It shares its color names and dimensions with the standard 675TS, so a patio laid in 679TS can meet an interior floor of the regular tile in the same color and module. That pairing is the point of this version: grip-focused tile where the ground gets wet, matching tile where it does not. The body absorbs 0.50% water or less, it is frost resistant, and high (V3) shade variation gives each square its own clay-like tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pool decks, open patios, exterior steps and landings, mudroom entries, laundry rooms and three-season porches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaupe 00200:\u003c\/strong\u003e a muted brown-gray that blends with natural flagstone, gravel paths and cedar fencing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcrete 00500:\u003c\/strong\u003e light gray with an understated cement character that looks crisp beside a pool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClay 00600:\u003c\/strong\u003e pale terracotta with a peachy cast, the closest match to traditional garden pavers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRust 00800:\u003c\/strong\u003e a saturated red-brown clay tone that echoes brick walls and Spanish tile roofs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharcoal 00900:\u003c\/strong\u003e a deep charcoal gray that hides leaves, soil and foot traffic between cleanings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Tempest Slip-Resistant 16x16\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlip-resistant edition of Tempest for exposed, wet-prone areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrost resistant for patios and steps in freezing climates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet DCOF of 0.42 or higher on Shaw spec data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpervious porcelain body (0.50% or less water absorption) that will not soak up rain or pool water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15.75\" square module lines up with the standard Tempest 16x16 for indoor-outdoor transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Italy; 13.78 sq ft per box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Install\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse Tempest Slip-Resistant 16x16 on floors and walls, inside or out.

Tempest Slip-Resistant 16x16 is the slip-resistant, frost-resistant version of the Tempest square, which makes it a strong candidate for pool surrounds; install it with proper slope so water drains away rather than pooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Tempest Slip-Resistant porcelain need to be sealed outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Tempest Slip-Resistant 16x16 tile itself needs no sealer because the porcelain absorbs 0.50% water or less.
