Know before you buy
A 5+ variation rating indicates that you should expect significant differences in color, tone, and texture from tile to tile. This is a hallmark of the Natural Manganese Blend, meaning your finished floor will have a highly organic, non-uniform appearance.
Yes, these tiles are designed for residential floor applications and offer good scratch resistance. However, because they feature a textured matte finish, they may require more frequent cleaning to prevent debris from settling into the surface texture.
Yes, we recommend using a grout release. Because these tiles have a textured, matte surface, grout can easily get trapped in the natural variations of the glaze, making it difficult to clean after installation.
The manganese clay provides a rich, earthy brown base that acts as the foundation for the glaze. As the glaze shifts in tone and texture, the underlying clay body remains visible, creating a deep, multi-dimensional look that feels grounded and natural.
The sample kit is intended to show the range of the Natural Manganese Blend, but it will not capture every possible variation. Because each order is made specifically for your project, you should expect your final tiles to have their own unique character within the blend's spectrum.
