What is the color comparison between samples and shipment of 6 boxes: same as sample, or different?

However, the overall shade and finish will closely match the sample you received. For best results, it’s recommended to order all boxes from the same batch to ensure consistent color.

Do you have a recommendation, besides the bullnose, for finishing the top edge of this tile?

Besides the bullnose option, you can finish the top edge of the Vintage Subway Tile Aqua 3x12 using alternatives like a metal edge trim (such as Schluter), pencil trim, or a decorative mosaic accent strip. These options provide a clean and stylish transition while protecting the tile edges and enhancing the overall look of your installation.

How do I calculate square footage?

To calculate the square footage needed for your project, measure the length and width of the area in feet, then multiply them together (Length × Width = Sq. Ft.). Add about 10% extra to account for cuts and waste. For example, if your wall is 8 feet long and 5 feet high, that’s 40 sq. ft. total; adding 10% means you’ll need about 44 sq. ft. Since each box of Vintage Subway Tile Aqua 3x12 covers 4.85 sq. ft., you should order 10 boxes to complete the project.

Which grout color complements Vintage Subway Tile Aqua 3x12 best?

For Vintage Subway Tile Aqua 3x12, light-colored grouts work best. White or off-white creates a clean, classic look, light gray adds subtle contrast while keeping a soft vintage feel, and beige or sand tones enhance the rustic, distressed style. Avoid very dark grouts, as they can overpower the gentle aqua color.
