Emser Tile W32RAKUSI0312P26 Glazed Subway Tile 3x12

Product Description

The EMSER TILE W32RAKUSI0312P26 is a glazed ceramic subway tile in the Raku collection, measuring 3 inches by 12 inches. Inspired by the Japanese Raku pottery firing method, each tile features a handmade, hand-glazed finish that produces subtle variation in surface texture and color from piece to piece. The silver colorway delivers a cool, neutral tone suited to backsplashes, accent walls, and wet-area installations. Trade installers will note that the handmade nature of the product results in natural dimensional variation typical of artisan ceramic tile.

This tile is appropriate for residential and light commercial interior applications including kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, shower surrounds, and decorative accent courses. The 3-by-12-inch subway format works with standard grid, stacked, and offset running-bond layouts. The rich glazed surface adds depth and reflects light effectively in both natural and artificial lighting conditions. It is sold by the case and installed by tile setters and general contractors following standard thin-set methods.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tile setter following TCNA handbook guidelines and applicable local building codes. Use a polymer-modified thin-set mortar appropriate for glazed ceramic wall tile. Back-butter large-format or handmade tiles to ensure full coverage and minimize lippage caused by natural dimensional variation. Allow full cure of thin-set before grouting, and seal grout joints in wet areas per manufacturer recommendations.
