MSI San Rio Rustic Gauged Slate Wall and Floor Tile 12"x12"

MSI San Rio Rustic Gauged Slate brings the raw beauty of Brazilian natural stone to kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and commercial spaces. With its dynamic blend of blues, grays, greens, and warm golds, each tile features one-of-a-kind character that creates visual interest without looking busy or pattern-heavy.

• Premium Material & Grade: Crafted from Brazilian slate selected at the highest quality standards with zero tolerance for defects or lower-grade stones.
• Gauged Surface: Uniformly calibrated to 0.3" thickness for consistent installation and easier grout coverage, eliminating the uneven surfaces that complicate layout.
• 12" x 12" Format: Versatile square size works for both residential and commercial applications, striking a balance between visual impact and installation practicality.
• Natural Finish with Low Sheen: The gauged surface retains the matte, understated elegance natural to slate without a polished or glossy appearance that can look artificial.
• Subtle Tone Variation: Random color variation within each tile ensures no two pieces are identical—creating depth and organic movement across large areas.
• Water Absorption: Between 0.5% and 3%, suitable for interior kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial dining areas. Not frost resistant, so ideal for climate-controlled indoor environments.
• GREENGUARD Certified: Meets both Indoor Air Quality and Children and Schools certification standards, making it safe for homes with kids and sensitive spaces like schools and offices.

This tile works beautifully on walls, floors, and even countertops, adapting to modern minimalist kitchens, rustic bathrooms, and professional commercial settings alike. The gauged surface simplifies installation while its matte finish resists fingerprints and shows less dust than polished slate, making maintenance more forgiving. Homeowners and designers choose slate for its durability in high-traffic spaces combined with a sophisticated, grounded aesthetic that never feels trendy or dated—a natural stone choice that anchors a space with quiet confidence.
