              by|Nov 27, 2018

                A:  Hi Dawn, Yes, our Metro Octagon Matte White with Dot can be used in a shower for both floor and wall applications with no issue! If the background construction is waterproofed properly, this tile would be a great choice for a shower. This mosaic has a C.O.F. (Coefficient of Friction) rating of 0.6 to 0.79 which makes this compliant with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines for slip resistance. All C.O.F. means is how slip resistant a tile floor is; the higher the value, the more slip resistant the tile is. This tile also has a PEI rating of 3, which means this is suitable for medium duty residential floors. This PEI rating is high enough where using this on a shower floor will cause no issues! If you would like to determine if this mosaic is right for you, we offer samples on The Home Depot! This comes on a 3”x4” sample card which offer a color and texture sample, not a look at the whole mosaic https://thd.co/2rc368a. To be able to see the whole mosaic, 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 Fatema, Currently you’re on our Metro Octagon Matte White with Green, to get to our Oxford Matte White with Green, please click the following link https://thd.co/2Rr5QKV. One case of our Oxford contains 10 sheets; if you are referring to individual tiles, unfortunately, we do not sell these by the sheet. To order one case of this mosaic, you can click on the “Add to Cart” button, which is located under the product name. Another option would be to visit your local Home Depot and speak with one of the representatives in the flooring department. They should be able to assist you in purchasing this! If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!
