Questions and Answers for Merola Tile Twenties Corner 7-3/4 in. x 7-3/4 in. Matte Ceramic Floor and Wall Tile Trim

A:  Small size

A:  Hi! We recommend using a 1/4 inch square-notch trowel for installation of our Twenties Vintage. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  No, it is not suitable to be used on a ceiling of a shower.

A:  Hi, Angela! Yes, our Twenties Vintage is suitable for shower ceiling installations as it has a glazed finish that will not absorb water. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  Hi! To determine if this product can be shipped to your nearest location, please check both delivery options listed underneath our product.

A:  This is a ceramic tile with an encaustic look. Not a true Encaustic tile.

A:  Hi! Our Twenties Classic is an encaustic-look tile constructed of ceramic. Sealing this product is not required. However, sealing the grout can help prolong the life of your installation and help prevent the grout lines and tile from dirt buildup. This tile has a glazed finish, which will help prevent contaminants from staining the tile if cleaned up in a reasonable amount of time. As for installation instructions, you can find this and other resources listed under “Info & Guides” within the product overview section on the product page. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  Hi! We would not recommend installing this product over pre-existing aggregate. The main issue is that the integrity of your second installation would depend on the previous installation. If any issues arise with the original installation, this will subsequently damage the new installation. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

A:  The materials arrived on time

A:  It is a soft white and charcoal. Love it

A:  Hi Sue, The white in our Twenties Classic is more of an off-white, or a very light grey. Computer monitors have a tendency to portray colors either too warm or too cool in terms of tone. This makes judging whether the tile will suit your needs a bit more difficult. If you would like to determine if these tiles are right for you, we offer samples at the Home Depot! Twenties Classic is a unique situation where we offer a full tile sample https://thd.co/2EEQlvW. Please note that variation in color, shade and texture are inherent characteristics of glazed tile. The pattern, shape, dye lot (color) and size of the actual tile received may vary. Home Depot offers a 90-day return policy on all unused items returned in the full quantity they were sold. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

A:  Yes it's like an off white. You will be happy with them

A:  Yes, I would call it a soft white

A:  Personally, I’d call it on the softer side. Probably because the finish is matte, not shiny. It’s definitely black and white though, and since that’s such a stark contrast, the white definitely looks white! All I can really say for sure is that I love it in my small bathroom.

A:  Yes I would call this a soft white. It’s a printed image so it’s not super crisp like actual cement tiles but for the price you can’t go wrong. I put it behind two small hanging vanities and mirrors. It is amazing and it has a matte finish so it’s not slippery. Lots of compliments.

A:  Most white tiles seem to work fine, because Merrola is a soft color. I'd choose a white tile brand that has the options included, bullnose, trim, floor transition, such and such.

A:  Hi MW, Unfortunately, we don't carry a subway tile that directly coordinates with our Twenties Vintage. We can recommend some options for you, but ultimately this would come down to your preference. The first suggestion is our Projectos Neve Matte https://thd.co/2zigADD. This tile has all similar specifications to the Twenties Vintage, including a slightly textured, matte finish. The second suggestion is our Metro Soho Subway Matte White https://thd.co/2A7FLZe. This tile also has very similar specifications to our Twenties Vintage, but is made of porcelain. This tile also has a C.O.F. between .60 and .79, which means this tile meets or exceeds ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Guidelines and is skid resistant. If you would like to determine if either of these tiles are right for you, we offer samples! Please be aware that samples come adhered to 6”x6” sample cards which offer a color and texture sample, not a look at the whole pattern. To be able to see the whole pattern, we recommend ordering one sheet. Please note that variation in color, shade and texture are inherent characteristics of glazed tile. The pattern, shape, dye lot (color) and size of the actual tile received may vary. Home Depot offers a 90-day return policy on all unused items returned in the full quantity they were sold (in this situation, an each). If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

A:  No. I would not use it in a counter top situation. It is a little porous to begin with so I would not advise doing so in that type of application. Thanks Mac

A:  Hi SQUIRREL, Our Twenties Classic has a PEI rating of 3, which means it can be used on a kitchen countertop as long as it will not be receiving heavy use. Ideally, you will want to find a tile that has a PEI rating of 4 or 5 for a regularly used countertop. If your kitchen countertop will be receiving rigorous use, we would recommend looking into our Arte White https://thd.co/2yPgmmv. This encaustic look field tile also has a PEI rating of 4, so this would be a great option! Arte has a very similar pattern to our Twenties Classic, but with the colors reversed. One thing to be aware of is that our Arte is slightly larger than our Twenties, and Arte is made of porcelain. In situations like this, we would suggest ordering samples from the Home Depot! Arte comes on a 3”x4” sample card which offer a color and texture sample, not a look at the whole pattern https://thd.co/2CsJN1c. To be able to see the whole pattern, we recommend ordering a case. Please note that variation in color, shade and texture are inherent characteristics of glazed tile. The pattern, shape, dye lot (color) and size of the actual tile received may vary. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

A:  Hi maillady, Yes, our Twenties Vintage would be a great option for the outside of a firebox! As long as these tiles aren’t in direct contact with flames, they won’t be affected by indirect heat. These tiles are heated to temperatures over thousands of degrees during the manufacturing process, so a small amount of indirect heat from a firebox is nothing compared to that. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

A:  Hi tiler, Yes, our Twenties series offers three bullnose tiles that would coordinate well with our Twenties Vintage https://thd.co/2N1HoNS. Please keep in mind that although these tiles are in the same series, they do not come from the same dye lot. As a result of this, the different shades might not match up perfectly. We would recommend purchasing a single piece to see if it suits your needs. Home Depot offers a 90-day return policy on all unused items returned in the full quantity they were sold (in this situation, an each). If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!
