My local floor store had zero problem sourcing it

Yes, Hexagon is a Web site

Let me see

It’s called Hexagoninteriors.com

Let me open another box of Sabbia, I’m not sure how these are packaged. Perhaps they’re done by the color variation. These might be the lightest. Let me ask the distributor

The distributor said that the tiles are all mixed together. So those should be representative. I can send a picture of my floor when it’s installed. Might be a few weeks-2 months. It’ll depend largely on your paint color and cabinetry and which direction your room is facing.

I’m going with a red white so I expect the Sabbia to look warmer than it does next to tile in that picture. To get it to look cool, you’d need to use a beige like the tile. Prob F&B Oxford Stone. If it’s all in a south facing room that whole scheme might end up looking yellow.

Here is Sabbia next to cool colors

The first picture above where it the tile looks the warmest, it is turned sideways so there is not as much reflected light on the tile so the color is more apparent. It might look that dark around dusk when no lights are on. I’m going to post pictures of different whites next to it with the color most exaggerated. And then I’ll stop. I love this stuff. Thanks for letting me share. I’m going with Megan’s grout recommendation. And I didn’t know about HM either. I found a picture of his with what I was thinking and that led me to do it! Thanks Megan and M Wynn. For taking my drooling 😛 to reality! Hope y’all post pictures when yours are all finished!

Blue whites on left and red whites on right with Sabbia. Yellow whites look good with Sabbia too! Have fun!

Hard to get accurate pictures.

Please share pictures of any completed projects. I am still deciding on the Avorio or Sabbia colour.

This is 16X24 Avorio. Kitchen is in progress. I have to say after laboring over the tile decision for months I unfortunately don't love them. They seem to have a pink hue in my house I cant seem to get my head around. Possibly becuase we came from a house with gray slate style tiles and I was use to that - completely different. We have had them over a month and so far they are easy to clean but do show everything. If you are concerned about keeping the grout clean these probably aren't the style tile for you. They are soft/nice under foot.

Thanks for sharing! I think your floors look fantastic. I am not picking up pink tones but I hope with counter tops etc they will grow on you.

Me too! :)

I agree! It is a beautiful tile. What paint color are you using? Mine will be finished with the next couple of weeks and I will post pictures of the Sabbia

Oddly enough, I think I’m going with light pewter grout same as Megan. Anyone have feedback on light pewter? Does it show dirt very easily?

Warning. I only received 90 tiles from Hexagon. I ordered and paid for 280.

Nevermind! I got 280 SF. I’ll post pics soon

Has anyone installed Ostuni in Tufo? I'd like to see some photos...

Someone posted a picture of Tufo earlier in the comments

Here is the Sabbia, ungrouted. At night under LED lights it looks very light. At mid-day it has a pink beige glow and the camera makes it look yellow but it doesn’t in person. It’s more red beige than yellow beige and is fairly light in value.

I love it! It’s the unrectified edges that make it look like tumbled stone. I went with Mapei Biscuit grout.

That’s great! So happy you are pleased with it. It looks great!! Yes it’s the tumbled edges that make it look like limestone.
My sabbia is still on a ship in the ocean!! Sb here in 4 weeks. 🤞

Enjoy!

Cleaning the Epoxy haze off. Went with Epoxy grout to avoid cleaning and a 1/16 grout line. I am so pleased. Enjoy!

And please post pictures after your paint color is finished

Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I will post my floor in the next month. It’s been laid and covered

Thank you. Look forward to seeing yours

I do wish I had done a random laying pattern like M Wynn. I was so concerned with the grout color and spacing, didn’t really think about it. I would have not staggered the tiles precisely. That makes it look more modern like the 12x24 tiles you see around.

This is an accurate Sabbia pic. Those I posted earlier were when I had the grout haze remover on and was listening to Wuthering Heights dreaming about living in England. I’m happy with it. Also happy that I went with Epoxy grout though if you’re considering the larger grout line and are a homemaker or have a cleaning service would probably stick with regular grout.

Beautiful! What do you mean about epoxy vs regular grout?

