Alloy Mint Matt 60x60cm Porcelain Tile

Both Alloy formats are sold by the pack and both cover the same 1.44m² — the matt 60 x 60cm comes 4 tiles to a pack (2.77 per m²), the semi-polished 60 x 120cm comes 2 tiles to a pack (1.39 per m²). Measure your area in square metres, add 10% for cuts and wastage, divide by 1.44 and round up. Each pack weighs 30kg either way.

It comes down to where it is going. The matt 60 x 60cm carries an R10 / PTV Shod +36 slip rating, which makes it the sensible choice for any floor — and the only one we would recommend for a wet room or shower. The semi-polished 60 x 120cm has no published slip rating, so we would keep it to walls, or to floors that stay dry. Many customers use both: the matt underfoot and the semi-polished on a feature wall in the same colourway, which gives you contrast without introducing a second material.

Alloy is a frostproof glazed porcelain rated for internal walls, internal floors and external walls, with an F4 wear rating suited to heavy domestic traffic — kitchens, hallways, living spaces and sheltered terraces. It gives you the look of oxidised metal with none of the drawbacks: it will not tarnish, dent, rust or need sealing, and the matt finish is properly slip-rated in a way real metal sheet never is.

V4 is the highest shade-variation grade, meaning tiles within the same pack differ markedly in tone and patination. On a metal effect that is entirely the point — oxidised metal is never uniform, and without the variation the surface would read as an obviously repeated print. Open several packs at once, dry-lay a run and shuffle the tiles before fixing so the darker and lighter patinas distribute naturally. A single sample will not show you the full range, so do come and see the whole thing in our Ascot showroom if you can.
