Shaw Kaleidoscope 8x8 Glossy Solid-Color Porcelain Tile

Shaw Kaleidoscope Square Flat 8x8 (style 573TS) is a 7.87" x 7.87" solid-color glazed porcelain tile with a glossy, handmade-look surface. Where the Square Design 8x8 carries printed patterns, the flat square delivers pure color in nine shades, and its simple shape makes it the easiest Kaleidoscope piece for checkerboards, stacked grids or a calm field around patterned tile. Random (V4) shade variation gives the gloss a hand-glazed depth, and the 8x8 size covers 11.19 sq ft per box, more than a box of the brick or hex. Italian production and a frost-resistant rating complete the specs.

Best for: Checkerboard backsplashes, shower walls, bathroom wainscots, kitchen accent walls and borders around patterned tile.
