Floor tile needed

[Jerry8542]

We are reconfiguring the island in our kitchen and need some of the original floor tile which is discontinued.
The tile we are looking for is Orchid Ceramics by Corona name Otawa color Sand/Arena
Our house was built in December 2009.
If you have any of this tile, I would like to buy it.
Photos of the tile and the box label are attached.

OP, if you do not get any replies, there are several discontinued tile sites on the internet. You have all of the necessary information to do a search, with any luck you will find some.

I've tried that with no luck.

Try this site Daltile Ceramic & Porcelain Tile For Flooring, Walls, & More (https://www.daltile.com/) maybe there is something very close?

Call TV / login to your account and find out who did the install in your home, they may have some. If this was a popular choice at the time it’s possible they kept some.

Check with the local providers - I’d start with The Floor Shoppe, they did & still do work for the developer.

If you find them use where less seen. The color, even if you get the same lot # which is unlikely, will be much different than what’s been used and exposed to light & wear & tear.

I've tried all of the suggestions.
Floor tile is 16.4 inches square. I will take any quantity.

Use any tile, then cover the whole floor with Luxury Vinyl Plank. Or create an artistic filler with small mosaic tiles.

If you contact the Villages warrenty number, and your house is relatively new, then it is possible that they could still have it in stock, or tell you where they get it from? Each home is assigned an individual builder. He/ She is given plans and they are in charge of your construction. IF you trace him down, he would have a record of the items, and would know if it is still being used in The Villages....(There are about 12-15 contractors that work solely for The Villages.) Sort of a long shot, but It worked for me once.

Since you have so much information about the tile - did you do an on line search?

If you can’t find it. Then it’s time to consider a new flooring. Let the wife or girlfriend help you - I’m sure they would be excited to change out a flooring and add their own touch to the house.

I suggested that yesterday morning, they said already tried. I thought that was probably best option, too bad didn’t work. Many owners don’t realize you can login to the warranty department and see what was installed in your home, even paint colors. A great resource. Then talking to someone in the Department may get more info.

A few years ago, I cut out a matching pattern in the area (every fourth and fifth tile). and 'filled in' with new earthtone tiles.
No time wasted looking for something that might not be available.
Floor looked 'original'

This is a great idea. Putting down new luxury vinyl is also a good idea in a 2009 home. We put luxury vinyl in ours and it’s better than tile in my wife’s opinion and that is all that counts. Good luck.

I may have some of these tiles. There is no box or label but they look to be the same as shown in your photo. If you wish to pursue this, contact me at the following. Dorecker@yahoo.com

Next Door just posted some that look like yous from here in The y

[Jerry8542]

If that was Pam that posted in NextDoor, the tile that she has is 15 3/4 inches square. The tile that I need is 16.4 inches square.

Be aware that if you put down a thick floor over the tile you may create a tripping hazard, and if you do not take this under the refrigerator, stove and dishwasher you may have future problems. For example, all 3 may be difficult to move. The increased height for the stove might be out of the adjustment range on the feet resulting in uneven counter area. The increased height in the dishwasher might cause mounting problems to the top of the dishwasher. I usually suggest removing the old flooring, but this is expensive and really dirty.
After reading some of the comments, maybe you could find a contrasting or complementary tile and then do a border around the new counters. This would involve cutting existing tiles and fitting the new ties, thin set and grout.

A border around or on just one side of the new island has been the backup plan. The current tiles are laid on a diagonal. I am trying to avoid the mess of cutting and taking up tiles in order to make the border work.

I have some. PM me in the morning for a count.
