Daltile Rittenhouse Square question re: colors - whites
Comments (2)I was trying to choose between the three whites: 100, 101, and arctic white (170?). Arctic is a pure brite white, 100 has a touch of yellow to give it a warm creamy look, and 101 matches kohler's white and has a hint of gray. I wouldn't recommend 101. If you want a warmer creamy look to go with biscuit the 101 should work well. I have only looked at glossy finishes; matte is more durable but will look different. I believe I have some samples of the hex tiles you mention and I think 100 matches them best and 101 looks the worst....See Moredaltile rittenhouse square subway tile - white or artic white?
Comments (2)We used White, but it seems like there was more than one White (besides Arctic White). Ours is NOT the Arctic White and it looks kind of yellowish with our very white tub. Sometimes I wish we'd gone with a brighter white, but for the most part I don't notice it. Sorry I'm not speaking to your question of authenticity....See MoreDal-Tile Keystone hex-Arctic White or Biscuit?
Comments (3)Believe it or not, I don't know the brand, as I'm getting my tile from a local supplier. However it is white like Dal-Tile's Arctic White. You mentioned the hex pix on this forum - I have seen mostly pure white hex. Biscuit is a fairly yellow color, and it would be easiest to see the difference if you can find a tile showroom somewhere and talk to the sales people. I attached a link for you to an article on white bathrooms, and choosing between different kinds of white. The first picture in the article (white pedestal sink, brushed nickel fixtures, white subway tile, hex floor) is actually the inspiration for one of my bathroom remodels. And this is definitely white, not biscuit. You can see that by looking at (and enlarging) the second photo down, the one with the claw-foot tub. That floor is closer to a biscuit color, and you can see how much yellower it is in contrast with the white walls. You asked about grout - I have seen strong opinions on this forum on white versus gray grout. However I am going with gray (the color is "silverado") based on advice from my tile guy. I don't want to be obsessing over keeping my white grout lines clean, and I like the idea of the gray grout breaking up the starkness of the pure white. I have a biased opinion on white vs biscuit - I am actually tearing out all the biscuit-colored tile in my 2 bathrooms and replacing it with pure white, which I think is a classier neutral. But the cool thing about design is that you get to express your own tastes and personality! I would highly recommend that you go to a few tile showrooms and get a feeling for what look you like (or at least cruise the internet for photos for a while). Once you have a sense of what you like, the color choice will be easier. Not easy, but easier. :) Good luck! ~Lynne Here is a link that might be useful: Article on white bathrooms...See MoreDalTile via Home Depot or DalTile
Comments (3)Well, we can get the Rittenhouse 3x6 but not the Modern Dimension 4x8 so looks like we are going with the ProSource pricing--need 4x8 bullnose too we are thinking a 3x6 basketweave pattern on top 3rd--chair-rail transition and then 4x8 in running bond...herringbone would have been an upcharge from the tile guy the shower is 72" back wall and end walls are 42"... i think the 3x6 on bottom third in running bond would be a little too busy and the 4x12 in Modern Dimensions is same price as 4x8 but they would be too long for short walls... Will the 4x8 be too boxy under basketweave?...See More- 15 years ago
