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

The "Ethereal Earth" Finish While standard industrial tiles can feel cold and sterile, the Plus One Chalk 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 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 expansive 24x24 square dimensions and streamlined 8mm thickness, it offers a lightweight yet incredibly durable solution for large-scale flooring. 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.

KEY FEATURES

• Architectural "Chalk" 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 "Avalanche" or "Bright White." A matching grout color allows the 24x24 grid to vanish into a solid, cloud-like floor appearance.

• Adhesive Selection: Use a premium White Large-and-Heavy-Tile (LHT) mortar. Using white mortar is essential behind "Chalk" tiles to maintain their bright, pure tonal value.

• 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 Chalk color show stains in a kitchen? No. Unlike real plaster or limestone, this is a non-porous porcelain. It does not absorb liquids like wine, coffee, or oils. Spills stay on the surface and can be wiped away easily.

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 10mm tiles.

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

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

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

• Monochrome Modernity: Pair with white oak flooring and light-toned cabinetry. The "Chalk" tile provides a tonal anchor 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.
