Salt Cave floor-and-wall tile is the first introduction of a Himalayan Salt replication on porcelain tile and ceramic tile surfaces. An unusual media for design, when applied to a floor tile or wall tile surface it expands on traditional Onyx or Sandstone looks. Salt Cave tile is a designer's dream: 12” x 24” porcelain floor tile, ceramic glossy wall tiles in 4” x 12”, 10” x 22” and 10” x 30” formats, decorative glossy wall tiles ‘Onda’ in 10” x 22” and ‘Razor’ in 10” x 30” glossy, and beautiful mesh-mounted mosaic tile options in either 2” x 2” or 2” Hexagon. Trim rounds out the series. All formats come in four contemporary colorways: White, Bone, Grey and Blue. Salt Cave is rated for all applications, and we recommend a minimum grout joint of at least 3/16” for pressed tiles.
