Tile Collection Chicago 3x3 Mosaic Tile South Side

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 3x3 mosaic format brings the Chicago brick-look color and texture to a small-scale tile in the South Side colorway, well suited to backsplashes, accent walls, and detail work where a mosaic pattern adds visual interest. Through-body, unglazed porcelain construction with substantial (V4) shade variation delivers an authentic, worn-brick look.

Why is this sold by the carton rather than by the sheet?
Mosaic sheets at this scale are typically allocated and shipped in fixed carton quantities from the manufacturer — ordering by carton keeps the production run consistent for shade matching.

Is 3x3 mosaic durable enough for a kitchen backsplash behind a stove?
Through-body porcelain holds up well to heat and grease exposure typical of a backsplash area, making it a solid choice for that application.

How does a 5-carton minimum translate to square footage?
5 cartons at 6.46 sq. ft. each comes to roughly 32.3 sq. ft. total — plan your project size with that minimum in mind before ordering.

Does mosaic tile need a different mortar than larger-format tile?
Smaller mosaic pieces sometimes call for a modified thin-set with better initial grab — check with your mortar manufacturer for a product suited to small-format, low-weight tile.
