Daltile Volume 1.0

Daltile Volume 1.0 is a glazed porcelain floor tile with a soft concrete look, made in the USA for busy commercial and home floors. It comes in 6x6, 12x12, 6x24 and 12x24, with a StepWise slip-resistant version, a Microban version and matching cove base, outcorners and bullnose, so you can finish a whole floor in one series.

What Daltile Volume 1.0 offers

Standard tile or StepWise?

StepWise is Daltile’s slip-resistant surface. Choose it for any floor that gets wet or greasy: commercial kitchens, building entries, restrooms and shower floors. For dry areas such as shops, offices and hallways, the standard Volume 1.0 tile is easier to clean and smoother underfoot. StepWise has a slightly grippier feel, so plan on a scrub brush, not only a mop.

One thing to check before you choose: StepWise comes mostly in a different colour set from the standard tile (Thunder, Vapor, Truffle, Clay, Waterfall, Naval, Willow and Botanical). If you want the same colour on a dry floor and a wet floor, pick from the colours both versions share in your sizes, or plan the change at a doorway.

Daltile Volume 1.0 colours

Not every colour comes in every size. Check the colour list on each product before you plan.

Sizes and layout

• 12x24: fewer grout lines, so it suits open commercial floors and larger rooms.
• 12x12 and 6x6: better for small rooms, restrooms and sloped shower floors, where smaller tiles follow the slope.
• 6x24: a plank-style shape for a linear or offset layout.

Finish the floor with matching trim

Commercial kitchens and restrooms often use cove base, where the tile curves up the wall so there is no corner for dirt and water to sit in. Order the outcorner for every outside corner. Match the colour code on the cove base to the floor tile, not just the colour name. Cove base comes in the 8 standard colours plus Thunder, Vapor and Truffle; bullnose comes in all 16.

Where Volume 1.0 works best

• Restaurants.
• Retail Floors.
• Offices.
• Restrooms.
• Mudrooms.
• Laundry Rooms.
• Basements.

Think twice if:

• You want a warm wood or natural stone look.
  Volume is a plain cement look by design.
• You want razor-thin grout lines.
  Volume has pressed edges, not rectified edges, so it needs a slightly wider grout joint.
• You need StepWise and cove base in the same colour.
  Check both product colour lists first.
