Why Choose Sovana Mocha 18x18?

• The "Warm Neutral" Advantage: Unlike grey-toned tiles, the Mocha colorway adds immediate "visual heat" to a room, pairing beautifully with natural oak cabinetry and cream-colored upholstery.

• Low Maintenance Luxury: Enjoy the prestigious look of cross-cut travertine without the worry of staining, scratching, or the need for annual stone sealing.

• Slip-Resistant Safety: The matte surface and DCOF rating make it a secure choice for families with pets or elderly residents, especially in moisture-prone areas.

• Versatile Sizing: The 18x18 format is large enough to minimize grout lines in medium-sized rooms but fits perfectly in tighter spaces like hallways and laundry rooms.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Grout Selection: For a seamless, monolithic stone look, choose a grout color that matches the field (e.g., "Mushroom," "Mocha," or "Taupe").

• Layout Pattern: While a standard grid is classic, consider a Diagonal (Diamond) layout or a Brick Bond (offset) to add a sense of dynamic movement to your floors.

• Adhesive: Use a standard polymer-modified thinset. Ensure the subfloor is level to prevent "lippage" (uneven tile edges).

• Cleaning: No specialized stone soaps are required. Simply clean with a pH-neutral household cleaner and a damp mop.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can this be used on walls? A: Absolutely. It makes a beautiful, high-impact wainscoting or a floor-to-ceiling shower surround.

Q: Is it suitable for high-traffic entryways? A: Yes, its PEI 4 rating means it is specifically designed to handle heavy foot traffic without showing wear or losing its finish.

Q: How many tiles come in a box? A: Standard packaging for 18x18 tiles typically includes 7 to 8 pieces, covering approximately 15.75 to 18 square feet.
