The 2x2 Nero Straight Joint Matte Black Porcelain Tile is a small-format, square tile designed for use on a variety of interior and exterior surfaces. Composed of porcelain, a type of fired ceramic known for its exceptional durability and low moisture absorption, this tile offers a high degree of functionality alongside its aesthetic appeal.

Each tile measures 2 inches (50 millimeters) on a side and features a matte black finish that replicates the look of natural black marble. The matte finish reduces the visibility of light reflection, creating a more subdued and elegant appearance compared to glossy tile options.

These tiles boast a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, making them impervious to moisture penetration. This property contributes to their suitability for use in wet environments such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, and around showers. Additionally, the porcelain composition provides superior strength and scratch resistance, ensuring the tiles can withstand high foot traffic and maintain their appearance for extended periods.

The Nero Straight Joint Matte Black Porcelain Tile is categorized as a PEI 4 rating tile, indicating moderate abrasion resistance. This rating makes it suitable for light to moderate commercial applications and residential use in all areas, including high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens. For areas with exceptionally heavy foot traffic, a higher PEI rating tile may be recommended.

While these tiles can be used for exterior applications such as pool linings, ensuring proper freeze-thaw resistance specifications are met for your specific climate is crucial. Consult a tile installation professional to determine suitability for outdoor use in your region.
