Hi there,
This tile is amazing. Has anyone seen this and know who the manufacturer is? We are building a new home. I would love to add this to our project.
Thank you,
Barb

Subway Tile - Am I out of luck?
Comments (25)I think you are overly concerned about nothing big. (I'm the one who also has a 100 year old house with subway tile all the way up to the uneven ceiling). Rather than starting at the top and focusing on how to even out the ceiling tiles, we started with a full row of tiles at the counter level because, after all, this is what the casual observer will most likely look at. The one other thing to try to figure out (easier said than done) is if the amount of space you have available once you really get to the ceiling will result in nearly full size tiles (this is our situation) that vary in size or very small slivers. IMO a row of teeny slivers that then transitions to no tiles would be most obvious....See MoreCan anyone identify this blue/green subway tile?
Comments (11)Whenever you're ready, we'll be here. You're reminding me of how my reno started. The fridge that had been installed in 1989 finally broke. Two days before the new one came I moved the old one out of the way to clean and realized my floor was squishy. I removed the flooring and found de-laminating plywood subfloor that had gotten wet at some point. That was the day I started my kitchen reno. I demoed the old subfloor, installed new plywood, then concrete backer board and tile. Grouted the tile the next day, and the new fridge went in the day after that. I'm tired just thinking about it......See MoreHelp, We are building and I am looking for this tile and range hood.
Comments (32)It does really help to see the whole kitchen. I am also one of those that does not care for the smaller tiles - no matter what pattern. It's just a personal preference. I don't think it matters so me that the entire kitchen is white (I happen to love white kitchens), I just find those small busy patterns to be distracting rather than appealing. I dunno why...it's just me. I think subway tile is wonderful, honed marble is stunning, tumbled too. I also love solid glass backsplashes. But I know my tastes are more muted than many, so I am trying to take that into account when I see posts like this. :-) And to be perfectly honest, since I have been visiting this forum (less than a year) I have noticed that my tastes are expanding a bit. That said, it is SO helpful to see the entire kitchen. I can understand the desire to have more visual interest given the wider all-white pic. But that island print - yeah no. LOL....See MoreI'm looking for a plain white subway tile that has a nice chair rail.
Comments (7)Walker Zanger 6th Avenue has a white gloss but not sure how white it is as I was focused on finding a blue. This is Walker Zanger's more "affordable", "quick ship" line from what I've been told and more affordable than most Pratt & Larson for example which I also looked at. (I'm using the WZ pale sky gloss in a 6" hex for a bathroom project that has yet to begin.) It has lovely mouldings and does have bullnose pieces. However, the mouldings are expensive, even in this more "affordable" line. Luckily I don't need any of the molding pieces. https://www.walkerzanger.com/collections/products.php?view=mat&mat=6th+Avenue&coll=6th+Avenue You could also consider Sonoma Tilemakers Stellar Quickship Collection which is also "affordable". In the Steller Quickship line, there is a "Blanco" gloss which is white (can't remember how white it is though) and there are lovely mouldings and bullnose to choose from. My mom used the 4x8 bossy gray from this line for her bathroom backsplash, including bullnose pieces. https://sonomatilemakers.com/stellar-quickship/ If you have more money to spend, Sonoma Tilemakers' regular Stellar line (not the quickship) has "Pure white" in addition to "Blanco" and even more liners and mouldings to choose from. https://sonomatilemakers.com/stellar/ To give you an idea of pricing, for me, the WZ 5th avenue 6" hex is approx $24/sq ft (w/o contractor discount) or $19.50/sq ft w/discount. The WZ 3x6 bullnose is approx $9.50 per piece (w/o discount) and base moulding is approx $21 per 4x8.5" piece (w/o discount). Sonoma Stellar Quickship (for the bossy gray color at least) was approx $18/sq ft for the 4x8's (w/o contractor discount or $14.50 w/discount) and $25.50/sq ft for a non-quickship glaze (w/o contractor discount)....See MoreBarbara Davis

5 years agoBeautiful tile! I didn’t want mirrored for my backsplash. (The fingerprints and shine probably would have driven me crazy.) I went for the same color scheme just non mirrored.
Cepac Tile — Midtown tile. Skyline is the color. (The color isn’t overly true and my grout lines aren’t as big.)
i haven’t moved in yet … I can’t wait to just stare at my blue backsplash all day long!

4 years agoNot a great pic … and the under cabinet lighting isn’t right yet. But here is a pic! (I promise you it is more blue in person. Pics aren’t a great representation.)
My kitchen island is blue … so it all ties together.
