What is meant by shade?
Ceramic products become both beautiful and resistant when they are fired at very high temperatures. Due to the natural composition of the raw materials, the process generates slight differences shading. These are visually sorted during the manufacturing process and boxed with specific shades. Even within a single shade there can be slight or dramatic shade variation depending on the design of the series. Several new series are designed to have high shade variation to replicate products such as multicolor slate. Either way, the Tile Council of America recommends blending from 3 or more boxes before installation begins. This will always insure maximum satisfaction with your final product.
