Product details
Meridian Cobalt is a 2 inch by 2 inch porcelain tile from the NPT Meridian Collection. The line pairs a considered color palette with lively texture running through the face, so a wall reads as varied rather than flat. Three sizes are offered across the collection, which lets the same design carry from a waterline into a spa or a water feature.
Why porcelain
Porcelain is the only tile type recommended for pools, spas and water features. The difference is quality rather than category: the clay is purer and more refined, which makes the finished tile tougher, denser and far less permeable. With water absorption under 0.5 percent, porcelain resists staining and holds up through freeze cycles that would damage a more porous tile. This one is rated frost proof and chemical resistant.
How it is sold
One sheet covers one square foot, and the tile is sold by the square foot only. Full cases run 20 square feet, made up of 20 sheets, and that figure is listed for reference rather than as a required order quantity. Matching 1x1 and 1x2 tile is available in the same design.
Before installation
This tile is subject to wide shade variation. Lay the sheets out dry and inspect the actual shade you have received before setting any of it, because use constitutes acceptance.
