Product Details

It is easy to picture sun-drenched streets of Spain when looking at the Merola Tile Faenza Azul Encaustic 13 in. x 13 in. Ceramic Floor and Wall Tile. Save time and labor spent arranging smaller square tiles and instead install these durable ceramic slabs, which have nine squares separated by scored grout lines. This breathtaking blue glaze features a collection of encaustic-inspired designs. Imitations of the scuffs and spots that are the marks of well-loved, worn, century-old tile and the rich red tones peeking through are the perfect contrast to the faded shades of denim blue. These rustic scuffs and spots convince that this tile is truly aged. There are 3 different variations of scuffs and pattern arrangements available that are randomly scattered throughout each case, offering a sporadic patchwork look. Designed by interior architect and furniture designer Francisco Segarra, this tile is a true reflection of vintage industrial design. The scored grout lines can be grouted with the color of your choice or left ungrouted for a rugged finish. Bring rustic charm to your interior with this easy-to-maintain look.

Q:Is there a white SUBWAY tile appropriate for shower wall AND that matches Faenza Azul encaustic? Thank you! I. Conde
by|May 22, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hello! Thank you for your question! We do not have a white subway in this series so it would not be a perfect match. Please take a look at the white subway tiles we do carry: https://somertile.com/SearchByKeyword?word=white%20subway. We always recommend ordering samples first so you can get an idea of the shading and texture of the tile.

    Answer This Question

    A:  I ordered the sample size to see if I liked them before I purchased. They came in a row of three. When I purchased the tiles, they came in the 9 window shown above. I did have to cut several to fit my backsplash and they were very easy to trim. I thought it would be more difficult to alter them but it was not

          Q:Cal the 9 squares be separated?
          by|Feb 8, 2021
          4 Answers
          Answer This Question

          A:  They are all one piece with scored “grout lines”. So you can not separate the 9 squares unless you cut them with a tile cutter. But just like any other tile you just cut them how you need to make them fit your job

          by|Feb 10, 2021

            A:  Hi! Yes, our Faenza Azul can be cut to suit any installation preferences. We recommend using a wet saw with a diamond tipped blade as it offers the best cut with the least chance of breakage. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

              A:  With a wet saw, yes, but they don't snap apart.

                A:  It appears to be 9 small tiles but it is actually one large tile, so no they do not separate. You could easily score them with a tile saw if you wanted though.

                  I made the right buy
                  I agonized over tile choice for months prior to my bathroom remodel. I only needed 3 walls in my walk in shower tiled. My bath is light grey walls and white trim. In order to add more to the austerity, I wanted a tile pattern that’s not boring but not going to feel dated later. Faenza Nero I use it for the wall with a large window (using black pencil tiles round the frame; grayish white textured 12x24 tiles for two other walls). No water spot or soap scum on these tiles.

                    High quality and good design
                    I can't speak to the durability yet, but the tiles feel and cut good. It's a heavier ceramic. Installation requires thought. I would suggest laying it out before mixing your mortar to ensure you don't have any adjacent repeating patterns.

                      LOVE IT!
                      I have been wanting this tile for along time and finally did a refresh of my bathroom. I replaced plain white tiles with this and a new blue vanity. It is exactly what I wanted. This was in a small master bath. It was quite a challenge to lay out the tiles so you didn't have repeating patterns and it was impossible to have no repeats but my contractor did a really good job. He used a medium gray grout which complements the tile color. I love the worn edges and imperfections of the pattern. I couldn't be happier!

                        I love these tiles and am very pleased with the quality of them. I laid them on the floor outside as you enter my front door, used them as my kitchen backsplash then as the floor tiles in my bathroom. They work beautifully in each location. They were easy to use.

                        Everything about these tiles were great: - Had it shipped to my house as the case is heavy to handle. They delivered on time and none were broken. - Over ordered 1 case, but return was easy. - First timer doing anything tile related, but the cutting was easy. I really liked how the 1 tile was divided into 9 squares - it made cutting and laying out much easier. I was able to lay all the tile for the backsplash and fireplace surround in one weekend. - The grout was the only thing that I found difficult, but that was because I got sanded grout. Should have used unsanded because the space between the tiles is small. - Just overall a great look and I get compliments all the time. Highly recommend

                            A beautiful rustic floor and wall tile set. Dimensions are 13" x 13" per slab piece. 10 pieces in each box. I currently placed this ceramic tile in our kitchen lower sink area. It keeps the bottom of the sink area easy to clean with a rustic look. We really enjoy the ease of install and how much each slab covers. The convenience of each slab has a consistency of 9 square grout tiles. Certainly a time saver having to deal with a tile at a time instead this pack really is a quick setter. I'm a major fan and like the white tile and a red grout worn out looking tile. I used a thinset mortar, hardiebacker and used a 6" X2" trowel and worked out perfectly.
