Himiko

HIMIKO has a pleated fabric-like composition. The moody design consists of white, charcoal, and grey.

Maintenance & Guides
Maintenance: Porcelain tile is a relatively maintenance-free product that requires little continuing care beyond regular cleaning. Most cleaning can be done with a damp cloth and a gentle non-acidic soap. More resistant staining such as calcium spotting and soap scum can be handled using specially designed cleaning products such as Miracle Sealants Mira Clean product. Other manufacturers such as Stone Tech also offer products specially formulated for ceramic tile care. Take care to avoid “over the counter” ceramic tile cleaners that contain phosphoric and glycolic acids that could etch some ceramic tile surfaces.

Ready to Order?
1. Envision this amazing tile in your space. If your techy, play around with our visualizer tool, if your old school, print our "paper doll" tiles to play with layout the pattern repeat.
2. Order a sample! Color and tile details can be tough to translate on a screen. Grab a sample before making your tile dreams into reality.
3. Calculate square footage needed. We recommend adding an additional 20% to ensure you’ll have enough tile for your project due to cuts and other installation waste. Tile is made to order so there may be variation between batches. Better to have a bit of attic stock rather than pay your installer for a second visit!
We sell our tile by the box. Divide total square footage (including 10% waste) by 8 to get your box count.
4. PULL THE TRIGGER! Order the tile of your dreams and get ready to make everyone jealous of your new space. Have questions? We get it, reach out and we would be happy to help with anything you are on the fence about or to congratulate you on your rad selections.
Please note, cancellations are not allowed once orders have been glazed. While we do not accept returns, we do have a one-year warranty policy—check out the warranty section here!
Additional Information
How it's made
Made to order, just for you! Right here in the USA. 100% porcelain acts as a canvas for all of our 12”X12” tile.
Each tile is glazed upon ordering, using state-of-the-art printing technology to apply patterns and artwork. The pigment layer is then sealed with a topcoat glaze that adds an additional layer of durability and meets requirements for floor and wall installation. The tile is then fired at very high temperatures so the glaze and porcelain are fused into one.

Grout
Contrasting or blending?... that is the question. Either way you go, select a grout color that goes great with the tile and your space. We recommend sanded grout and a 1/8"-1/4" grout size.
TIP: Want colorful grout? Add grout pigment to a standard white base for fun colors and a cheaper alternative to rare premixed colorful grouts.
