Equipe Cottage Dark Grey 3×12 Glossy — Premium Ceramic Subway Tile from Spain
The Equipe Cottage Dark Grey 3×12 Glossy is a rich charcoal-leaning dark grey ceramic wall tile from Spain, designed for contractors and designers who want the handcrafted charm of traditional subway tile with the durability and dimensional consistency of modern ceramic manufacturing. Its glossy surface and subtle tonal variation give every installation an authentic, artisanal character suited to residential and light commercial interiors.
About the Cottage Collection by Equipe Cerámicas
Part of the Cottage collection by Equipe Cerámicas, this tile is produced on a white-body ceramic with a gently rippled, hand-molded face that references traditional Spanish wall tile while delivering modern manufacturing precision. Moderate shade variation (V3) gives each run an organic, handmade feel — particularly effective in dark grey when paired with contrasting grout for a defined subway pattern, or matched grout for a softer, monolithic look.
Installation & Applications for Equipe Cottage Dark Grey 3×12 Glossy
The 3″x12″ (7.5×30 cm) subway format supports a wide range of installation patterns — straight-stack, offset (running bond), herringbone, and vertical stack — giving designers and installers maximum flexibility on a single SKU. Recommended applications include kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls and showers, powder rooms, and accent or feature walls in residential and light commercial interiors. Cottage Dark Grey delivers a confident anchor tone that pairs beautifully with white marble, brass fixtures, light oak cabinetry, and matte black accents. Pair with the matching Cottage 1/2″ x 8″ Jolly edge stick for clean terminations and bullnose detailing.
