V-1 Low
Low shade and texture variations within each carton.
V-2 Moderate
Ceramic Tile – Moderate shade and texture variation
Distinguishable differences in texture and pattern within each color.
V-3 High
Ceramic Tile – High shade and texture variation
High shade and texture variation within each carton.
Important: It is imperative that tiles from various cartons be continually blended during installation to insure optimum appearance.
Random

For a neat, contemporary-looking tile floor, choose a tile with a low shade and texture rating. A tile with a high or random shade and texture rating will achieve a more casual, rustic effect.
