Frequently Asked Questions
Can these tiles be used on a shower floor?
No. The Urbano Ink tile carries a PEI rating of 0, which means it is rated for wall applications only and cannot withstand any foot traffic. Use it on shower walls, surround walls, or vertical wet areas — not on the shower pan or floor.
Do these tiles require sealing before or after installation?
No sealing is required. The glossy ceramic surface is non-porous, which means moisture does not penetrate the tile face. Standard grout joints may benefit from a grout sealer depending on the application, but the tile itself needs none.
How much material should I order for a typical backsplash project?
Each case covers 9.69 square feet. MSI recommends ordering at least 10% extra beyond your measured square footage to account for cuts at edges, outlets, and corners, as well as any breakage during installation. For a 30-square-foot backsplash, order at least 3.5 cases (4 cases is the safe round-up).
Are these tiles suitable for outdoor installation?
No. These are approved for interior applications only. Outdoor temperature cycling and freeze-thaw conditions can cause ceramic tiles rated for interior use to crack or delaminate.
What does GREENGUARD Certified mean for these tiles?
GREENGUARD Certification verifies that the tiles emit low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), meeting standards for healthier indoor air quality. This is relevant for enclosed bathrooms and kitchens where ventilation may be limited.
