Shaw Tempest 16x24 Terracotta & Concrete-Look Porcelain Tile

Shaw Tempest 16x24 (style 676TS) is a rectangular glazed porcelain tile, 23.94" x 15.75", styled after clay pavers and concrete. It is the largest regular piece in the Tempest family, so it lays down the fewest grout joints per square foot and gives open-plan kitchens and living areas a broad, slab-like rhythm. The rectangle also opens up layouts the squares cannot: a stacked grid, a one-third offset, or a multi-size pattern combined with the 8x8, 8x16 and 16x16. Every piece carries high (V3) shade variation and a smooth surface, and the series is frost resistant.

Best for: Open-concept kitchens and living rooms, large entry halls, great rooms, covered patios and outdoor dining areas.

Colors

• Taupe 00200: a balanced gray-brown that keeps a large floor neutral without looking cold.
• Concrete 00500: a light gray that, at this size, comes closest to the look of a continuous cement slab.
• Clay 00600: a gentle peach-terracotta that warms a big room flooded with daylight.
• Rust 00800: a rich red clay shade that makes a bold statement across a wide floor.
• Charcoal 00900: a dark, industrial gray suited to lofts and modern open plans.

Why Choose Tempest 16x24

• Largest Tempest format (23.94" x 15.75") for the fewest grout lines
• High (V3) shade variation keeps big expanses from looking repetitive
• 0.394" thick glazed porcelain with impervious water absorption
• Wet DCOF of 0.42 or higher
• Frost resistant for matching interior and patio floors
• 10.44 sq ft per box

Where to Install

Tempest 16x24 is rated for floors and walls. Its size suits large interior floors where you want a calm, open look, and it can clad a fireplace or shower wall with fewer joints. Thanks to its frost rating it can extend onto patios and outdoor dining areas; for exposed surfaces that stay wet, the slip-resistant 16x24 is the better outdoor choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What offset should I use for Tempest 16x24? Because Tempest 16x24 has a long side of nearly 24", keep any running-bond offset to no more than 33% of the tile length to limit lippage, or lay it in a straight stack for a modern grid.

Is Tempest 16x24 too large for a small bathroom? Not necessarily. Tempest 16x24 can make a small bath feel bigger with fewer grout lines, but the floor must be flat, and a sloped shower pan is better served by the Tempest 8x8.

Can I mix Tempest sizes in one floor? Yes. Tempest 16x24 shares its 15.75" width with the 16x16 and its high-variation palette with every size, so the formats can be combined in a multi-size pattern; dry-lay the pattern first to confirm the joints line up.

How many square feet are in a box of Tempest 16x24? A box of Shaw Tempest 16x24 covers 10.44 sq ft. Add 10-15% overage for cuts, and note the store minimum order of 250 sq. ft.

Which Tempest 16x24 color looks most like concrete? Concrete 00500 is the closest to a poured cement floor in Tempest 16x24, and Charcoal gives a darker, industrial take; Clay and Rust lean toward terracotta.

Design Pairing Guide

In open plans, Taupe pairs with walnut furniture, linen sofas and oil-rubbed bronze lighting. Concrete works with flat white cabinets, black window frames and a light gray grout to emphasize the slab effect. Clay goes with ochre and olive textiles, rattan and brushed brass. Rust stands up to dark green walls, leather and cream grout. Charcoal suits white oak millwork, matte black fixtures and charcoal grout for an almost seamless field.
