PRODUCT TITLE
Brickstone Ivory 2" x 10" Brick Pattern Porcelain Tile
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Achieve the timeless charm of reclaimed masonry with the modern durability of porcelain in our Brickstone Ivory 2x10 Tile. This collection perfectly captures the rustic texture and tonal variation of authentic brick, reimagined in a soft, creamy ivory palette. The elongated 2" x 10" "Thin Brick" format offers a sleek, contemporary update to the classic running bond pattern.
Unlike traditional clay brick, which is porous and difficult to clean, Brickstone Ivory is crafted from high-grade porcelain. This makes it impervious to water, stains, and fading, allowing you to bring the "exposed brick" look into high-moisture areas like walk-in showers, mudrooms, and kitchen backsplashes. Whether you are aiming for a Modern Farmhouse aesthetic or an Industrial Loft vibe, Brickstone Ivory provides a clean, neutral foundation with rich tactile depth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I install Brickstone Ivory in a herringbone pattern?
Absolutely. The 2x10 dimensions are perfect for a Herringbone pattern, which adds a high-end designer look to kitchen backsplashes or bathroom floors. It also works beautifully in standard offset (running bond) or vertical stack patterns.
Does this porcelain brick require sealing?
No. One of the greatest benefits of the Brickstone series is that it is a non-porous porcelain. While we recommend sealing your grout to prevent staining, the tile itself does not require the intensive sealing that real clay brick does.
What grout joint size is recommended for a realistic brick look?
To mimic authentic masonry, we recommend a 1/4" or 3/8" grout joint. Using a sanded grout in a "Warm Gray" or "Sand" tone will further enhance the realistic appearance of the brickwork.
Is this tile suitable for use behind a fireplace?
Yes. Porcelain is a fire-rated material that can withstand the heat of a fireplace surround. It is a popular choice for transforming dated brick fireplaces into modern focal points.
Can this be used on floors?
Yes, Brickstone Ivory is rated for residential floor use. Its textured surface provides excellent slip resistance, making it a great choice for entryways, mudrooms, and laundry rooms.
INSTALLATION TIPS
• Mix from Multiple Boxes: To ensure the most natural distribution of the "Ivory" tonal variations, always pull tiles from several different boxes during installation.
• Choose the Right Grout: A "Power Grout" or high-performance sanded grout is best for wider joints to prevent shrinking and cracking.
• Directional Lighting: To highlight the beautiful texture of the Brickstone series, consider using under-cabinet lighting or wall-washers to create soft shadows on the "tumbled" surface.
