Bedrosians Cloe 5x5 Square Tile- pictures please
Comments (8)@Bivian Torres Thanks! I have been very happy with our bathroom project. Shower trim is Delta Trinsic in Champagne Bronze. We also have these faucets at the sinks, a tub filler, and towel hooks. Black cabinet hardware and black rimmed mirrors. We used Mapei White grout, it's a creamy white and we have not noticed it turning yellow. I do, however, squeegy my tile walls religiously after using the shower. :) I love the mix of patterns, textures, and finishes....See MoreWhat's the Matte equivalent of Bedrosian Cloe (White)?
Comments (20)Well, it occurred to me that I have samples of Makoto at home, so I tested them for cleaning! Here are the results. * Tested tiles: Makoto midori green & kumo gray, which are both matte. Also two glossy tiles for comparison - Cloe and Traditions (Bedrosians' basic subway tile). Test (1) Splashed them with water as they laid flat on my counter. I have hard water (my city is 240ppm if you want to compare). The green Makoto tile showed significant water stains when dried (yikes!), the gray Makoto looked a lot better. The glossy tiles looked fine overall but did have fingerprint smudges and water spots if you looked at from a certain angle. See first photo. Test (2) Soap scum and kid bath paint (the red spot you see on the tile). All the tiles showed those marks and all washed away equally well. The matte did not feel any harder to scrub than the glossy. Test (3) Put them in the shower in vertical position. This simulates the actual position they will dry in, which apparently made a big difference. The green Makoto now came out just fine! See second photo. Based on this, my conclusion is that matte tiles are harder to clean only if (1) you have hard water, (2) tiles are dark and (3) tiles lie horizontally on your floor. Knowing this now I will never use black tiles on floors!...See Morebedrosians cloe pink tile bathroom paint
Comments (2)Sorry that would be helpful! The vanity is this one but I might switch the hardware out. The shower fixtures are all a satin brass. The floor is a white penny tile. Just so many white choices it's overwhelming!!!...See MoreBedrosians Cloe Tile
Comments (4)We've chosen the rectangular Cloe tile in blue for our master bath redo, now in progress. The shower is 3' by 5', tiled up to the 9' ceiling. We chose an MTI one piece acrylic shower base for ease of cleaning. Our high-end contractor normally does tile shower bases, so this is new to them. Our floors will be smallish white hexagon tiles. Our prior white tiles were larger and a bit slippery. We did not consider large format tiles because, to me, they read modern, and I detest anything contemporary....See MoreBeth H. :
