http://claysquared.com

Historic reproduction Subway tile for the walls and Unglazed porcelain hexagons for the floor. – There is no glazing or any other coating applied to the tile. Their color is the same on the face of the tile as it is on the back resulting in very durable tiles that do not show the effects of heavy traffic. The most common unglazed tiles are the red quarry tiles or the granite looking porcelain ceramic tiles used in heavy commercial areas. Historic matches to the original tiles made from 1890 - 1930's. Subway Ceramic floor tiles are made of the highest quality unglazed porcelain and carefully arranged on a fiber mesh as one square foot sheets. A complimentary black hex is also in stock in both sizes and available by the sheet for creating borders and accent designs.
Subway Ceramics offers vintage tile is 3/8" thick, with a flat surface and square edges. The Subway Ceramics collection of traditional subway tile, moldings and accessories.

How wide are the grout lines? - They look really thin. Are they string-set? Or 1/32? 1/16? »

Clay Squared to Infinity The tile setter Jan Hohn of Hohn and Hohn does use the string method many times. I don't recall if she did on this project. The standard she shoots for is 1/16th in general.

Love the tile - is the perimeter floor tile in the pattern grey or black? Looks lovely. I - I have a walnut vanity and a cherry stain with a white marble top. Wondering if this tile might complement it well. Looks like this bath has a darker wood vanity as well. Also, I'd love to know the manufacturer of this toilet as the alternative recommended by Danze isn't quite as lovely. Any help yu can offer would be greatly appreciated! »

justbuilding Thanks for all the information. I may order a sample -- just need to finish some research on other tiles I've been looking at first.

Any idea on the toilet? Is it vintage?

Clay Squared to Infinity Very good. I don't have the info on the toilet. The home owners worked with their contractor on that piece.

Grout color? - What is the grout colour in use - is it the same for floor and wall? »

Clay Squared to Infinity The tile setter would have either used TEC or Custom. Either is a fine grout

Simon Watkins For European users, following Clay Squared response, I've just grouted similar tiles in Mapei Ultracolor, "Cement Gray" and it looks a similar shade.

How did you do the niche for the toilet paper holder? What did you use for the TP mechanism itself? »
· Comment · 5 months ago
Clay Squared to Infinity It is set in to the wall between the studs. The TP holder is a one piece insert that has holes for the TP and a bar to hold it. Basically it is just a 6" x 6" by 6" tile.

Is the name of the 1st tile a chair rail or is it called something else? »

Clay Squared to Infinity They call the piece on the top row a Victoria Cap in the Subway Ceramics line. It is an exact replica of the time.
