Old-world European elegance radiates from the Merola Tile Evasion Azul Encaustic 17-5/8 in. x 17-5/8 in. Ceramic Floor and Wall Tile, imported from Spain.

The scored grout lines can be grouted with the color of your choice, or left ungrouted for a rugged finish. Use this tile in most interior settings, including kitchens, showers, backsplashes and entryways.

A: Good Afternoon,
The field tile that is paired with our Evasion Azul is the Evasion Hueso http://thd.co/2eow3JJ. The lighting on the computer generated image gives this tile a grey hue, whereas the actual tile is not as dark and is more reminiscent of an eggshell white or off-white and will match the color within the Evasion Azul. We encourage seeing these items prior to making a large purchase because design is a matter of personal preference. We offer samples that come adhered to 4.5” x 5” sample cards, offering a color and texture sample, not a look at the whole tile. To see the whole tile, we recommend ordering a case. Home Depot offers a 90-day return policy on all unused items returned in the full quantity that they are sold (for these, by the case). Please note that variation in color, shade and texture are inherent characteristics of glass, glazed tile and stone. The actual material received may vary from this sample. The pattern, shape, dye lot (color) and size of the actual tile received may vary. For more information about ordering samples, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

Q:Can these be used outside to tile the sides and front of a built in BBQ island. We live in AZ.

Answer This Question
A: Good Afternoon,
Typically, we do not recommend ceramic tile outdoors in climates that drop below freezing. Ceramic tile will absorb water, and will expand and contract in freezing temperatures, which could result in cracking. However, based on your installation being on a vertical surface, water will not be able to pool up underneath the tile, allowing you to install these in an outdoor setting. There should be no fear of cracking in the event of rare freezing temperatures you may experience. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

A: Good Afternoon,
We offer samples of this product adhered to 4.5” x 5” sample cards, which will give you a chance to see and feel the tile. These will not show you a full tile, so you will need to order a case if you wanted to see the full pattern. Home Depot offers a 90-day return policy on all unused items in the full quantity they were sold (i.e. a case). As a suggestion for the wall, there is the Evasion Hueso http://thd.co/2eow3JJ, a plain field tile in the Evasion series intended to coordinate with the light color in the design. We also offer samples of this tile as well. If you have any questions or want information about ordering samples, give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

This review is for the MEROLA TILE, "Evasion Asul Encaustic"
ceramic tile, Item # FPEEVAAZ.
Opening the box, the first impression of these tiles is that
they are absolutely beautiful! The geometric design displays
muted colors in light blue and two shades of gray under a
muted glazed finish and together they are amazing.
These are large tiles which measure exactly 17 5/8" square
and are a solid 3/8 " thick. These tiles are heavy and will
provide years and years of wear. On application, you are going
to cover a lot of floor or wall area in a hurry.
The tiles have this unusual smooth textured finish on them
and are designed to look used with that old world charm that
will set well in any interior setting. The back of each tile is
made with a roughened raised pattern to provide adhesive grip
to ensure a solid and permanent placement.
These tiles will be laid in an un-grouted layment atop a heavy
wooden table which gives them an old school "been here a 100
years look". These are a very well made tiles and attention to detail
and quality of materials is evident, my wife and I absolutely love
them. Merola has always made high quality tiles and this tile is
no exception, a superb product I highly recommend.
Easy to install and looks really nice against white cabinets and quartz.

Hi Lupe,
We’re glad to hear that our Evasion Azul worked out for your installation, your kitchen backsplash looks fantastic! The muted tones of this tile add enough pop to the room to make its presence known, but it’s not overpowering like some tile can be. Our goal is to provide only the best for our customers, and we’re so happy this worked out for you. Thank you for the feedback!

Looks Pixelated
Beautiful design and love grey/soft blue colors, BUT I agree with another review, it looks pixelated. The "white" areas is more biege. It seemed each time i looked at it, the dirtier it kept looking. I think if the pixelation doesnt bother you then its defintely a keeper. We returned it...

Nice colors but looks cheap
I was looking for an encaustic cement look. The colors and pattern on this are great but the printing is not well done. The pixels are noticeable and large and do not look good. I returned this product.
