Tile Collection Chicago 8x16 Tile State Street

No city in America is more closely associated with brick than Chicago — from Prohibition-era speakeasies on Rush Street to the manufacturing centers of the west side, brick is a celebrated piece of the Windy City's architectural heritage. The Chicago Collection recreates that authentic look and feel in a durable porcelain tile, with a rich, timeworn visual that brings urban character indoors and out.

This 8x16 size offers a larger-format brick-look tile in the State Street colorway, well suited to bathroom and kitchen floors, laundry rooms, and living spaces. Through-body, unglazed porcelain construction with substantial (V4) shade variation delivers an authentic, worn-brick look, and a slip-resistant DCOF rating over .60 makes it a solid choice for floor applications.

Is 8x16 field tile different from the 8x16 XL version I've seen referenced elsewhere?
Yes — some suppliers list a separate "XL" designation for Old Chicago and South Side at this size. Confirm with your rep whether State Street follows the same standard or XL naming before ordering.

Why does this require a special request for delivery time?
Unlike some sizes in this collection that are more routinely stocked, this one is made to order by special request — build extra lead time into your project schedule.

Can this handle heavy foot traffic in a commercial hallway?
A DCOF rating above 0.60 supports good slip resistance, and the collection's PEI 4 rating (per other sizes in this line) suggests it can handle residential through moderate commercial foot traffic — confirm PEI rating specifically for this size before a heavy-commercial spec.

Does State Street tile have the "Chicago" name stamped on select pieces, like other colors in this collection?
Some sources note the "Chicago" branding appears on a small percentage of 4x8 pieces specifically — check with your supplier on whether that detail carries over to the 8x16 format.
