Mirage Ruche | Italian Porcelain Wall Tile
The Ruche (or “hive” in French) offers a new take on the honeycomb style hexagon. By blending different surface structures and glazes in each color, Mirage has added a delightful textural element to this popular geometric shape. The Blanc color is a combination of different shades in glossy and matte (roughly 70%glossy and 30% matte) on top of 6 different surface textures. The same 6 textures appear in the Noir color but with matte, glossy and metallized glazes - about 20% metallic and roughly equal parts in the other two finishes. Although Ruche is intended mainly for walls please see usage below for more specific recommendations.

Usage
Ruche is intended mainly for walls, see information about each color for more specific recommendations.
Blanc is suitable for walls and residential floors.
Noir is suitable for walls and may be suitable for some low traffic floors but it should be noted that, as with all dark glazes (especially glossy ones), it may be subject to scratching and the metallic glaze is not acid resistant, so abrasives should be avoided and only neutral cleaners should be used.

Installation
Since this material is a complex blend of finishes and textures, it is very important to blend tile within each carton and from multiple cartons during installation. We strongly recommend doing a dry layout of the area before setting the tile to make sure you are getting the desired effect. Due to the production technique, tiles may not be perfectly flat which adds to the handcrafted look and feel of the product. A minimum grout joint of 3/32” is recommended.
Due to the nature of this special blend, orders must be for full boxes only. Please note that we do not accept returns in general. In the rare occurrence that we make an exception and do take a return of this product, only factory sealed full boxes can be accepted.
