I searched high and low for the perfect tile for our 1911 bath renovation. I love the hex shape and look of slate but I wasn't sure if these would read to monochromatic in color. The color has just enough nuance to make it a believable slate gray. I matched mine with Delorian grey grout from Lowes. It is slightly lighter and gives great contrast. According to our installer the tile was easy to cut and work with. Shipping was fast and not a single tile was broken in transit.
