Q: Can anyone suggest a gray unsanded grout for the Santa Monica Gray tile?
A: We suggest the Laticrete Permacolor Silver Shadow Grout, which can be used with small groutlines.A: I would suggest going to Lowes and getting a sample card with the different grout colors. Then you can see what it looks like with the tile. The tiles are very nice. I did a whole bathroom in them. -
Q: How many tiles come in one box?
A: There are 33 pieces/box. -
Q: Would this tile match Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter?
A: I would recommend ordering a sample of the tile so that you can hold it up to the paint and see if you like it :) -
Q: Is there a floor edging piece for this tile?
A: never have used on floor. Just walls. You could ask a sales rep at Tilebar. Make sure it can be used on floor. If so you could use a schluter strip on the edgeA: We used this tile and found a pencil trim in assorted colors. The name is "Jolly" ceramic trim. We found it at a local tile store but try googling it to locate it. Home Depot may be able to order it for you. It's relatively inexpensive.A: This is wall tile and would not be suitable to use on floor surface. If you mean edging for wall they didn’t offer a beveled piece when I ordered but that could have changed. -
Q: If anyone has a Sherwin Williams paint deck, could you tell me if this color is warmer gray like Useful Gray 7050 or Analytical Gray, right under it? Or cooler like Agreeable Grey?
A: Try BW Coventry Grey.A: I couldn't find a good SW match for it but it is almost perfect to Benjamin Moore 1600 Timber Wolf. It is more cool than it photographs.A: Try ordering the sample. It makes a huge difference and it's only $2.99 with shipping and handling.A: It is not a warm grey like useful gray or a neutral gray like agreeable gray. It is closer to color family of SW 7668 March Wind. It is a true gray without griege or blue tones. -
Q: Is there bullnose for this tile?
A: Please see our Santa Monica Gray bullnose here; https://www.tilebar.com/collection/trim-pieces.html?filtercollection=Santa+Monica&filtercolor=GrayA: I used a stainless metal trim piece and it looks great.A: Yes, but only for the top, not the side. It is also very expensive. Rather than using bullnose, we used silver tile edging trim and it turned out very nice.A: Yes. On the horizontal plane or the 12" side. -
Q: is this tile good for wet shower walls?
A: Yes, absolutely. -
Q: Does it come in one piece or individual tiles ?
A: Individual pieces -A: They are individual tilesA: They are 4x12 tile that come 33 per box.A: Individual tilesA: They are individual tiles!A: They are individual 4x12 tiles.A: Each tile is 4" x 12"!A: one pieceA: IndividualA: It comes in individual tiles.A: 33 individual 4x12 tiles per box. -
Q: can this be used for shower walls?
A: This tile is suitable for the following installation areas; Backsplash, Kitchen Wall, Wall Tile, Bathroom Wall, Shower WallA: Yes. It can be used as shower tile. We used it as an accent strip in our shower.A: Yes, it can be used for shower walls or backsplash. We liked it very much, great size, texture and look. -
Q: how much grout do i need?
A: depends on the sqA: If you're going to use one of our Bostik grouts, here is a tool to help you figure it out. https://www.bostik.com/us/tools-and-training/grout-calculator/. Barring that, your contractor/installer should be able to tell you once you've figured out all the specifications of your project. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us.

Bison Beach Bistro comes to life with The Tile Bar.
Riviera Blue Agate and Santa Monica Ivory and Gray share the stage in our kitchen, butlers pantry and laundry room. Each plays a stellar role!

Beautiful, simple and classic.
Beautiful, high quality tile. It's a versatile white that seems to coordinate well with everything. I used it for both the primary and guest bathrooms. In the primary shower it's paired with Nature Tumbled Pebble Lava Black and Azure Mist granite.

Tile was as described and worked perfectly for the kitchen
I had a shipping issue at the beginning, but was handled by their customer service department quickly and professionally. The tiles were packed extremely well. No tiles were broken or chipped.
Easy to handle and install. Very pleased with the outcome.
Again, the customer service was exceptional.
