Tile was delivered on time. It is the perfect matte black tile! We had it installed with a medium gray grout and I wouldn't change a thing! I loved it in one bathroom so much, I decided to use it in another kids bathroom!

Lovely taupe-y color grey that looks fantastic with “platinum” grout. The hexagon tile is a nice way to bridge a modern & traditional look.

Great quality and made a beautiful guest bathroom. I suggest you order about 10 percent more than the measurements calls for just due to the cuts required.

The tiles were perfect. Very classy. I put them in a master bathroom. There are 2 ways to install the tiles - with the points facing you when you enter the room or with the flat sides facing you. I prefer the points toward the door. The online calculator overestimated how much I needed.

Hi MLC,

We’re glad to hear that our Hexatile Matte Nero worked for your installation! We always recommend ordering 10% more than your calculated amount to assure that you order enough tile to account for cutting, future repairs and dye lot and caliber consistency. Also, it is always great to have a couple extra laying around the house in the event of a future project or damages down the road. Thanks for the feedback!

We had so many problems with this particular tile. They are extremely easy to scratch and then they have other areas of the tile that don’t scratch but have shiny spots that ruin the mat finish. Very disappointing.

Hi Gaz17corv,

We apologize for the issues you experienced with your order. The shiny spots that you are referring to may have been caused by the wax that is applied to the tile. This wax is applied to the tiles to prevent the tiles from rubbing together; once the wax is peeled off, it can leave a glossy residue on the tile.

Please give us a call at (800)-963-7652 or email us at Depot.team@merolatile.com, so that we may work out a solution for you. We apologize for what happened and would love the opportunity to make this right.

The tile was affordable and looks great. Made in Spain. Very happy with it! Unfortunate that you cannot see the tile before ordering it online. You just have to roll the dice. The store was confused because of the quantity, because it is sold in odd quantities, like sets of 7. Nothing was damaged.

Hi HomeDepotCustomer,

We’re glad to hear that our Hexatile Matte Nero worked out for your installation! To clarify for future customers, this tile is sold in a pack that contains 7 tiles. The master case for this product contains 35 tiles; if this is ordered in multiples of 5, you will receive one master case. Our goal is to provide only the best for our customers, and we’re so happy this worked out for you. Thank you for the feedback!

Hi Nancy,

We’re sorry to hear that our Hexatile Matte Nero didn’t meet your expectations. This white substance is Talc, and it was placed onto the surface of the tile to prevent damages during transit. If this is not placed on the tile prior to transit from the factory, the tiles can rub together. If the tiles are consistently rubbing against each other, they have a higher chance to become damaged during transit. Thanks for your feedback.

This is the most beautiful tile! It was for my bathroom floor and this Merola 8” also came in a 2” hex for the shower floor. They match perfectly! I shopped many flooring stores around town and none of them could provide both sizes. I’m so happy with the look, truly a stunning tile. Highly recommend

Looks beautiful. We had it professionally installed so not sure how hard it is to lay the tile, but are pleased with the color and look of it.

Wax!
A few reviewers had the same experience as I did. The tile came with this white wax(to protect them from chips). After removing them and installing the tile, I had to scrub the residue with goof off for over an hour! I guess I’m lucky that it was such a small floor. DO NOT buy these unless you enjoy being on your hands and knees, wearing a respirator and using solvent for an extended period of time. Huge pain in the rear. Poor packaging.

Hi BennyB,

We’re sorry to hear that our Hexatile Matte Nero didn’t meet your expectations. As mentioned in your review, the wax swirls are placed on the tile to prevent it from being damaged during transit. If these are not placed on the tile prior to transit from the factory, the tiles can rub together. If the tiles are consistently rubbing against each other, they have a higher chance to become damaged during transit. Thanks for your feedback.

    Like many other previous reviewers stated (so I knew what I was getting into) there is a crazy white film on EVERY single tile that will need to be removed. Pretty terrible.

    Hi HomeDepotCustomer,

    Thank you for the feedback on our Hexatile Matte Nero. The swirls that you’re seeing on the tiles isn’t film, it’s wax. When products are shipped from the factory, they attach wax swirls to protect the tiles from rubbing against each other. If wax is not applied to the tiles, the tiles can become damaged by rubbing against each other. The wax comes off fairly easy once some pressure is applied to it. We apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused you.

    I was so incredibly disappointed with this tile. We ordered samples and picked them up in store - half were broken in half, completely scratched, and they were handed to us out of a box - no protection between pieces. The coating on the top had different textures. Horrible quality.
