Tile Collection Memory Oak Caramel 8x40 Field Tile

Memory Oak Caramel is a color-body porcelain plank made to look like oak. The surface has soft, wavy grain and knots with a light three-dimensional texture, so it reads like real wood underfoot without the upkeep. It's made in the USA.

At 8x40 with rectified edges, it gives you the long, clean plank look of hardwood with tight, consistent grout lines. The matte finish has a DCOF of 0.42 or higher (wet) and is rated for interior wet areas. That makes it a fit for kitchens, baths and laundry rooms as well as living spaces, and it works on walls too. Shade variation is V2, so expect a slight, natural difference from plank to plank.

For install, keep the offset at 33% or less. Long planks have a slight natural bow, and a shorter offset keeps lippage down. Use a large-format tile mortar and a leveling system, and blend from several cartons as you go. The collection has no matching trim, so plan on a metal edge profile for finished edges and transitions.

Memory Oak Caramel also comes in a Chevron plank and a grooved Spa plank in the same 8x40 size. You can mix them for a pattern floor or a textured accent wall.

What's the difference between nominal and actual size?
The tile is sold as 8x40, but each plank measures 7-3/4" x 39-3/8". Use the actual size when planning layouts and cuts.

Can I use this in a bathroom?
Yes. It's rated for interior wet areas, so bathroom floors and shower walls are fine. For a sloped shower floor, a smaller format usually works better.

What offset pattern should I use?
Keep the stagger at 33% or less. A half-offset on long planks tends to cause lippage.

Is there matching trim?
No. Use a metal edge profile or bullnose from another line for exposed edges and transitions.

Does Caramel come in other styles?
Yes. There's a Chevron plank and a grooved Spa plank in the same color and size.
