Tush blue tiles

Description

The Tush Blue is a sophisticated porcelain tile that captures the rugged elegance of natural stone with a contemporary “cool-tone” palette. It is characterized by:

• Color Depth: A base of deep slate blue and charcoal, accented by lighter azure veins and oxidation-like flecks that mimic natural mineral deposits.

• Textural Finish: Typically features a matte or “natural cleft” finish, providing a tactile, non-reflective surface that feels organic underfoot.

• Shading Variation: High V3-V4 variation, meaning each tile has a distinct pattern. This ensures that a large installation—like a pool deck or patio—looks like authentic quarried stone rather than a repetitive print.

Technical Specifications

• Material: High-density, vitrified porcelain.

• Durability: Engineered for heavy foot traffic, making it suitable for both residential walkways and commercial outdoor spaces.

• Weather Resistance:

  • Frost-Resistant: The low porosity (water absorption < 0.5%) prevents cracking in freezing temperatures.

  • UV-Stable: The deep blue pigments are kiln-fired into the porcelain, ensuring they won’t fade or “yellow” even under harsh, direct sunlight.

• Safety (Slip Resistance): Generally carries an R10 or R11 slip rating, providing the necessary grip for wet areas like pool surrounds.
