Aequa Cirrus 12 x 48 Porcelain Wood Look Tile

Description

Aequa Cirrus 12 x 48
Porcelain Wood Tile Made in Italy

The Aequa Cirrus 12 x 48 is a high end wood-looking porcelain tile with rectified edges. It comes on a stunningly large format of 12 x 48 with an amazingly real distressed wood texture. This collection is designed and manufactured in Italy by Castelvetro Tiles to perform at the highest industry standards. These tiles are subject to strict quality controls to make sure they are free of defects, and to achieve consistency in size and tonality.

With a PEI Class IV rating, this floor is more than adequate for high traffic areas in residential applications, and is suitable for commercial settings. The manufacturer recommends installing the tiles with at least 1/8th of inch grout line. A smaller grout line (i.e. 1/16th in.) can be achieved with a leveling-spacer installation system such as our LASH system. These tiles can be installed on a variety of layouts, including straight, diagonal and even herringbone pattern. Never install porcelain tiles on a “brick pattern” or 50% offset pattern, doing so will accentuate the “bowing” effect of the porcelain tiles.
