- What is Willow Bend Smoky Brown made of?
- It is a porcelain tile from Daltile's Willow Bend line, finished in a smoky brown wood look. Porcelain makes it suitable for wet rooms and floors.
- How much does one box cover?
- Each box holds 9 planks and covers 13.05 sq ft. Measure your room and add about 10 percent for cuts and waste.
- Can it be used in a shower?
- Yes. Porcelain is water-resistant, so it works on shower floors and walls. The 6 in x 36 in plank needs a properly sloped, waterproofed substrate on a shower floor.
- Does it need a grout line?
- Yes. Leave a narrow grout joint between planks. Skipping grout causes chipping and cracking as the floor moves.
- Can it go over an existing concrete floor?
- Yes, if the slab is flat, dry and free of cracks. Check flatness first, since long planks show lippage at joints.
- How does it compare with vinyl plank?
- Porcelain is harder, more scratch-resistant and better in wet areas. Vinyl plank is warmer, lighter and easier to cut, but it dents and can peel.
