MSI Renzo Jade Picket: A Fusion of Serenity and Geometry
Elevate your space with the tranquil beauty of the MSI Renzo Jade Picket 2.5 x 13. Part of the celebrated Renzo Collection, this tile features a soft, translucent green hue that evokes the soothing tones of natural jade stone. The elongated picket shape (sometimes called a "double-pointed hexagon") provides a sophisticated, rhythmic look that can be installed vertically to make ceilings feel taller or horizontally for a modern, expansive feel.
With its handcrafted look and high-gloss finish, the Renzo Jade Picket catches and reflects light beautifully, creating a dynamic surface that changes throughout the day. This ceramic tile is the perfect choice for those looking to add a "pop" of color and architectural interest to kitchen backsplashes, shower walls, and fireplace surrounds.

🧼 Maintenance & Care Notes
One of the greatest benefits of the Renzo Jade Picket is how easy it is to maintain compared to natural stone.
-
Routine Cleaning: Simply wipe down with a damp cloth or sponge using a pH-neutral household cleaner. The glossy glaze is non-porous, making it naturally resistant to stains and bacteria.
-
Avoid Abrasives: While ceramic is durable, using steel wool or highly abrasive scouring pads can eventually dull the high-gloss finish. Stick to soft microfiber cloths.
-
Grout Care: Since this is a wall tile, soap scum or kitchen grease can settle in the grout lines. Using a stain-resistant grout or a grout sealer will keep your installation looking brand new.
-
No Sealing Required: Unlike marble or slate, the Renzo Jade ceramic body and glaze are impervious to moisture and do not require periodic sealing.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I install the Renzo Jade Picket vertically? A: Yes! Installing picket tiles vertically is a major design trend. It creates a "reeds" or "bamboo" effect that draws the eye upward, making kitchens or bathrooms feel much more spacious.
Q: Is there color variation between the tiles? A: The Renzo collection features V2 (Slight Variation). You will notice subtle differences in the "pool" of the glaze, which gives the tile its sought-after handcrafted, artisanal look rather than a flat, machine-made appearance.
Q: Can this be used for a shower floor? A: No. This is a glossy ceramic wall tile. It is not rated for floor use as it would be too slippery when wet and is not designed to withstand the weight-bearing requirements of flooring.
Q: What grout color goes best with Jade? A: For a seamless, spa-like look, choose a Light Grey or Off-White grout. If you want to emphasize the unique picket shape, a Bright White grout will provide a crisp, geometric contrast.
Q: Is the tile "crackled"? A: No, the Renzo Jade has a smooth, solid glossy finish. If you are looking for a crackle finish, you would need a different series; Renzo is designed for a clean, translucent look.
