Lantern 12-1/2 in. x 12-1/2 in. x 5 mm White Porcelain Mesh-Mounted Mosaic Tile (11 sq. ft. /case)-DISCONTINUED

Hi Becky, Each mosaic piece measures 3.25 in. long x 2.875 in. wide. If you are interested in finding this information for other products, it can be found under the Specifications tab, called Mosaic Sub Unit Width and Length. Hope that helps!

Good morning! This item you are looking at (Model # FKOLB10) is the glossy white version. Please disregard the other answer. We offer this product in matte white as well. Thanks!

Thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot. Unfortunately, we do not stock this item in glossy white. However, we do offer the Merola Tile Lantern Mini Glossy White 10-3/4 in. x 11-1/4 in.

Hi Jenny, Firstly, a contrasting vanity in black with this tile would probably look great! If you look under product reviews, there are lots of great customer photos showing this tile installed. Secondly, break strength is a bit of a misleading technical spec. It doesn't mean that any weight on top of an installed tile is its total weight limit. The break strength test for tile is conducted with weights on a piece of unsupported tile- one piece by itself, with no backing or flooring underneath it. Once you install the tile on a floor, you would factor in the substrate material's strength (i.e. cement board over concrete), plus the tile itself. So no need to worry about that 250 lb. specification- this tile is very durable and that test is not conducted in the same atmosphere as an installed tile. Claw-foot tubs, refrigerators, and washer/dryers are just some of the items that people have successfully installed in rooms with this as the floor tile. We know material specs can be a bit confusing and that you want accurate information to help you make the best decision for your project. We hope this was helpful!

I would not use these tiles for flooring. They're very thin.

We just installed this tile as a kitchen backsplash, but we have 1970s "lantern" tile (obviously, not from HD) that's been on two bathroom floors for 40+ years w/o problems. It should be fine as a bathroom floor. I wouldn't use in a shower floor, though, due to the concern about slipping on a wet floor.

Good morning, If you’re going for an all white backsplash, Custom Building Products’ #381 Bright White should do the trick, and we recommend unsanded grout for this product. This tile has a 1/8” grout line. Hope that helps!

Hi Birdie, recommending a grout color is more of a personal preference. Take a look at the surrounding area of where the tile will be installed. Grab a color that will be compatible with the mosaic tile. The manufacture said to use un-sanded grout with this mosaic tile.

Good morning, For mosaic tile installation, most people would use a 3/16” trowel. However, we recommend contacting the manufacturer of the setting material for more information. Hope that helps!

Hi Betsy, For best results, we recommend a wet tile saw to cut these porcelain mosaic tiles. You'll get cleaner cuts and fewer chips this way. You may find that the snap-cut tile cutter works, but I would suggest testing it out on a few tile pieces before you begin a large project. Hope that helps!

Hi Marcia, I don't have any exact paint recommendations for you, but many Home Depots are able to color-match paint. Could you bring a piece of the tile to your local store and have them match the paint to your tile sample? Hope that helps!

Home Depot and Lowes have bath/kitchen paint in a bright white that matches this tile perfectly.

I used it as a kitchen backsplash but I think it would be great for a shower surround! There's also the smaller size lantern option. I chose the larger size mainly because of the color. The smaller lanterns are very white, these are more of an off white color.

Hi Tracey, This product would be perfect for shower wall usage. It's porcelain, which means it's durable and doesn't absorb water. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for shower floor usage, as it may get a bit slippery, but that's up to you. If you happen to want something with higher slip resistance, I've linked our same tile in a matte finish below. Hope that helps!

Tracey, It certainly would! Just be sure that before you use the shower, that your grout is properly sealed. Allow at least 72 hours for your grout to cure before applying the sealer, which takes about 2-3 hours to set in.

yes it would be beautiful

Yes, it's non porous and rated for water. Beautiful for a bathroom, look on houzz.com for examples. Also called quatrefoil, arabesque or Moroccan tile.
