We use Esmer tile and focus on timeless vs trendy. We want you to love your kitchen tile 5, 10, 15+ years down the road as much as you will the day you walk in to your new home. A brick pattern is standard, while herringbone is an upgrade. Other patterns are available as well as tiling to the ceiling. We have made grout recommendations below. Though your personal preference may differ. Samples are available at each showroom. 

Catch: Standard. A solid color for a consistent look. This is a flat tile. with an even look. 

Raku: Tiles are inspired by fired pottery and will have pattern variation in each tile for a look of movement. This pattern can be lighter on various tiles giving the look of a lighter tile than the one next to it. Jolly of 1/2"x12" is availble for a finished edge. This tile has a raised radius around it.

Passion: Tiles will have a consistent pattern and color on the same tile yet another tile can have a different hue for greater shade variation that skews to a different color. Jolly of 1/2'x8 is available for a fnished edge. This tile has a bumpy surface that catches the light and shimmers.

Sterling II: 8mm depth, this is a matte 12x12 gray mesh. The grout will make all the difference in how this looks. dark grout will give the appearance of a the photo or use the recommended grout for a streamlined look.

Designer Advice: Though Passion and Raku tiles are twice as expensive the overall cost is not much. Passion White is the #1 choice if you prefer a little color go with Raku Silver in Matte or Glossy.
