I have Del Conca tile in my master bathroom mine is not that color but it is a good quality tile and beautiful. As you can see we are not completely finished with it yet so can't speak to how well it holds up to wear but I would assume very well its a good quality porcelain made in Italy.

That is very pretty!

Yes, my box says made in Italy.

I realized the grout lines are not showing in my second pic much because I just grouted the hallway the other day and need to go back and scrub off the grout haze.

jhmarie - Thanks so so much for posting your pics. If you remember I loved the look of your two kitchens and posted a comment on your pics page. That floor looks great in your little kitchenette. I am so happy to hear that it is the tile I am considering. I appreciate so much your timely response. What a talent you are , you are doing a fantastic job on the floors!

ravencajun - Thanks so much for posting your input on the quality of your Del Conca tile I very much appreciated it. Your bathroom will look awesome when done!

Thanks Pearl - I do remember you:)

The green walls aren't the best match for the floor. I painted the kitchenette part blue because I had a quart of blue paint. I've tested several colors and haven't found what I want though I do like the blue with the white beadboard and dark cabinets - maybe a slightly different shade. There is also a fireplace to consider. I'd post a dilemma, but probably get suggestions for gray which I don't like - and one project at a time. One door is my son's room and the other his bathroom, and he likes the green.

On one of my jobs. With Flexcolor CQ acrylic grout in Bone.

I choose the same mapai flexcolor cq acrylic grout, in the shower it is warm gray. In my back bathroom that is a Travertine color tile I used biscuit in the same grout. That is some v good grout, expensive but great. It's also used on my Barnwood look porcelain tile.

live_wire_oak , Just verifying that beautiful tile job you posted is Lowe's Del Conca Roman Stone Beige? The color looks different than jhmarie's kitchenette but I like it just as much. Her's looks more like a beigey shade and yours leans more to a taupey gray shade. I know many things can effect the way a tile looks visually to the eye from one room to the next. However, both look to be very neutral colors that will go with pretty much any decor. That is one of the reasons I like it. What a fantastic job you did, I just love the tile pattern! Thanks for posting your beautiful work.

live wire might have posted the "Roman Beige Noce" - slightly darker than the regular Roman Beige.

It might be the Noche. We did the job in May, and my memory isn't what it used to be. Don't have my notes in the phone with the pic on it. I'll double check at the office.

Opinions on whether a vanity in cinnamon would go well with roman stone beige?

The Roman Stone Beige is very neutral. I have two different wood tone going on in my basement and it is working with both. I think it would work well with cinnamon.

You can pick up a couple of tiles from Lowes and place them next to the vanity (if it is someplace accessible and not in a pic online) and get a good idea of how they would go together.

Thanx jhmarie. Yes, that's the problem, pics only on line, cinnamon vanity not sold in stores.

Hello All, I have finally narrowed my tile selection down to another Lowe's Del Conca tile called Rialto Beige 12 by 12 for my kitchen.

JHMarie - I see that you used Tec brand grout. Did you use their 550 powergrout? Was it difficult to use? . Would you use it again? How quickly does this set up?

Live Wire Oak & RavenCajun - I see you both used the Mapei Flexcolor CQ grout? Would you recommend this grout for an experienced DIYer (my husband)? He has done several tile jobs over the years, however with regular sanded grout. I believe that Flexcolor CQ grout sets up quicker than usual.

I did look at my Lowe's and did not see any grout in a color I need but can check out another few Lowe's. I did go to a local well known tile store looking for backsplash tile as well and questioned them about grout for different applications. They stock and recommend Tec's 550 powergrout and Laticrete's Permacolor which I have researched already. I would appreciate any feedback anyone can offer.

Thanks!

Hi Pearl.

I used a TEC premixed grout. I explained to the guys at the John Bridge Tile forum that I was tiling over 400 sq. ft. in my spare time, and it would take me weeks (actually months, but I took the summer off). I said that at times I might only get 25 sq ft done and would not be able to grout it all at once - and that there was the possibility of being interrupted to deal with the family:) One guy suggested a premixed grout, and specified a type which I could not find in my area. I know TEC is a pretty good brand so I used their's instead. I also was very tired of mixing up powders - I would mix the thinset in my garage and lug it down to the basement so the thought of a premixed grout was lovely - no mixing, snap the lid back on when interrupted and consistent color. I think it is twice the cost of powdered, but the perks outweighed the cost given the chore. I used the Pearl color. It takes 24 hours before you can use the floor. On a smaller job I would not mind the powdered, though the color can vary if you add more or less water - so be consistent with every batch you mix.

This is what I used:

JHMarie,

Thanks so much for the detailed facts of your recent grouting experience. Yours and others input has helped me greatly in making the right decisions for our tile job. I can't thank you enough for giving me your prompt inciteful input and response! As my daughter would say, "You rock!"

No problem. I appreciate when someone can give me a little help so try to pass it on:)

I realize these posts were from 4 years ago. I’m expanding my kitchen and need about 50 Sq feet of the 18 x 18 tiles. If anyone has leftovers that they do not need I’ll buy them off you and cover shipping. I know this is a long shot but I’m trying anyways. I adore this flooring. Thanks!

To live wire oak. Do you by chance have a few 12x12 tiles you can spare to sell. I’m in a mess with a water damaged
Floor
