Shaw Tetra Designer Hex 2 Textured Hexagon Porcelain Accent Tile

Shaw Tetra Designer Hex 2 (style 703TS) is a glazed porcelain accent hexagon with a textured surface that measures 5.45" x 6.28" and comes in three neutral colors: Pearl, Linen and Carbon. It is the second of two designer hexagons in the Tetra line, offering an alternative decorative design to Designer Hex 1 while keeping the same size and textured finish. That shared size means Designer Hex 2 can pair with the plain Tetra hex as a border, a feature stripe or a full decorative wall.

Best for: feature stripes on bathroom walls, decorative backsplashes, accent bands above wainscot, niche backs and entry or hallway accent walls.

Colors

• Pearl 00100: a light, clean neutral that keeps the designer pattern airy.
• Linen 00101: a sandy off-white that warms up the design for traditional rooms.
• Carbon 00500: a deep gray that gives the textured hex a dramatic, modern edge.

Why Choose Tetra Designer Hex 2

• Alternate decorative design to Designer Hex 1, in the same 5.45" x 6.28" format
• Textured surface finish for visual and tactile depth
• Impervious glazed porcelain (≤ 0.50% water absorption)
• Pearl, Linen and Carbon coordinate with the solid-color Tetra hexagons
• Covers 5.49 sq ft per box, a manageable quantity for niches and bands

Where to Install

Use Tetra Designer Hex 2 as Shaw intends it, as an accent: bathroom feature stripes, backsplashes, shower niche backs, a wainscot cap band or a single statement wall in an entry. Shaw provides no frost rating for this tile, so treat it as an indoor product.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I use Tetra Designer Hex 2 in a bathroom? A common approach is to run Tetra Designer Hex 2 as a feature stripe or a niche back within a wall of solid Tetra hexagons in the same color. Because Designer Hex 2 is textured, a band at eye level shows the design without overwhelming a small room.

Does Tetra Designer Hex 2 match Designer Hex 1? Yes, in size, finish and color. Tetra Designer Hex 2 and Tetra Designer Hex 1 are both 5.45" x 6.28" textured porcelain hexes in Pearl, Linen and Carbon, so they can be combined; only the decorative design differs.

What grout should I use with Tetra Designer Hex 2 in Carbon? With Tetra Designer Hex 2 in Carbon, a charcoal grout makes the hexagons merge so the texture reads as one surface, while a light gray grout outlines each piece. Seal cement grout after it cures; the porcelain itself needs no sealer.

Where is Tetra Designer Hex 2 made? Shaw Tetra Designer Hex 2 is made in Spain, according to Shaw's specification data.

How much Tetra Designer Hex 2 do I need for a shower niche? Measure the niche back and sides in square feet and add 10–15% for cuts. One box of Tetra Designer Hex 2 covers 5.49 sq ft, which is more than a typical niche needs.
