                      Q:Almost all the sheet we got have chipped edges on the mosaic. Would this impact its water or chemical resistant feature? Anyone installed with chipped edges on the Hexagon? Is it noticeable? I plan to use dark gray grout.

                      A:  We ordered for both of bathrooms in 2 separate shipments. The second shipment had better tile than the first but I don't notice any of the chipping once installed. We used a light grout.

                        A:  Thank you for your interest in MSI product. Depending on the extent of the cracks it may effect the tile. If you did receive the tiles damaged please reach out to your local Home Depot and they can assist you in getting them replaced. If you are happy with the items and want to install them still grouting and sealing the tile should help with keeping a waterproof seal. Good luck with your project!

                              A:  We used Daltile subway tile, and matched it with this flooring, which turned out nice. The Daltile brand is also available at HomeDepot. Check the color shades for your preference, as daltile has some versions which are off-whites as opposed to a bright white. We liked the slightly off-white version better.
