Shaw Tetra 3D Hex Matte Colored Porcelain Accent Tile

Shaw Tetra 3D Hex (style 698TS) is a dimensional hexagon accent tile in glazed porcelain, measuring 5.45" x 6.28" with a matte, colored glaze. Where the flat Tetra 5x6 hex reads as a smooth field of color, this version adds a raised three-dimensional surface, so light and shadow shift across the wall as you walk past. It shares its footprint with the flat hex, which means the two can be planned together on one backsplash. Eight colors run from soft Pearl to deep Navy and Terracotta, and the porcelain body is frost resistant.

Best for: kitchen backsplashes, bathroom feature walls, the wall behind a vanity, fireplace surrounds, bar fronts and outdoor accent walls.

Colors

• Pearl 00100: a soft off-white that lets the 3D relief do the talking, with shadows giving it depth.
• Linen 00101: a warm, light neutral with a fabric-like softness that keeps a sculpted wall calm.
• Sage 00300: a pale green that turns a raised hex wall into a gentle, garden-inspired backdrop.
• Mint 00301: a fresher, brighter green that gives dimensional hexes a playful, retro lift.
• Ice 00400: a pale blue that looks crisp and cool where the faceted surface catches light.
• Navy 00401: a deep blue that makes the 3D pattern a bold, tailored statement wall.
• Carbon 00500: a dark gray that adds moody contrast while the relief keeps it from feeling flat.
• Terracotta 00600: an earthy, clay-toned shade that brings warmth to a sculptural accent.

Why Choose Tetra 3D Hex

• Three-dimensional hex surface adds texture and shadow play that flat tile cannot
• Matte glaze limits glare, so the relief stays visible under bright lighting
• Glazed porcelain with water absorption of 0.50% or less for splash zones
• Frost resistant, suitable for exterior accent walls in cold climates
• Eight colors, from quiet neutrals to saturated blues, greens and terracotta
• Same 5.45" x 6.28" size as the flat Tetra hex for coordinated layouts

Where to Install

Shaw classifies Tetra 3D Hex as an accent tile, so plan it for vertical feature areas and decorative installations rather than as a main floor. Good spots include kitchen and bar backsplashes, a wall behind a bathroom vanity or bed, a fireplace surround, a shower accent wall, and reception or retail feature walls. Because it is frost resistant, it can also go on exterior accent walls such as an outdoor kitchen backsplash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 3D hex tile? Shaw Tetra 3D Hex is a hexagon porcelain tile with a raised, sculpted surface rather than a flat face. The relief creates shadows and highlights, so a Tetra 3D Hex wall looks textured even in a single color.

Is Tetra 3D Hex hard to clean on a backsplash? Tetra 3D Hex has a matte glazed porcelain surface that wipes clean with a soft cloth and mild cleaner, and a soft brush helps reach the recessed areas of the relief. The porcelain needs no sealing, though sealing the grout is recommended.

Can I use Tetra 3D Hex outside? Yes. Shaw lists Tetra 3D Hex as frost resistant, so it can be used for exterior accent walls such as outdoor kitchen backsplashes when installed over a suitable exterior substrate.

What is the difference between Tetra 3D Hex and the flat Tetra hex? Both measure 5.45" x 6.28", but Tetra 3D Hex has a raised dimensional surface while the Tetra Hex 5x6 is flat. The flat version suits a smooth field of color, and the 3D version adds texture for a feature wall.

How much Tetra 3D Hex should I order? One box of Tetra 3D Hex covers 4.39 sq ft. Add 10–15% extra for cuts around outlets and edges, and note the store minimum order of 250 sq. ft.

Design Pairing Guide

Pearl and Linen sit well with white oak or natural maple cabinets, brushed nickel taps and warm white grout. Sage and Mint suit cream shaker cabinets, unlacquered brass and a soft white grout line. Ice works beside pale gray quartz and chrome. Navy pairs with white cabinetry and polished brass for a nautical contrast. Carbon looks sharp next to walnut and matte black fixtures with charcoal grout, and Terracotta warms up a kitchen with butcher block, cream walls and bronze hardware.
