) resists scratches from tracked-in grit

Where to Install

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I lay Basanite Legacy slip-resistant 8x16 in herringbone outside? Yes. Shaw Basanite Legacy 513TS has a 2:1 shape suited to herringbone and is frost resistant, so it can form a patterned patio or path in cold climates when set on an exterior-rated base.

How scratch resistant is Basanite Legacy 513TS? Shaw lists a glaze hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale for Basanite Legacy Slip-Resistant 8x16, which helps the surface stand up to sand and grit carried in from outdoors.

Is the 8x16 or 16x24 slip-resistant Basanite Legacy better for a patio? Shaw Basanite Legacy 8x16 slip-resistant suits patterned or curved patios and paths with many cuts, while the 16x24 slip-resistant (510TS) covers large open patios faster with fewer grout joints.

How do I keep grout clean on a tile patio? For Shaw Basanite Legacy 513TS outdoors, pick a darker grout such as mid-gray or brown, seal cement grout once it cures, and wash with a pH-neutral cleaner; the porcelain itself needs no sealer.

Design Pairing Guide

Ivory herringbone paths look good with boxwood hedges, white trim, and a buff grout. Grey pairs with bluestone steps, black metal furniture, and a charcoal grout. Walnut sits well against red brick, cedar raised beds, and a brown grout that hides garden soil.
