The APE Rustica Ivory 3×6 Glossy is a warm cream white-body ceramic wall tile from Spain, built for designers, contractors, and homeowners who want an authentic glazed-ceramic subway look with modern manufacturing consistency. Its hand-crafted Spanish character and high-gloss glaze catch and bounce light, giving walls warmth, depth, and a timeless finish.
About the Rustica Collection by Carmen
The Rustica line is Procida Tile’s name for APE Grupo’s Vintage collection by Carmen — a glazed white-body ceramic wall tile that revisits classic Spanish ceramics with a softly irregular, artisanal face. The Ivory colorway delivers a warm cream that works beautifully in straight-stack or offset layouts; uniform (V1) shade variation keeps tone-to-tile consistency high while the glossy glaze preserves the hand-made spirit of the range.
Installation & Applications for APE Rustica Ivory 3×6 Glossy
The 3″x6″ (7.5×15 cm) subway format supports straight-stack, offset (running bond), herringbone, and vertical-stack patterns, giving a single SKU plenty of design range. As a glazed white-body wall tile it is intended for interior vertical surfaces — kitchen backsplashes, bathroom and shower walls, powder rooms, and accent or feature walls in residential and light-commercial interiors. It is not rated for floor or exterior use. Finish runs and outside corners with the matching Rustica Ivory bullnose and molding trim.
