Classics

What Is the Classics Collection?

Classics is a marble-look porcelain hexagon mosaic in two colorways: Carrara, a bright white with soft gray veining, and Venetian Gray, a warm gray with flowing veining. Each 2-inch hexagon comes mesh-mounted on sheets, so you install full sections at once instead of setting individual pieces.

This is porcelain made to look like marble, not natural stone. If you want real veined marble in mosaic form, browse marble tiles instead. Classics gives you the honeycomb hexagon look with porcelain's lower maintenance and more consistent veining from sheet to sheet.

Classics Floor and Wall Tile

Floor and wall tile: Both colorways are matte porcelain built to hold up to daily foot traffic, and the matte surface gives a confident grip in damp spaces compared to a polished finish. Because the hexagons are small and mesh-backed, you can run the same sheets across a shower floor, a bathroom floor, or up a wall as a backsplash or accent without switching products.

The grout color you choose changes how the pattern reads. White grout against Carrara nearly disappears, so the floor looks like one continuous marble surface. A contrasting gray or charcoal grout on either color makes the individual hexagons stand out as a clear honeycomb pattern.

Classics Tile by Room

Bathroom and shower floor: The matte surface and the grout lines between hundreds of small hexagons give you more traction underfoot than a single large bathroom floor tile would, which is why hexagon mosaics show up so often on shower floors.

Kitchen backsplash: Carrara reads as a classic white backsplash that pairs with almost any cabinetry. Venetian Gray works the same way in a kitchen that's already built around warm grays or greiges.

Accent wall or niche: Both colors work well in a smaller mosaic application, like a shower niche or a powder room accent wall, where the honeycomb pattern reads as a deliberate detail rather than the main floor.

How to Choose Classics Tile

Choose Carrara for a brighter, higher-contrast look and Venetian Gray for a warmer, more grounded neutral. Both pair with wood vanities and brass or matte black fixtures, but Carrara reads cooler and Venetian Gray reads warmer.

Pick grout color before you order, not after. White grout blends the pattern into a single surface. Darker grout turns the hexagon shape into the main visual feature. Decide which effect you want, since it changes how much tile you actually see once it's grouted.

Use the mesh backing to your advantage on curves and niches. Mesh-mounted sheets flex slightly, which makes them easier to wrap around curbs, niches, and shower pans than a rigid larger-format tile.

Order a sample to check shade consistency under your lighting. Porcelain mosaics vary less than natural marble, but the veining pattern still reads differently under warm versus daylight bulbs.
