For a white hexagon look with strong black contrast, the Merola Gotham offers black dots, while the Metro Honeycomb and Metro Geo use different black accents. These are patterned porcelain mosaics, not plain white tile supplied with black grout, so the dark details are part of the tile design. Tenedos provides a floral black-and-white pattern, and PentaUSA is a gray grout repair product rather than a new-installation black grout.

Merola Gotham 1-Inch Hex White With Black Dot
This mesh-mounted porcelain mosaic is best for buyers who want a traditional white hexagon field with small, regular black accents. The black dots are built into the pattern; they are not black grout lines. Its small-scale design can suit floors or walls where a classic mosaic appearance is the goal.
- Grade 1, first-quality porcelain listed for floor and wall use.
- Each case covers 8.6 square feet and contains 10 pieces.
- Sheets measure 10.25 by 11.88 inches and are 0.23 inch thick.
Choose this if you prefer restrained, evenly spaced contrast. One limitation is that the listed coverage is per case, so calculate the room area and allow for cuts before ordering.
Merola Metro Matte White Hex Honeycomb
The Metro Honeycomb is best for shoppers seeking a more visually connected black-and-white geometric pattern. Its matte white porcelain surface and black honeycomb detail create stronger patterning than a simple black-dot design. It is listed for both floor and wall use.
- Grade 1, first-quality porcelain mosaic.
- 8.6 square feet per case, with 10 sheets.
- Each mesh-mounted sheet measures 10.25 by 11.88 inches and is 0.24 inch thick.
Choose this if a dense geometric look matters more than the appearance of plain white hex tile with separate dark joints. The black design is part of the mosaic, so it will not provide the same uninterrupted grout-line effect as installing plain white tile with black grout.
Merola Metro Geo White Hex With Black Edge
This Metro Geo mosaic is best for buyers who want black edging to define the white hexagonal shapes. The edge treatment makes it a distinct option from the Gotham dot and Metro Honeycomb patterns. The manufacturer listing describes it as a first-quality porcelain tile for floor and wall use.
- 10 mesh-mounted pieces cover 6.5 square feet per case.
- Each sheet is 10.5 by 11.63 inches and 0.23 inch thick.
- Listed case weight is 13.5 pounds.
Choose this if you want a pronounced outline effect. It has less listed coverage per case than the other Merola mosaics here, so check the required quantity carefully. As with the other patterned options, the black edge is a tile design feature, not grout.
Tenedos Classic Black And White Floral Hex
Tenedos is best for buyers who want a decorative flower motif rather than a simple white hex field with contrasting joints. The 1-by-1-inch hexagon pattern combines black and white porcelain into floral shapes. The listing describes uses including bathroom floors, shower walls, kitchen backsplashes, and entryways.
- Porcelain mosaic comes mesh-mounted as one sheet.
- Factory mounting is intended to help maintain even grout lines during installation.
- The black-and-white floral pattern is part of the tile.
Choose this if pattern and ornament are priorities. The supplied information identifies one sheet, so confirm the quantity and coverage needed for your project before buying.
PentaUSA Premixed Gray Grout Repair
This product is best for repairing existing gray grout joints, not for creating black grout lines in a new white hex tile installation. It is a premixed acrylic sanded repair formula intended to fill cracks, damaged joints, and worn grout. The listing describes it for bathroom, shower, kitchen backsplash, and floor grout repair.
- The 13.4-ounce tube is estimated to cover about 44 square feet under the stated tile and joint-depth conditions.
- The listed formula is water-resistant after a 24-hour cure.
- The manufacturer recommends splash zones and occasional water contact rather than constant submersion.
Avoid this if you specifically need black grout or fresh grout for a full installation: the listed color is gray and the product is marketed for repair.
Buying Guide: How to Choose White Hex Tile With Black Grout
Do you want actual black grout or a patterned tile?
Decide whether you want plain white hexagon tile with separate black grout or a mosaic that already includes black details. The four tile choices here have integrated black patterns. For the classic search look of white hex tile with black grout, verify that the tile itself is plain white and select a separate grout product in the intended color. PentaUSA’s listed repair grout is gray, not black.
Which pattern fits the room?
Choose Gotham for small, repeated dots; Metro Honeycomb for a connected geometric appearance; Metro Geo for black edging; or Tenedos for floral decoration. Consider how much visual contrast you want and whether the pattern will complement other finishes in the room.
How much tile should you order?
Compare coverage per case before estimating quantities. Gotham and Metro Honeycomb list 8.6 square feet per case; Metro Geo lists 6.5 square feet. Measure the project area and account for cuts and layout needs. Sheet dimensions and listed thickness can also help when planning transitions and installation.
Is the tile intended for your location?
The Merola products are described as porcelain for floor and wall use. Tenedos lists several possible locations, including floors and shower walls. Check the product’s installation instructions and confirm suitability for the specific surface and conditions before installation.
