Plus One Series: Chalk 12" x 24" (8mm) Porcelain Tile

The "Ethereal Earth" Finish While standard industrial tiles can feel cold and sterile, the Plus One Chalk 12 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 smooth, architectural format and a chalky, 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 Chalk Tile. Designed as a versatile "foundation" stone for modern architecture, this porcelain slab is a masterpiece of tonal balance. It captures the essence of raw gypsum and sun-bleached limestone, featuring a pristine palette of crisp white, muted parchment, and subtle chalky undertones.

The Plus One Chalk is engineered to create "calm" architectural surfaces. With its functional 12x24 dimensions and streamlined 8mm thickness, it offers a lightweight yet incredibly durable solution for both floors and walls. The Matte Chalk finish—a velvety, non-reflective glaze—amplifies the tile's clean lines, creating a sense of expansive brightness 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.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: SUBSTRATE PREPARATION: Because of the 8mm profile and light color, any "bumps" in the subfloor will be felt and potentially visible. Ensure the floor is level to within 1/8" over 10 feet. Use a Large-and-Heavy-Tile (LHT) mortar to ensure full coverage and a perfectly flat finish.

Professional Recommendations:

• Recommended Grout: Use a high-quality High-Performance Grout in "Avalanche" or "Bright White" for a seamless look, or a "Silver" grey to subtly define the rectangular grid.

• The 33% Offset Rule: When laying 12x24 tiles in a staggered pattern, do not exceed a 33% offset to prevent "lippage" and ensure a smooth walking surface.

• Adhesive Selection: Use a White Thin-Set only. Using a grey mortar behind "Chalk" white porcelain can sometimes subtly shadow through or stain the grout lines.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is the "Chalk" color hard to keep clean? No. Unlike real chalk or porous stone, this is a glazed porcelain. Spills and dirt sit on the surface and can be easily wiped away with standard pH-neutral cleaners. It does not absorb stains.

Can I use this on my shower walls? Absolutely. The 12x24 format is a classic choice for showers. The 8mm thickness is particularly well-suited for wall applications as it places less stress on the vertical substrate.

Is it too slippery for a bathroom floor? The matte "Chalk" finish provides a natural level of slip resistance that is superior to polished tiles. It is a safe and popular choice for dry bathroom floors and general living areas.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• The "Seamless" Backsplash: Use these tiles in a stacked (grid) pattern for a kitchen backsplash. The 12x24 size means very few grout lines, creating a clean, modern look that mimics a solid slab.

• Monochrome Modernity: Pair with light oak flooring and white oak cabinetry. The "Chalk" tile provides a tonal bridge that makes the entire room feel airy and expansive.

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