Shaw Pacific Ridge 18x18 Limestone-Look Matte Porcelain Tile

Shaw Pacific Ridge 18x18 (Shaw style 553TS) is a glazed porcelain floor tile in a matte limestone and concrete look, measuring 17.64" x 17.64", nominal 18" x 18". It is the middle square of the family: big enough to cut grout lines noticeably compared with the 13x13, yet it does not demand the substrate prep of the 32x32. It also packs the most coverage per box of any Pacific Ridge size, at 17.44 sq ft. The tile is 0.315" thick, frost resistant, and comes in three neutral stone tones.

Best for: Kitchens, family rooms, basements, sunrooms, and patios.

Colors

• Sand 00120: a beige limestone tone that blends with oak and maple cabinetry.
• White 00150: a light stone white that brightens a basement or windowless room.
• Grey 00500: a cool, concrete-like gray that suits an industrial or modern kitchen.

Why Choose Pacific Ridge 18x18

• Mid-size 17.64" square: fewer joints than 13x13, simpler prep than 32x32
• 17.44 sq ft per box, the most of any Pacific Ridge size
• Matte face with a 0.42-or-higher wet CoF
• Frost resistant for sunrooms and patios
• Moderate (V2) shade variation, so tones shift gently tile to tile

Where to Install

Pacific Ridge 18x18 is floor rated for floors and walls, and it is at home in kitchens, family rooms, basements and sunrooms. Because it is frost resistant, it can run onto an exterior patio or porch in freezing climates.

Frequently Asked Questions
