Every tile in this range states a finish, and across the sixty product pages that statement is written thirteen different ways. Seven of the thirteen name one finish. Five name two at once, and two of those five are the same statement with a slash where the other has the word. The thirteenth is the site recording that the supplier documentation states nothing. This page lists all thirteen, and shows where the wording on a product page and the word that files the tile into a collection stop saying the same thing.
The finish is written thirteen ways across sixty pages
Read on 28 August 2026, the finish line in the supplier's own specifications list reads, across the range:
-
Matton twenty tiles; -
Glosson fourteen; -
Polished or soft polishedon six; -
Polished or matton five; -
Soft polishedon four; -
Roughon three; -
Texture and honedon two; -
Matt or roughon one; -
Matt / roughon one; -
Gloss or matton one; -
Honedon one; -
Flutedon one; -
Not specifiedon one.
Two words cover thirty-four of the sixty. Four more wordings cover another eighteen. The last eight tiles write something only one or two others in the range write, and those are what the rest of this page is about.
Two tiles state the finish outside the ordinary row
Carrara Petite Herringbone Mosaic Tile is the one page whose supplier list carries no finish line at all. It states a sheet size and a piece size and stops. The page does not leave a hole where the finish would be: the panel adds a Finish row of its own reading Not specified, and that row appears on this page and on no other in the range. The mosaic tiles and white tiles pages already record that one product among them has no finish recorded; this is that product. What what to confirm before choosing sets out about a blank field applies here — the supplier documentation does not state it, which is not the same as the tile not having one.
Studio Flat Subway Tile does state a finish, but not under the heading the other fifty-nine use. Its supplier list is headed Finish family, and it is the only tile in the range headed that way. The value is Gloss or matt. The subway, wall and white tiles pages already note that one tile records its face as gloss or matt. What none of them says is that this tile is filed under no finish at all, for a reason that has nothing to do with the heading.
Five wordings name two finishes at once
Haven In/Out Terrazzo-Look Tile writes Matt or rough. Haven Pebble In/Out Terrazzo-Look Tile writes Matt / rough, the same statement with a slash where the other has the word. Studio Flat Subway Tile writes Gloss or matt. Six marble-look tiles write Polished or soft polished, and five more write Polished or matt.
The outcomes differ. The two Haven tiles are counted once in the matt collection and once in the rough one, which both of those pages already say of themselves. The eleven marble-look tiles naming two finishes are filed under both: one place from the Finishing row, and a second in polished finish tiles, which files from the Style row. Studio Flat is counted in neither the gloss collection nor the matt one. None of those pages says which of the two finishes arrives in a box.
Honed now stands alone on exactly one supplier list
Three tiles are described as honed. Atlas Frost Stone-Look Tile and Atlas Ivory Stone-Look Tile both write Texture and honed; Pietra Perla Marble-Look Tile writes Honed and nothing else. Checked against all sixty supplier lists, that third tile is the only place the shorter word stands on its own — when this page was first written there was no such tile, and the claim that honed never stood alone here has since been overtaken by a product.
The site uses the shorter word anyway, three times over on the two Atlas pages. The Finishing row reads Honed. The collection listed on all three pages is honed finish tiles, which now holds three. And that collection's page title, the line a search result shows, opens Honed Tiles. On the Atlas pair the supplier wrote one phrase and the shop keeps three shorter versions of it.
Five words do the filing, and a sixth collection files from somewhere else
Every product page carries a second finish row, labelled Finishing. It is on all sixty, and it holds seven values rather than thirteen: matt on twenty-five, gloss on fourteen, soft polished on ten, honed on three and rough on three; two pages carrying a single value written Matt, Rough; and three reading Check current finish.
Those same five words name five collections. Read on 28 August 2026, matt finish tiles lists twenty-seven, gloss finish tiles fourteen, soft polished finish tiles ten, rough finish tiles five and honed finish tiles three.
A sixth collection sits alongside them, and it is not filled from the Finishing row. Polished finish tiles lists eleven. On every one of the eleven the Finishing row reads Matt or Soft polished; the word Polished appears in the Style row instead. Five of the eleven are also in matt finish tiles and the other six are also in soft polished finish tiles, so not one of them is only there.
