Customer Reviews for MSI Tuscany Ivory Beveled 11.81 in. x 11.81 in. Honed Travertine Mosaic Tile (0.97 sq. ft./Each)

This the works for me

Love the look of the tiles. We chose these because we thought they would be easier/quicker than individual tiles but they have their own problems. They are not uniform on the mesh so the gap between the tiles differs both horizontally and vertically in places. You really have to work with it to keep lines straight. Other than that it turned out great. We used a pewter colored grout and used disposable cake decorating bag/tip to grout with. It made getting in those narrow areas much easier.

We love these tiles! We used them as our kitchen backsplash with linen grout and it looks fabulous! They compliment our busy granite countertops well. We used a cake icing bag and tip to grout and that worked nicely. We're extremely pleased with the results!

Tiles were not spaced evenly on the mesh, made it very difficult to utilize, some spaces were 1/2 inch and others were no space, vertical and horizontal... I had a lot of cutting out the tiles and custom fitting in hem to get reasonable 1/8 inch spaces... Also grouting was a pain to get the grout out of the chamfers... I used premixed adhesive and I mixed up nonsanded grout - linen was a good color choice... Alot of custom work but it does look nice... I did 40 sq ft several areas... My wife loves it... Happy wife happy life...

Nice tile, easy to work with as long as you keep it dry. The mesh netting on the back could be a little stronger.

Very attractive and easy to install.

The tile was shipped and there was no breakage out of 6 boxes. Looks great. Very happy

The title was easy to work with and went up easily. Final result looks fabulous.

Very unhappy with the fact that we bought an entire box of these and the colors did not match up. Now we have to rip tiles off the wall and fix the problem. This photo shows one spot where the tiles are clearly different colors, although the numbers on the back of them all matched.

This is an excellent product & easy to work with. We used for our kitchen backsplash, and was our first time working with tile. The design makes it easy to cut in the electrical outlets and light switches as you can cut the sheet apart. My only comments for other beginners is that the beveling makes it more difficult to grout, and you may want to go with a contrasting grout color if you want it to look old and repaired (i.e. more rustic). We went with the Sahara grout color, and are very happy with the results. This tile is full of imperfections (by design) so just be aware of that but it looks great on the wall.

Beautiful tile, installed with ivory grout to match granite. Better to use an icing applicator to install grout because of the beveled tiles, not as much mess. So many compliments

This was easy to put up and looks great the grouting process was a little tricky due to the beveled edge of the tile

Beautiful tile/stone. I have gotten so many compliments on it. It transformed my kitchen.

It took me some time to find the right tile for my kitchen backlash and I am glad I found this tile. It looks high-end and easy to install. I highly recommend this tile

Love the look of these tiles. The beveled edges look very high end. My husband installed the tile and he was very careful with the grout as we wanted to keep the integrity of the tiles. This was very time consuming, but worth it. He used a bag with a tip to put up the grout. We also used the bone unsanded grout.

Overall, this tile is pretty good material, but not without problems. Imported from Turkey. Finished job, using "Linen" (#122) color non-sanded grout, looks really good, providing me the desired appearance for a backsplash against my kitchen's Namib Gold granite (South Africa). These tile were very easy to cut, shape, & trim using a 7" wet saw. Installed using premixed thin-set (AcrylPro), powder grout (premixed Polyblend grout NOT available in non-sanded at HD), and matching Polyblend caulk. Fortunately, the natural imperfections in the face of this stone tile is able to accommodate the occasionally-imperfect dimensions of these tiles, which were not always exactly 2" x 4", not all at 10 mm thickness, not all bevels identical, and not always equally-spaced on the mesh sheeting / backing. This job was 28 sq ft, so I over-bought to 35 sq ft, allowing me to select sheets that looked better next to each other, and avoiding the sheets having the poorest spacing issues. At times I found the need to detach really poorly-spaced tiles to bring the alignment back to acceptable levels. Since I don't do this type of work every day, I don't know if poor spacing on the mesh from the supplier is the norm, or if I am too picky, but it was annoying to deal with. And in the store, I had to go through about 45 sq ft of sheets to find 35 un-broken tile sheets. Although these quality issues were encountered and burned time trying to manage, as said above, the job came out looking great. Still a little grout clean-up to do, but see pix for an example of the installed tile.

We refurbished the kitchen deciding on resurfacing cabinets in lieu of total replacement. It was very fast, clean and the results were beautiful. The backsplash was a combination of two different designs which picked up the color of the cabinets beautifully. The style made installation quick and easy.

Color variation can be drastic so use care when purchasing. I went to several Home Depot's to get consistency in color. My tile guy used 'unsanded' grout which gave it a more 'rustic' look that I wanted. Since the edges are beveled, it required more cuts in order to look the same.

Ok, so I've never put up tile before. I did read the reviews on this tile before purchasing 46 sq.ft of it. It looks fantastic in my kitchen. I can't believe its MY kitchen. It took me awhile to put up being slower because I've never done it before. I accented it with the natural stone tiles I also purchased at Home Depot. I love it!!! So does all my friends and family on Facebook. The only difficulity I found was in grouting with the beveled edges, it was slow going and I found using a pastry bag with a metal cake decorating tip worked wonderful. I still have some cut work pieces to finish but I'm almost there.

First time backsplasher, I installed this tile using a wet saw to cut the stone. No problems, easy as pie and looks beautiful.

Great product looks really nice and fast shipping.

Nice looks beautiful.

It laid very nicely in my kitchen. Looks amazing!
