Choosing between the whites
Most of the range has a white background, and that is where the difficult decision sits. Statuario has a cool base and a sharp grey vein: it works where you want readable contrast, and holds up next to light woods and dark window frames. Calacatta has broader veining crossed by golden passages: it brings the room to a warmer temperature and pairs with brass, walnut and sand tones. The neutral white has fine, evenly spread veining, and is the one that weighs least on the furniture — the right choice when the floor should accompany rather than lead.
Grey, beige and black are not secondary options: they answer the rooms where white would be too much, or where the design calls for a background that absorbs light instead of returning it. We have written a dedicated guide on how a matte surface performs in marble effect.
Sizes and how the veining reads
All three main sizes are available across every tone, and the choice mainly changes how much veining stays visible within a single tile. The 120x120 is the size where the pattern develops in full: the vein crosses the surface without being cut short, and the result comes closest to a marble slab. The 60x120 keeps much of that continuity with simpler installation and less waste. The 60x60 remains the most manageable in small or irregular rooms, where large formats would produce too many cuts.
30x60 is available in Statuario and Calacatta and is intended for wall applications: on a shower wall or behind a basin, the smaller module keeps proportions that a large format would lose.
Each size has its own section, where all the effects sit together: 120x120 porcelain tiles, 60x120 porcelain tiles and 60x60 porcelain tiles.
The matte surface
None of the marble-look surfaces in this range is reflective. On the veining this changes more than it might seem: without reflections the pattern reads with the same intensity from every corner of the room, and it does not disappear where light falls directly. That is why matte holds up well in bright rooms and across wide surfaces.
There is a practical consequence too: a satin surface holds fingerprints and water marks poorly, which is why it works in kitchens and in bathrooms in daily use. Anyone looking for the same materiality in a less formal register will find an alternative with the same matte finish in stone-effect porcelain tiles.
Frequently asked questions
What sizes are available in marble effect?
60x60, 60x120 and 120x120 across every tone, plus 30x60 in Statuario and Calacatta. All sizes are rectified, with edges squared at 90° that allow 2 mm grout lines.
What is the difference between Statuario and Calacatta?
They are two different white marbles. Statuario has a cooler base with fine, sharply defined grey veining; Calacatta has broader veining with golden passages and a warmer overall temperature.
Is matte marble effect suitable for a kitchen floor?
Yes. A matte surface holds fingerprints and marks poorly, and porcelain is unaffected by grease, kitchen acids or frequent washing.