Across the six that is seventy places held by fifty-seven tiles. Thirteen tiles take two places each — the two Haven tiles, counted once in matt and once in rough, and the eleven above — and Studio Flat, Carrara Petite Herringbone and Pietra Vela Fluted take none.
So a page holds two records of the finish, not three, and they are filled in separately. One is the supplier's wording, where thirteen forms are possible. The other is a five-word list the shop keeps, and that list drives the Finishing row and five of the six finish collections. The sixth is filed from the Style row, which is why a tile can sit in a finish collection whose word its own Finishing row does not carry. Forty-two of the sixty say the same thing in both places. The eighteen that do not are the two Atlas tiles, the two Haven tiles, Studio Flat, Carrara Petite Herringbone and twelve of the fourteen marble-look tiles, where a supplier wording naming two finishes is filed under one. Studio Flat is filed nowhere not because of how its supplier list is headed, but because the five-word list holds nothing for it.
Checked tile by tile across all sixty on 28 August 2026, the filing follows one rule: where a supplier wording names two finishes, the shop files the tile under one of them. Beyond the two Haven tiles, that now covers eleven marble-look tiles whose supplier row opens Polished or. The naming is looser than the filing: the rough collection's page title opens Textured Tiles and the soft polished one's opens Polished Tiles, and neither is the word on any product inside them. The rough page gives the reason itself, that the trade and most searches call the face textured. There are shop-by pages for look, material, room and shape, and none for finish.
How to compare tile scale found a gap of the same shape on the dimension side, where browsing by size reaches fewer tiles than reading the product page does. The difference here is that the gap is not at the last step: two records are kept, filled in separately, and the tiles where they part are the same ones every time.
The Material row reads Marble on five tiles
Four tiles write Soft polished: Carrara Fan Mosaic Tile, Carrara Large Hexagon Mosaic Tile, Carrara Round Mosaic Tile and Carrara Stack Mosaic Tile. On all four the Material row reads Marble. That value appears five times in the range, and the fifth is Carrara Petite Herringbone Mosaic Tile, the tile with no finish stated at all. Sixteen tiles read Ceramic and twenty-five read Porcelain; on the fourteen marble-look tiles the Material row reads Not specified. So the five tiles whose material row reads Marble carry two of the thirteen finish wordings between them, and one of the two is the absence of one.
Those same five are the whole of marble tiles. The soft polished finish tiles page now holds ten, four of them those marble records, and records Marble from the supplier's current documentation. The quarry or region of origin is not recorded. Read the Material row as the value in the supplier's current documentation rather than inferring composition from a product name or finish.
Which tiles here are actually stone works through that material row on its own.
A finish word describes a face, not a figure
A finish is a description of a surface. It is not a test result, and no finish row in this range carries one; where a figure exists it sits in a row of its own. The gloss finish tiles page states, of the fourteen it holds, that no wet pendulum class is recorded for any of them, and adds that a blank field is not a measurement and the page will not let it read as one.
Other pages will tell you whether matt or gloss is the better face. This one will not. What a face suits is decided by the room and by the person installing it, not by a word in a table. What this page can settle is what the word on this site says, and where it stops saying it.
What a tiled surface asks you to clean gathers what the current finish pages say about how a face takes a mark, and stops in the same place.
Reading the finish rows before you order
- read the finish line in the supplier's list literally — twenty tiles say Matt, one says Matt or rough and five say Polished or matt, and those are not the same statement;
- read the Finishing row as well, since on eighteen of the sixty the two rows do not agree;
- treat
Not specifiedin the supplier list, orCheck current finishin the option row, as unconfirmed rather than as an answer; - where a tile names two finishes, confirm which one is being supplied, because nothing on the page settles it;
- if you are browsing by finish, remember that three tiles sit in no finish collection at all and thirteen sit in two, so a collection is neither a full view of the range nor a clean division of it.
All sixty product pages and all six finish collections were read on 28 August 2026, and every wording and count above is from that reading. Supplier documentation changes, and a wording counted here can change with it — this page was first written when nine wordings covered forty-six tiles. A finish name describes an appearance: nothing above says whether a face suits a particular room, floor or wet area. Check the row on the tile you have chosen, and confirm the specification your project needs with the responsible installer or specifier before ordering.
Next step — the other row that decides what you can browse. How to compare tile scale puts every face size in the range in one row and shows where the size collections stop short.
