Shaw Trace 12x24 Polished Concrete-Look Porcelain Tile

Style 319TS, Shaw Trace Polished 12x24, is a glazed porcelain tile that pairs a concrete and stone look with a high-shine polished face, measuring 11.81" x 23.62" (nominal 12" x 24"). The polish turns a normally rugged industrial visual into something more refined, bouncing daylight across the room and giving the gray and cream cement tones a soft glow. Compared with the matte 12x24, it is the dressier option for living areas, offices and wall installations, and its rectangular format is easier to set on vertical surfaces than the larger polished 24x24.

Best for: Living rooms, home offices, dining areas, bathroom walls, shower surrounds, foyers and fireplace surrounds.

Colors

• Pearl 00150: pale gray with a polished sheen that brightens north-facing rooms.
• Creme 00200: a cream base that looks like burnished plaster once it is polished.
• Gunmetal 00500: deep gray with a glossy face that reflects pendant lights like a lacquered surface.

Why Choose Trace Polished 12x24

• Polished finish that reflects light and makes rooms feel larger
• Shaw-listed wet DCOF of 0.42 or higher
• Rated frost resistant for exterior walls and covered areas
• 0.394" thick porcelain with a break strength of 292 lbf or greater
• Water absorption of 0.50% or less, so spills stay on the surface
• Moderate (V2) shading that keeps a polished floor from looking flat

Where to Install

Use Trace Polished 12x24 on floors and walls throughout the house: living and dining rooms, foyers, powder rooms, bathroom walls and fireplace surrounds. Polished tile shows water more than matte, so a rug at sinks and exterior doors is a smart addition. Its frost rating also allows exterior use, where it performs best on vertical surfaces or covered areas that do not collect standing water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is polished Trace tile slippery? Shaw Trace Polished 12x24 carries a wet DCOF of 0.42 or higher per Shaw's spec, but any polished surface feels slicker than matte when wet. For shower floors and exterior steps, a matte or textured tile is the safer pick.

How do you clean polished concrete-look tile? Clean Shaw Trace Polished 12x24 with a pH-neutral tile cleaner and a microfiber mop, then dry-buff to avoid streaks. Avoid oil soaps and waxes, which leave a film on polished porcelain.

Can I use Trace Polished on a bathroom wall? Yes. Shaw Trace Polished 12x24 is a floor-rated porcelain that also installs on walls, and its water absorption of 0.50% or less suits shower surrounds and tub walls.

Is Trace Polished 12x24 or 24x24 better? Shaw Trace Polished 12x24 (319TS) is easier to handle and fits running-bond and vertical stack patterns, while the Trace Polished 24x24 (321TS) covers floors with fewer grout lines for a smoother, more continuous shine.

What trim goes with Trace Polished 12x24? Finish exposed edges of Shaw Trace Polished 12x24 with the matching Trace Bullnose Polished (323TS), which comes in Pearl, Cream and Gunmetal.

Design Pairing Guide

Set Pearl beside high-gloss white lacquer cabinets and polished chrome for a clean, gallery-like room. Creme suits warm greige walls, champagne bronze fixtures and cream boucle furniture, with an almond grout. Gunmetal looks bold with white quartz, matte black faucets and smoked glass, and a dark gray grout lets the reflections stay the focus.
