Rondine Ardesie Taupe is an Italian-crafted porcelain tile that faithfully reproduces the cleft texture and warm, layered tones of natural slate in a durable, low-maintenance format. Its palette of blended grays, beiges, and soft browns creates a grounded, earthy aesthetic that brings organic warmth to modern and transitional spaces.

The 12×24 tile is finished with a structured matte surface rated R11 for slip resistance, providing reliable grip underfoot in wet environments while still delivering a refined, stone-like visual. Its large rectangular format installs efficiently, reduces grout lines for a cleaner look, and works seamlessly in straight-set or 1/3 offset layouts.

This tile is ideal for bathroom floors, shower floors, kitchen floors, covered outdoor terraces, and feature walls where a natural slate aesthetic is desired without the maintenance demands of real stone. As a clearance or specialty item, we recommend ordering a sample first to confirm the color reads correctly in your lighting conditions, and ordering 10–15% overage to account for cuts.

Free Shipping: This product ships at standard freight rates calculated at checkout based on your location and order size.

Processing & Delivery: Orders are processed within 2–3 business days. Large orders ship via LTL freight — curbside delivery only. An adult must be present to sign for delivery. Estimated transit: 2–10 business days after shipment.

30-Day Returns: Uninstalled tile may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Inspect all tile carefully before installation — installed tile cannot be returned or exchanged. Samples are final sale.

Exclusions: Free shipping does not apply to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses. Additional charges may apply for remote delivery areas.

Sealing: Porcelain tile is non-porous and does not require sealing. The grout joints, however, should be sealed with a penetrating grout sealer upon installation and resealed every 1–2 years in wet areas such as showers and bathrooms.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral tile cleaner and a damp mop or soft cloth. Avoid acidic or alkaline cleaners, bleach-based products, and steel-wool scrubbers that can damage the surface texture. The structured R11 texture may trap fine grit, so sweep or vacuum regularly to prevent surface scratching from debris.

Installation: Use a large-format porcelain thinset mortar with a polymer additive for proper adhesion. Apply using a notched trowel appropriate for 12×24 tiles (typically 1/2-inch square notch) and back-butter each tile to achieve full coverage and prevent lippage. A 1/3 offset (running bond) pattern is recommended; avoid a 50% offset with large-format tiles as it can emphasize any floor flatness variation. Use tile leveling clips during installation to maintain consistent plane. Match grout joint width (1/16 to 1/8 inch) to the tile's rectified edge.

Important: Inspect all tile before installation. Variations in color, veining, and texture between pieces are natural characteristics of genuine stone — not defects. Order 10% overage for cuts, waste, and future repairs. Tile & Mosaic Depot specialists are available M–F 8:30AM–5PM PST at 855-797-8453.

Product & Installation Guidance

Natural stone is a product of the earth — every piece is one of a kind. A little planning ensures your finished installation looks its best and lasts for decades.

Natural Variation
Color, veining, texture, shade, movement, finish, and sizing vary from piece to piece. Product photos and samples are a general reference and may not match the exact material you receive. These variations are inherent characteristics of natural stone — they are part of its beauty, not defects.

Before You Install

  • Order roughly 10% extra to allow for cuts, waste, and future repairs.
  • Blend tiles from multiple boxes as you work to achieve the most natural, balanced appearance.
  • Dry-lay and inspect the full layout before setting a single tile.
  • Installation constitutes full acceptance of the product, so review everything carefully first.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer before and after installation, and re-sealed periodically in wet or high-traffic areas. Clean only with a pH-neutral stone cleaner; avoid acidic products, bleach, vinegar, and ammonia, which can permanently etch the surface. Outdoor installations may weather or change tone over time with exposure.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot is not responsible for improper installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, product misuse, or damage from improper handling, sealing, maintenance, or harsh chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements can be accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65: Some natural stone products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Order a Sample First

Seeing real stone in your own space — under your own light, beside your own finishes — is the best way to buy with confidence. We make it easy and affordable.

How It Works
Samples are just $7.99 each with free shipping, and they ship in 1–3 business days. Sizes vary by material and availability, typically ranging from 3"×3" up to 8"×8". Exact dimensions aren't guaranteed, but every sample is cut from the same material you'll receive in a full order.

What a Sample Shows
Samples help you evaluate the general color, texture, finish, and overall character of a product before committing to a full order. Because natural stone varies from piece to piece, your sample is representative — it may not capture the complete range of variation across an entire lot. For current lot photos, just ask our team.

Good to Know

  • Samples are final sale — non-returnable and non-refundable.
  • Ordering a sample before a full purchase is always recommended, especially for natural stone.
  • Planning a larger or custom quantity? Contact us for a tailored quote.
