Carlisle is a rectified Italian glazed porcelain tile that draws inspiration from Brazilian Quartzite. A most elegant quartzite stone look, this gorgeous porcelain tile series highlights granular warm veining and crystalline inclusions across four colorways: Ivory (‘Alabaster’), Taupe (‘Greige’), Grey (‘Silver’), and a very unique Pale Green (‘Wintergreen’). Tile formats include 12” x 24” rectangular tile and 24” x 24” large-format tile in both semi-polished lappato and matte finishes, along with mesh-mounted mosaics in exciting shapes: a staggered 2” x 3” brick joint and a 3” x 3.5” hexagon. Carlisle porcelain is rated for all residential and light commercial applications. For rectified tile, we recommend a minimum grout joint of at least 1/8”.
