Porcelain Stone Tile Shade & Texture Index

Shade & Texture Index

Due to the innate properties of ceramic tile, the exact coloring (shade) and texture of individual tiles will vary some degree from piece to piece, and between each production run.

AHF Products offers tile collections with shade variations ranging from V1, Uniform Appearance, to V4, Substantial Variation, to satisfy a broad range of design needs.

These shade variations have been developed to assist you with selecting the desired look for your tile project. Whenever possible, we recommend reviewing several individual tiles from the same production run to determine acceptable shade and texture variation. Any questions or concerns about your tile selection should be clarified prior to installation.

Inspect products upon delivery and for best results, blend tile from several cartons during installation.

V1:Differences among pieces from the same production run are minimal.
V2:Clearly distinguishable differences in texture and/or pattern within similar colors.
V3:While the colors and/or textures present on a single piece of tile will be indicative of the colors and/or textures to be expected on the other tiles, the amount of colors and/or texture on each piece may vary significantly. It is recommended that the range be viewed before selection
V4:Random color and/or texture differences from tile to tile, so that one tile may have totally different colors and/or textures from that on other tiles. Thus, the final installation will be unique. It is recommended that the range be viewed before selection.
