Yes, once again I am doing another bathroom remodeling project, different house, different state, although after the last one I swore never again ....
I am once again trying to identify TILE maufacturer, color, etc. I was fortunate enough last time (6 years ago) to actually have several tiles that I "removed" which made it a "no brainer" as to the manufacturer (Wenczel name on back) and thus I tracked down the color (gold dust). I was extremely lucky to actually locate some of this discontinued, 20 year old tile by finding someone with three boxes, brand new and unused !!
THIS time, I cannot "remove" any tile pieces, and actually need to add quite a few tiles to "fill-in" the area where a large garden tub once was, which is soon to be replaced by a walk-in shower. I guess the "safest" and best thing is to actually try and remove at least one tile, clean the glue off the back (as I did last time) and properly identify. I am just trying to avoid this as the existing tiles are in excellent condition and on there so very, very secure. I can tell you that the home, located in Plant City, Florida (33566) was built in 1989 by Lennar Homes. The exact same tile was used in BOTH bathrooms. It's a tanish-brown with a "texture", somewhat like a floor tile look, but the standard 4" square.
