Cloud White Glossy Fina Ceramic Accent Tiles 3×6

Fina is the 3×6 ceramic accent tile in the Cloud White group, the size most people picture when they think of a tiled splashback. Forty pieces fill a box and cover 4.8 square feet, the most efficient box of the whole family.

A size that behaves

There is a reason this format has lasted. It runs in a stack, a half offset or a herringbone without argument, and cuts land in predictable places. The glaze is a flat fired white with rounded edges and a 3/8 inch body, matching the larger sizes made in the same colour so a border can change scale without changing tone. Nothing about the size is fashionable or unfashionable, which is part of why it keeps turning up in kitchens.

• Layout friendly Stack, offset or herringbone all work from the same box.
• Shared colour 4×7 1/2 in this white lets a scheme move between scales.

Kitchen splashbacks

Backsplash is the usage recorded, kitchen the room. A splashback is where cutting matters most, around sockets and switches and under a hood, and ceramic tiles score and snap without a wet saw for the majority of those cuts. Coverage runs 0.12 square feet a piece and 4.8 a box, so 60 square feet with 15 percent for waste needs 15 boxes.

• Efficient box 4.8 square feet a box, the highest coverage among these sizes.
• Cuts on a bench Most splashback cuts come off a hand cutter rather than a saw.

Why we chose it

• Proven format 3×6 suits nearly every layout a splashback might take.
• Fewer boxes Better coverage per box than the other shapes in this white.
• Simple aftercare A glazed face resists kitchen splashes and needs no sealing.

Care

Grease responds to a household tile cleaner rather than to scrubbing. The glaze itself is stain resistant, so nothing needs sealing, and drying the face after cleaning stops water marks.
