MSI MONTAUK BLACK 6X24X.32 GAUGED WALL TILE

Montauk Black 6x24 Gauged Slate Wall Tile brings a dramatic, high-contrast backdrop to any space. Crafted in natural slate with elegant variation, this tile elevates walls from ordinary to striking, pairing perfectly with modern farmhouse accents, classic noir aesthetics, and contemporary interiors alike.

Materially, you’re getting true slate—a durable, natural stone that wears beautifully on walls in kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and fireplace surrounds. The tiles are gauged to a uniform thickness of 0.32 inches, ensuring consistent substrate height and cleaner grout lines for faster, more predictable installations.

What sets Montauk Black apart

• Unique, high-contrast veining and deep noir tones create a rich, tactile surface that reads as luxury in any room.
• Gauged thickness guarantees uniformity across large runs, reducing lippage during installation and delivering a seamless wall look.
• Natural variation in Montauk Black—also cataloged under trade names like Classic Noir, Enchanted Forest, Modern Farmhouse, and Natu—provides one-of-a-kind character with each tile, so no two walls are the same.
• Generous size for dramatic walls—6" x 24" planks create long, uninterrupted lines that visually enlarge spaces and simplify layouts.
• Efficient coverage per carton supports cohesive projects with fewer repeat patterns and quicker assembly.

Ideal uses and design ideas

• Kitchen backsplashes that become a focal point with a bold, reflective surface when paired with brass, nickel, or matte black fixtures.
• Shower surrounds and wet areas where the natural texture adds depth without relying on heavy ornamentation.
• Feature walls in living rooms or entryways to create a sophisticated, timeless canvas that works with both industrial and traditional furnishings.
• Fireplace mantels or surround accents that anchor a room with a grounded, earthy elegance.

Practical tips for installation and care

• Use a high-quality thin-set mortar formulated for natural stone on interior walls. Allow the substrate to dry completely and follow manufacturer recommendations for curing times.
• Choose grout colors that complement the veining—lighter grays highlight the texture, while darker grays create a more uniform, modern look.
• Seal the slate after installation to protect against stains and moisture. Re-seal per slate usage and traffic, typically every 1–2 years, or as recommended by your installer.
• Clean with pH-balanced stone cleaners or mild soap and water. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that can dull the natural surface over time.
