Excellent Quality
We have been doing various projects around our new home but it was time for a change of pace. My wife spotted these tiles and was immediately impressed. She did not need them for our renovation and upgrade projects. As an avid and advanced crafter she intends to use these to make various types of signs. These tiles are very well constructed, and quite heavy and solid. The fact that they can be used indoors or outdoors just made them even more versatile. The final plus or deal closer was that they are environmentally friendly and a healthy choice based on their construction on today’s COVID situation.

Merola Tile Textile Basic Kayak Black – good tiles from big Merola Kayak family!
This review covers the Kayak family of Merola porcelain tiles (all 7"x13" and low sheen): - Timeless Calacatta - Textile Basic White - Textile Basic Black - Marquina Quality is good to excellent; investigated randomly approximately 10 tile pieces and found only one tiny defect on Timeless Calacatta tile. This tiny defect is not going to be seen after grouting. The list of tiles above is ordered according my personal preference. Basic Black is good but somewhat boring if you decide to use it alone. It will go good in combination with white. [I am planning to use only along the walls.] As for installation process you should expect it to be usual for those tiles. As an advice: invest some time to precut and lay down on the floor to understand and apprehend the whole picture (even before removing old floor). It will help to avoid problems later (when it will be too late). Tiles are close to 10 mm in thickness. I personally would apply those only on the floor. But if you have a trust in your studs then wall application can be done. Tiles are made of porcelain – highly recommend getting nice grinder or a wet saw for clear cutting. Those are not my first (and likely not my last) tiles from Merola. I personally trust the quality from Merola and (in most cases) beauty. Recommend! Happy DIYing.

Merola Tile Textile Basic Kayak White – excellent tiles from big Merola Kayak family!
This review covers the Kayak family of Merola porcelain tiles (all 7"x13" and low sheen): - Timeless Calacatta - Textile Basic White - Textile Basic Black - Marquina Quality is good to excellent; I investigated randomly approximately 10 tile pieces and found only one tiny defect likely made during production cycle on Timeless Calacatta tile (it is definitely not a crack or chip). This tiny defect likely is not going to be seen when grout will be applied (extreme case you can use this tile somewhere by the walls or corners where cutting will be required anyway). The list of tiles above is ordered according my personal preference - Timeless Calacatta looks gorgeous. White is clear and pure. Black is OK (but somewhat boring if you decide to use it alone). Marquina Kayak unusual - reminds me classic black with some grayish tint and random splashes of off-white paint. Once again my taste is not necessary “right”, it is mine :) Enjoy what you love. Do not follow rules here. As for installation process you should expect it to be usual for those tiles.

Unique Design
This review is for the Merola Tile Textile Basic in kayak white 7x13 in. Porcelain floor and Wall Tile with low sheen. This is a very unique shape tile and could be used anywhere in your home. Most people would use these as is but because I am a Artist I will be painting them and then they can be used on the walls or floor or they can also be used as hot plates or as a decorations. I included a picture of another tile I turned into a hot plate with a cork bottom.
