Is Cloe tile from big box stores & Bedrosians directly the same tile?
Comments (118)@Cooking in the Kitchen Ugh. Sorry! Nothing about the tile is to blame for that issue. Bedrosians is correct. The backsides are perfectly flat, machine made. The edges are a bit wavy which means grout lines won't be perfect. Only a wall that is not plumb or a bad install with uneven thinset application would cause that. If your wall is plumb it should be perfectly flat. If you have a new or newish house unless the framing or drywall was off, your walls should be fairly straight to be able to handle this tile with a better finished look. This sounds like a contractor passing the blame, unfortunately and not taking responsibility. Your contractor is right that is not the easiest tile install because of the color variation and edges and may simply be above installers skill level. I still think that in time it won't irritate you every time you pass by. If contractor is refusing to fix it, you need to decide if worth it to you to hire someone else to reinstall if that is within budget....See MoreShow me your white Bedrosians CLOE Tile with Quartz Countertops

Comments (53)@Addie Yeah, Zellige Pearl Opal at F&D. Here are pics from the showroom display - i see the same level of variation as the displays I've seen in the Bedrosian showroom. @dmac1108 thank you, but I found our match - bought 8 boxes right away. Yes, these are the same thickness and dimensions. I posted this thought on another thread - I have trouble describing them as "cooler or warmer tones" but they do lean cool IMO - Remember these tiles originated from a ceramic/clay material, which is an earthy material. I could be wrong, but it seems like the paint applied to the tiles vary in intensity to create the variation rather than shades of paint (or like more opaque and less opaque. (Most typical tiles are totally coated making them 100% opaque). I wonder if that makes sense... Then the glazing probably adds something to the finish too. I have 4 samples of Cloe with me on hand and when I mixed them on my kitchen counter, we could not tell which was which. but that's just me... Even within the same brand, I believe tiles can vary from production to production. That could also explain any difference you see. I like that these are forgiving because of the variation! Adessi version on display - Mapei Warm Gray grout. The lighting makes the whites stand out more. From far away, it looks more blended. Adessi - I set the tiles on the floor here. @addie If you can function without backsplash, it makes sense to wait. I ordered mine early March, and they told me end of april without a guarantee. We have to tile behind our vent hood & I can't get appliances & faucet installed until after tile. Hope this helps! - Grace...See MoreBacksplash help!! pics
Comments (67)@Alix Ferguson I think your kitchen looks great. I have a similar color palette. Can I ask what color grout you used (white or bright white), and what edging? If schluter, what color? I'm not a fan of the white schluter against my wall color, so I'm trying to find other options. Thanks!...See MoreSteph Creen
