Tile

Why is there shade variation in the tiles from the same box?

+
  • Many of today’s popular styles of tile are designed to look and feel like natural stone, emulating their rugged surface and color variations. These tiles are intended to show color and texture variations, just like natural stone. Since the composition of the tile’s glaze also varies, different tile styles will also exhibit different gloss levels.
  • You should also be aware that solid color tiles provide a consistent look, however shade variation is inherent in all fired ceramic products and certain tiles will show greater variation within their dye lots.
  • Shade variation is usually indicated on the carton of each tile product with a low, moderate, high or random rating. Here, to help you, are the definitions:
    • Low – Consistent shade and texture
    • Moderate – Moderate shade and texture variation
    • High – High shade and texture variation
    • Random – Very high shade and texture variation
  • The presence of shade variation in the tile is represented by a multi shaded square grid on the tile carton and is true for almost tiles.
