Plus One Series: Ash 24" x 24" (8mm) Porcelain Tile

The "Ethereal Earth" Finish While standard industrial tiles can feel cold and sterile, the Plus One Ash 24 x 24provides a hyper-realistic, high-performance interpretation of refined mineral plaster and soft-matte stone. It is the premier choice for a "Soft Minimalist" or "Modern Scandinavian" aesthetic, prioritizing a massive, symmetrical format and a smoky, light-diffusing surface that elevates interiors to a serene, gallery-like status.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Immerse your space in the quiet, sophisticated beauty of the Plus One Ash Tile. Designed as a versatile "foundation" stone for modern architecture, this porcelain slab is a masterpiece of tonal balance. It captures the essence of volcanic dust and sun-bleached basalt, featuring a pristine palette of mid-tone grey, misty charcoal, and subtle stony undertones.

The Plus One Ash is engineered to create "calm" architectural surfaces. With its expansive 24x24 square dimensions and streamlined 8mm thickness, it offers a lightweight yet incredibly durable solution for large-scale flooring. The Matte Ash finish—a velvety, non-reflective glaze—amplifies the tile's clean lines, creating a sense of expansive depth that reacts beautifully to natural morning light. Crafted from high-density porcelain, it offers the prestige of custom architectural concrete with the zero-maintenance durability required for busy residential living.

KEY FEATURES

• Architectural "Ash" Matte: A specialized low-sheen finish that diffuses light evenly, eliminating glare and providing a soft, sophisticated backdrop.

• Symmetrical Square Format (24" x 24"): The oversized square shape visually expands rooms and creates a clean, contemporary "grid" with fewer grout lines.

• Streamlined 8mm Profile: An optimized thickness that makes installation easier while maintaining the structural integrity needed for high-traffic residential flooring.

• Rectified Precision Edges: Each tile is ground to exact dimensions, allowing for ultra-thin 1/16-inch grout jointsfor a modern, monolithic appearance.

• High-Performance Porcelain: Naturally non-porous, acid-resistant, and scratch-resistant—making it the ideal "worry-free" choice for kitchens, open-concept living areas, and master suites.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: SUBSTRATE FLATNESS: Because of the large 24x24 surface area and refined matte finish, any "waves" in the subfloor will be amplified. Ensure the floor is level to within 1/8" over 10 feet. Use a mechanical tile leveling system (clips and wedges) to ensure a perfectly flat, lippage-free surface.

Professional Recommendations:

• Recommended Grout: Use a high-quality High-Performance Grout in "Medium Grey" or "Warm Grey" for a seamless look. A matching grout color allows the 24x24 grid to vanish into a solid stone-floor appearance.

• Adhesive Selection: Use a premium Large-and-Heavy-Tile (LHT) mortar. Ensure full coverage on the back of each tile (back-buttering) to prevent hollow spots under these larger slabs.

• Grid Layout: For the most modern look, install in a "Stacked" (straight) grid pattern. This emphasizes the architectural symmetry of the 24x24 format.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Will the Ash color show footprints? The matte "Ash" finish is exceptionally forgiving. It hides dust, water spots, and daily footprints much better than polished or darker tiles, making it ideal for high-traffic households with pets or children.

Can I use this on walls? Absolutely. The 24x24 format creates a stunning, slab-like effect on shower walls or fireplace surrounds. The 8mm thickness makes it more manageable for vertical installations than traditional heavy slabs.

Is it too slippery for a kitchen? The matte "Ash" finish provides a natural level of slip resistance that is superior to polished tiles, making it a safe and popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• The "Seamless" Floor: By using a matching grout and 1/16" spacers, you can make the floor look like poured concrete. This is a hallmark of ultra-high-end "Soft Minimalist" design.

• Industrial Elegance: Pair with matte black hardware and white oak accents. The "Ash" tile provides a tonal bridge that makes the entire room feel grounded and expensive.

• Grout Haze Prevention: Because the matte finish has a slight texture, ensure the installer wipes the grout haze thoroughly during installation to keep the smoky grey surface looking crisp and clean.
