Bright White Crackle Subway Tile Recommendations?

12 years ago

I know there have been quite a few threads about creamy white crackle subway tiles, but I'm looking for a bright white crackle tile. Can anyone recommend a crackle tile in a crisp, bright white? Thanks in advance!

Ok dug out the paperwork. It is 3X6 Hampton Collection Bevelled tile in white. We also got the pencil (bulllnose?) edge from that collection too.

Ordered it at a local tile store here in Southern CA.

Added a photo, sorry it's from cell phone

Hi Atelier! The horus samples arrived today!! Wow are they gorgeous!!! Both DH and I loved the cristalli the most. Love the uneven lines and the gorgeous crackle. Unfortunately, the lightest of the whites isn't white enough. It's practically identical to my soft white shiloh cabinets, and i dont expect that will change even when they are up on the walls. I think we will likely go with the Horus broadway in latte. The color is perfect. Will still have to track down a Cobsa in a soft white but I think it will be hard to beat $7.50/sq ft Any other suggestions to check out? Cannot thank you enough for your help!!!

If you are worried about the stark white with the off-white cabs, there are a lot of off-white tile choices. I am using Tilecrest crackle bisque subway tiles with off-white cabinets. I almost picked a darker color, almost khaki, which looked great with the cabinets and granite, but then didn't work with the paint. Didn't want to change the paint choice, since that also had to work with furniture in the adjacent room so went with the off white. They are supposed to start the backsplash today, so maybe I will be able to post some pics tonight. Sonoma tile also makes a crackle subway tile, but it was more than 2x the cost of the tilecrest. Since I could only tell the difference up close, I opted for the less expensive field tile and a pretty expensive mosaic for behind the range that wouldn't have fit the budget otherwise.

I believe Emser Tile (Cape Cod I think??) has what you are looking for. At one time I had over 25 samples of crackle subway tile samples so I am pretty familiar. LOL C & P for a picture of it in another GW'ers kitchen. Fifth or sixth reply down. I'm on my iphone and it won't let me enter a clickable link. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg030042454777.html

I have a lighter crackle tile behind the range (walker zanger gramercy park pipe smoke) along with white grout (flexcolor) and wiped spaghetti sauce off it just the other day. No scrubbing, just wiped it off. This picture was just after install - so no outlet covers on yet but you can see it's not real dark.

Another option is the horus cristalli 2.5X5 subway in bianco. I'm using it but it isn't installed yet, so I don't have pics. I got it for about $10/sqft. HTH

Thank you so much UKAlison and Brianadarnell! I actually had looked at both the Hampton and Cristalli tiles. The Hampton is still a contender, but has a grey undertone that is more noticeable with my white cabinets. While I fell in love with the Cristalli tile in the store, thinking it was the one, it was more creamy when I brought home a sample to try.

I actually chose a tile (after a lengthy search) and ordered it, but when the order came in, the tile was a darker shade than the sample I have. I was so disappointed because I really love the sample. It's the Ceramiche Grazia Essenze line in Bianco Crackle. The tile store will allow me to return the order, but I want to see if I can find a good alternative first.

Please keep the suggestions coming! There must be a crisp white tile out there that I haven't seen yet!
