Shaw Halftone Esagona Gloss Hexagon Zellige-Look Porcelain Tile

Shaw Halftone Esagona (style 493TS) is a large, gloss-glazed porcelain hexagon accent tile measuring 9.45" x 10.91", with a variegated, handmade zellige-style finish in seven colors. Esagona, Italian for hexagon, is the biggest piece in the Halftone collection, so its honeycomb pattern feels bold and open rather than busy, with fewer grout lines than a small hex. It is also the only Halftone shape listed as frost resistant, which makes it the choice for outdoor accent walls as well as kitchens and baths.

Best for: large-scale backsplashes, bathroom feature walls, shower walls, fireplace faces and exterior accent walls.

Colors

• Cloud White 00100: an oversized white hex with soft tonal shifts for a bright honeycomb.
• Soft Mint 00300: a gentle mint green that keeps big hexagons light and fresh.
• Navy Sea 00400: a saturated blue whose gloss pools color across each large hex.
• Grey Vetiver 00500: a sage-leaning gray that blends with natural wood and stone.
• Pink Velvet 00800: a soft blush that makes the large hex feel playful but grown-up.
• Jewel 00801: a terracotta red that brings sunny, Mediterranean warmth.
• Black Storm 00900: a charcoal-black for dramatic, large-scale honeycomb walls.

Where to Install

Halftone Esagona is an accent tile, so use it on walls and decorative surfaces: kitchen backsplashes, bathroom and shower walls, fireplace surrounds and feature walls.

Is Halftone Esagona different from the other Halftone tiles? Halftone Esagona shares the gloss zellige-look glaze and colors of the collection but is a large hexagon, while the Halftone Rombo is a diamond for geometric patterns. Esagona is also the only frost-resistant Halftone shape.
