Mallorca White Ceramic Tile 4x4

What is the grout color in the photo of the kitchen w/stacked white 4x4's with a decorative strip of 2x8? Are the 2x8 tiles green or blue?

Hello,
We recommend using Laticrete Bright White Permacolor grout. We have 2x8 in the same color pallette as 4x4s. 
Thanks!

What is minimum grout joint for square Mallorca tile? Hoping for something that will closely mimic the tight spacing of true zellige tile….understand grout is necessary, just want the minimum amount possible. Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for your question. 3/16'' is recommended, but some people go as little as 1/8''. Please consult your tile contractor for the best results. 

Thank you.

Do the Mallorca White Ceramic tiles come with color variation or are tey all the same color? I'm hoping for a bit of variation for depth but am not sure if that is possible. Thanks!

There is a slight color variation from tile to tile in our Mallorca collection - combined with the unique surface texture, it helps to give the tile its handmade look. Due to the light white hue and the pearlescent glaze, the color variation of the Mallorca White is subtle compared to the other colors in this collection.

Since all of our Mallorca ceramic tiles are sold by the box, you can lay out your tiles before applying your thinset to make sure you like the color variation and placement before adhering them to your wall.

Do you have to grout this tile or can you install it in grouted?

With the exception of certain groutless tiles or Peel and Stick tiles, you will need to install all traditional tiles with spacers and apply grout once the thinset has cured. Grout lines are essential for the lifetime wear of your tiles, as grout helps keep water or other materials from seeping into any spaces between the tiles and damaging your drywall or backing, and it provides slight flex space that reduces the potential for cracks over time as houses settle.

For these glazed ceramic tiles, we recommend a non-sanded grout - we show the Mallorca White square tiles on our website with the Bright White grout color. The best way to keep your grout clean and reduce maintenance is to apply a penetrating sealer regularly to help keep the color bright and reduce stains and scrubbing. 

Does this come in sheets or are they individual tiles?

These are individual ceramic square tiles - Mallorca White is sold by the box with 50 pieces of 4"x4" tile that will cover approximately 5.28 sq ft. We do carry ceramic mosaic tile sheets (connected by a mesh backing) but tiles of this size/shape are typically placed individually to allow more control over the layout and design!

The white in the pictures seems to be metallic. Is it just glossy or does the color have a slight metallic effect as well?

The Mallorca tiles do have a slightly pearlescent sheen to the finish - you can see a comparison of the Mallorca white and the glossier La Riviera tiles we carry in this video!

Is the surface uneven? Are the edges straight? Would like to put as thin of grout as possible

These tiles are designed to have a handmade look, so they do not have straight edges. 
We recommend ordering 1 or 2 samples first so you could have a good picture of how the product looks like

What is the thickness of this tile?

Thank you for your question! Our Mallorca ceramic tiles are approximately 5/16" thick - there may be a slight thickness variation from tile to tile due to the textured surface of these zellige-style tiles to acheive the handcrafted look.

What would you suggest as some floor tile options to go with Mallorca 4x4 tiles?

This is a great question, but we could use a little more context to give you the best match! Is this in a bathroom, a shower, a mudroom, a kitchen? Our Esagona wood-look hexagon tiles are a great choice to pair with the Mallorca tiles and can work in any application, including wet areas.
