Product Details

Inspired by artisan cement tiles, our Twenties Petal 7-3/4 in. x 7-3/4 in. Ceramic Floor and Wall Tile captures the look of authentic encaustic tiles with a versatile ceramic body. This square tile features geometric patterns in snow white and ash grey tones that blend to create a floral design. Set on a charcoal black base glaze, the contrasting design features a weathered, speckled look, replicating the beauty of Spanish design and offering a unique blend of old-world style and modern appeal. This visually rich floor and wall tile can blend into virtually any design theme, ranging from contemporary projects to traditional installations. Its durable and frost-resistant features make this an ideal choice for indoor and outdoor installations including kitchens, bathrooms, backsplashes, showers, entryways, patios and fireplace facades. It is a perfect choice on its own or paired with other product in the Twenties Collection. Tile is the better choice for your space. This tile is made from natural ingredients, making it a healthy choice as it is free from allergens, VOCs, formaldehyde and PVC.

          Answer This Question

          A:  It should be enough. Whoever lays out the tile should be careful not to waste it, but you are working with a space of 77 square feet and the title will cover roughly 90-95 sf (8”x8”= 64 x 215 tiles= 13,760 square inches or 95 square feet 77 x 144= 11,088square inches)

          by|May 18, 2019

            A:  Hi! For a space that covers 77 square feet, you will need to purchase a minimum of 184 tiles as each piece covers 0.42 square foot. This does not account for the grout joints between each tile. To account for the recommended 10% overage for cutting, future repairs, dye lot and caliber consistency, we would recommend purchasing 203 sheets. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

              A:  I bought for accents so used for very small area. Love them. Recommend you use the home depot tile calculator to figure out how much tile you need.

                    It is so beautiful! It was easy to work with. I had it delivered and it was packaged very well. No tile was broken. I installed it on a landing between a split staircase. It is really stunning. Everyone who has seen it has been really complimentary of it. The price was extremely reasonable and the quality has exceeded my expectations.

                    The number 1 item I want to mention is that this is a thin tile, more appropriate for wall applications than for a floor. We used it on the kitchen floor but our contractor added a second layer of backer board as he was worried about it cracking. However, that being said, we absolutely love it. Very retro which is appropriate for us as we put it in a 1938 revival cottage that we renovated. Would totally buy it again

                    Hi! We are happy to hear you were satisfied with our Twenties Petal. For specifications such as the thickness of this tile, we want to clarify for you and future customers that you can find this detail listed under the “Product Overview” section. As your contractor assessed, with proper subfloor preparation our Twenties series tiles are perfectly suitable for floor installations. We appreciate your feedback!

                      Pretty... thin
                      Listed as a wall or floor tile. Installed on my kitchen floor. Contractor said to keep the spare tile -- he'd never seen floor tile so thin. Cracked within a month. Nothing dropped on it. Just regular walking and it cracked. Pretty expensive for garbage.

                        I could not be more happy with this affordable alternative to ceramic tile. Ceramic tile is gorgeous, but it is thick and difficult to install. This looks every bit as rich at half the cost! We used it in my sons bathroom and it is durable and easy to clean!

                          This tile worked great on our fireplace mantle and hearth. It took some time for our tile installer to balance the tile out, but when the job was done our vision was brought to life. Great product at a great price. We used the geometric pattern on the front and solid color on the bottom, pictures attached. No need to seal the tile like many of the decorative cement tiles require. I used the free delivery for store pickup and the tiles arrived quickly

                          Love this tile so much! I used it in my son's bathroom on the floor. It's such a great color combination. Veryone who sees it loves it! It has the same look as pricey cement tile but it's ceramic which is way less maintenance. I would definitely recommend this tile to anyone. I've used merola tile many times and love it!

                            Beautiful pattern, affordable and unique
                            We recently did a guest bathroom remodel and our client chose tile from your Merola Twenties line in Petal for their floor. Your product was packaged well arrived in perfect condition, cut well and installed great. We and our client couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. In a world of stone tile, your product allowed our project to have a playful character, while still looking high end and perform well to use from guests and family. We have since recommended this tile to two more clients and look forward to using it ourselves in our home. Thank you for providing a unique, high quality product at such an affordable price.
