Blue Leather Barcelona Ceramic Accent Tiles 4×8

Barcelona is a blue ceramic accent tile at 4×8 with a leather finish, a surface that stops short of gloss and keeps a slight tooth to it. Style is recorded as rustic, and pieces sell individually rather than by the box, each covering 0.22 square feet.

Matte, but not flat

A leather finish sits between honed and glossy: light gathers on it softly instead of bouncing off, which suits a colour as strong as this blue. Nothing is printed, so the blue is the whole statement. Edges finish at 3/8 inch thick. Deep colours carry more visual weight than pale ones, so a small run of these ceramic tiles usually does more than a large one.

• Softer light Leather finish diffuses reflection rather than throwing it back.
• Sold singly Pieces are counted individually at 0.22 square feet each.

Rated for light floors

Residential light floors carries the rating here, with kitchen recorded as the room. Since these are sold by the piece, the count comes from dividing the area by 0.22 and adding a margin for cuts and breakage. Ceramic scores and snaps, so working around a corner or a fitting does not require special tooling.

• Count by piece Area divided by 0.22 square feet gives the piece count before waste.
• Order spares A few extra pieces cover breakage and any later repair.

Why we chose it

• Colour with restraint The leathered surface keeps a saturated blue from turning glassy.
• Simple cutting Ceramic bodies score and snap without a wet saw for most cuts.
• No sealing A glazed ceramic face needs no sealer at any point.

Care

A household tile cleaner and a cloth handle everyday marks. The finish is textured rather than smooth, so a soft brush helps in a corner where dirt gathers. No sealer is required.
