Beautiful Sturdy tile
Even though the pallet it came on was smashed, we didn't have a single broken tile in the bunch. It's a beautiful tile and adds a splash of color and interest to my bathroom.

    Happy with tile. Had professional install.
    This turned out to be beautiful in my bath remodel. First, it is not really blue, more of a green with blue undertone. But I love the color. What I didn’t like was the “brick” color grout. These tiles come 4 8X8ish squares attached to one another. When I ordered a sample, I only received an 8X8 square, so was very confused when my full order came in. I read the reviews that said people cut them apart, then installed. But my tile guy wouldn’t’ do that because he was afraid it would cut into the pattern, then wouldn’t match up. I couldn’t live with that grout color, so I painted white in grooves before install. Then used white grout and was very happy.

    Hi! Thank you for sharing your impressions with us. The reddish edges of the scored grout lines can be grouted over with any color of your choice, and once installed the grout will completely cover the natural orange-red body of the tile. If you do wish to maintain the natural look of the tile body, we recommend using Custom Building Products #50 Nutmeg. It is important to note that grout color is a personal choice and can greatly impact the overall look of an installation. As for the sizing, a sample of our Berkeley Blue is a 1/4 piece cut from the full sized product. We apologize for the confusion and we appreciate your feedback!

      Great looking floor tile. Made the area really pop! Keep in mind that this is a 17x17 tile but with the look of 4 tiles in one. There's a ceramic tile grout line that runs through it. I used pecan grout and it matched perfectly.

      My wife loves this Merola tile Berkley Black. She put it on just one of the side walls in the guest bathroom and it looks amazing. It was easy to install after watching a few videos. It came packaged very well. I thought at least one piece would be broken, but not even a scratch on one piece, I was Impressed. The detail one the tiles is amazing, looks hand painted and not factory printed.

      This is an incredibly heavy, quality, and vibrantly colored ceramic floor tile. The pattern is hypnotizing if you stare into it long enough but it's gorgeous. Ceramic tiles aren't the most durable but this one feels very solid. They are HEAVY but feel well made to the touch. I didn't notice any irregularities in the pattern in my order so that's good. It more than met my expectations and I highly recommend these tiles for any floor or wall use case you may have.

      THE MEROLA TILE BERKELEY BLACK 17-5/8 IN. X 17-5/8 IN. ENCAUSTIC CERAMIC FLOOR AND WALL TILE (11.02 SQ. FT./CASE), BLACK AND WHITE / LOW SHEEN IS AN AMAZINGLY-FABULOUS PRODUCT. WE ARE USING IT AS A BACK-SPLASH IN OUR KITCHEN UNDER CABINET AREA, IT LOOKS AMAZING. IT IS LARGE ENOUGH YOU ONLY NEED TO PUT UP ON TILE AND THERE IS NO NEED TO STACK THEM. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO COMPLETE YOUR UPGRADE IN RECORD TIME. YOU GET THE LOOK OF 4 TILES IN ONE TILE. YOU DO HAVE TO BE AWARE OF THE THICKNESS OF THIS TILE WHEN USING IT THIS WAY. YOU MAY NEED TO ADD A BIT MORE GROUT TO BRING IT UP TO THE THICKNESS OF THE SURROUNDING TILE SO AS NOT NOT HAVE A LOWER AREA. IT TRULY IS BEAUTIFUL. THE TILE ITSELF IS SMOOTH AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RIDGES WHEN CLEANING. I LOOK FORWARD TO EASY CLEANING AND TIME-SAVING UPKEEP!

      I chose the Merola Tile Berkeley Black 17 5/8 inch x 17 5/8 inch Encaustic Ceramic floor tile with a low sheen, because I love the classic look of it. It has a retro feel to it and will look wonderful with the clawfoot tub we are installing. I love the fact that it is low sheen and easy to clean. I do recommend using a non slip rug with this if using in a bathroom environment. Love this product.

      We use tile in many situations that are not permanently set. In photography I use these tiles as a background or under setting. But these high contrast tiles I have started to use to put under plant containers to protect my wood floors in winter and my outside deck in summer. The tiles are large and the pattern is bold. It is striking under the plants. This black and white pattern is vibrant and classic. The tiles are heavy and of high quality. The surface is not slippery and would be very safe for walking.

      DON’T HESITATE!
      This floor was a dream to install and is the centrepiece of our new bathroom. Fantastic value and not too shiny, it is the perfect blend of old and new.

          This beautiful tile added some interest to our mundane laundry room floor. We used a terracotta grout that matches the color of the tile and it looks fantastic with the brown in the pattern. Love it!

          Beautiful ceramic black and white tile never goes out of style. I was concerned it would be too busy, but it came out beautifully. I had it professionally installed. 1/16 spacer and white grout. Love the look of it. Goes well with my transitionally styled bathroom. Feels nice on the feet too.

              It looks great as a backsplash in our kitchen. Make sure you know the tile peices are very large, I didn’t realize how big they were til we got them in. Our tile guy didn’t have any trouble installing though.