Thank you! Epoxy does not stain and doesn’t need to be sealed. It is harder to work with so a lot of tile guys do not promote it. But it’s much easier to keep clean. I don’t see any plastic type of appearance on that I used, but perhaps a wider grout line might show the plasticity of the epoxy. If you use it, you want to make sure to read all about it and make sure the tile guys do not treat it like regular grout, leave a haze like they would with traditional grout thinking that it’ll be easy to remove. They should do their best to clean the face of the tile directly after install and use an epoxy grout haze remover after 24 hours. It cures very quickly and is difficult to remove from any cabinets or tubs and so on.

Ok, thank you for that explanation--I love the idea of not needing sealed and doesn't stain but that is what we were told when our tile was installed with Mapei CQ grout and it left a terrible haze that several years later is still attracting dirt and in certain light, is still noticeable when not cleaned daily-to put that in perspective, most people likely do not mop their entire floor daily, it is about 1000 sq ft of tiled space on my 1st floor. We are getting new tile due to several cracking and it is discontinued. In order to avoid this grout haze again, I do not want the new tile installed with the grout we currently have.

I got down on hands and needs and scrubbed the haze off twice. I’d rather not have grout upkeep and put the work in early on. I still have more to do and with epoxy, if you leave the haze for longer than 24 hours, it will be harder to remove. I’m about to do a third round this weekend. I am happy to have gone with epoxy grout as cleaning and re-sealing is not my cuppa tea. I hope you share pictures of your completed project. I’m a contractor so like to see what homeowners have done and their perspectives. Please share!

A Mapei rep came out and said it was set. Some tiles (they were discontinued) were cracked so I need a whole new floor. Looking for another neutral one and I was hoping for the Sabbia or Avorio in the Versailles pattern but it may be out of budget considering the amount of demo that has to be done now since the tile floor was installed over Ardex...

Some others in this chat have mentioned other tiles they have been happy with which look similar to tumbled limestone. I hope you find something you really like

Thank you, I hope so also! Is Mapei CQ an epoxy grout?

I looked it up and it’s not. Says it has “similar characteristics to an epoxy grout.”

Hello - why wouldn't you use epoxy grout with larger grout lines? I'm planning to do 3/8 offset (so relatively large). I don't want the grout to look dirty, so it seems like epoxy might be the way to go? thanks for any tips here!

I would go for it personally. I’m just not recommending it or warning that it might have a different look from traditional grout. Have not seen it in larger spacing. Let us know how it turns out

Hi everyone. Since you have been so helpful with this Avorio tile I thought I'd hit you up for some more advise! Any backsplash tile suggestions?

The counter tops are Carrara Miksa MSI quartz. We inherited these cabinets when we bought the house. They were in excellent condition so have been trying to make them work. Im not 100% ruling out paint in their future!!

Is that Avorio? Looks very similar to Sabbia

I went with red based white in breakfast room and red beige in kitchen. Sabbia now I realize leans slightly green. When I was picking grout the darker I went the more I leaned towards Mappei Walnut which is a little green leaning. Not red based. Now that I have gone with red based whites and beige I see that perhaps green based whites and beige might be better. Perhaps Carrington Beige by Benjamin Moore. I had dupes made at Sherwin Williams of Farrow and Ball Dimity and Jitney and the dupes didn’t turn out to match the Farrow & Ball samples I had painted. They were off. I will post some pictures. I think light slightly red based but not too red or light beige slightly red based are ok. But the darker, green based.

Not sure red based is way to go. Here you can see. I would like to paint my cabinets too eventually. Please post pictures whatever paint colors y’all choose. I would like to see any green based whites and neutrals with Sabbia especially.

The last picture where there is a line in the far right corner unpainted, that is before the walls were painted with the red based white

Did anyone seal their grout? And how so if you did?

yes Avorio - Im also still struggling with a white as well. Tried F&B Ammonite per suggestion here - it was a bit too dark for my rooms.

What direction is your room facing? How much light do you have?

I’ve lived w the Sabbia long enough. It’s a taupe with violet and a cream with green undertones. Can look different depending on lighting. Would love to see pics of anyone’s paint colors. It’s ok if you don’t have a Humphrey Munson kitchen 😉 Please share!!! Thanks!
