The Flamenco Hale Navy 2"x18" is a sophisticated take on the "Moody Blues" design movement. Inspired by the depth of midnight waters and classic nautical palettes, this tile brings a high-end, tailored look to interiors.

The 2"x18" slim brick profile is a dramatic departure from the standard 3x6 subway tile, offering a sleek, linear look that is particularly effective at making a space feel more architectural.

Flamenco Hale Navy | 2" x 18" Glossy Porcelain Wall Tile

Command attention with the rich, saturated tones of Hale Navy. This premium porcelain tile offers a deep, blackened blue that serves as the perfect high-contrast anchor for any room. The High-Gloss finish is applied over an undulated (wavy) surface, creating a "liquid" effect where light dances across the dark glaze, preventing the deep color from feeling flat or heavy.

The elongated format allows for creative, modern layouts that can drastically change the perception of a room's height or width. Because it is made of high-density porcelain, it is an ideal choice for areas exposed to heavy moisture and steam, such as luxury walk-in showers or high-impact kitchen backsplashes.

Why Choose Flamenco Hale Navy?

• Timeless Navy Aesthetic: Hale Navy is a classic "anchor" color. It pairs flawlessly with white marble counters, light oak cabinetry, and especially "warm" metals like satin brass or copper.

• Reflective Depth: The high-gloss undulated surface ensures that the dark color still reflects plenty of light, adding a sense of dimension and "shimmer" to the wall.

• Modern Proportions: The 18-inch length provides a sophisticated, "custom-built" appearance that standard-sized tiles cannot replicate.

• Durable & Non-Porous: Unlike glass or ceramic, this porcelain body is incredibly tough and resistant to staining, making it easy to maintain in a busy kitchen environment.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Grout Selection: * Monolithic Look: Use a "Midnight Blue" or "Charcoal" grout to create a seamless wall of color.

  • Defined Pattern: Use a "Light Grey" or "Warm White" grout to highlight the unique linear shape of the 18-inch planks.

• Layout Design: This format is exceptional in a Vertical Stack (for a modern, fluted look) or a 1/3 Offset Horizontal (for a contemporary twist on traditional brickwork).

• Adhesive: Use a high-quality Non-Sag Wall Thinset. For dark tiles, ensure the installer is careful with clean-up to prevent "haze" on the polished surface.

• Care: Use a soft microfiber cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner. The glossy finish makes it easy to wipe away water spots or grease.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does it look black or blue? A: In low light, it appears as a very deep charcoal-blue, but under direct light (like under-cabinet lighting), the true, rich navy tones become vibrant and clear.

Q: Can I use this around a fireplace? A: Yes! Porcelain is heat-resistant and perfect for fireplace surrounds. The 2x18 format creates a stunning, modern hearth or feature wall.

Q: Is it suitable for a shower floor? A: No. This tile is rated for walls only. The high-gloss finish is too slippery for wet floor applications.

Q: How many tiles come in a box? A: Standard packaging for the Flamenco 2x18 series typically covers approximately 5.17 to 10 square feet per box. Always order 10-15% extra for cuts.
