What kind of tile is Calacatta Lucca?

We stock Calacatta Lucca as porcelain. Porcelain is ceramic fired denser and harder, so it absorbs almost no water and holds a cut edge around an outlet. Ace preps the wall flat first, sets the tile, grouts the next day and caulks the countertop joint.

Sizes and finishes

How it is actually sold — measured off the spec sheet, not rounded.

Sizes

Calacatta Lucca is made in 5 sizes. Size is the decision people skip and then notice every day: it sets how much grout line ends up in the field, and a larger module on the same wall reads calmer than a small one.

Where it works

The applications this surface is actually rated for.

The spec sheet clears this one for flooring — all of it at commercial duty.

Rated for

Flooring — residential and commercial

What to expect once it is installed

The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.

Shade variation: V3 — moderate variation

Moderate variation is where a sample stops telling the whole story. Look at a few pieces, and insist the boxes get shuffled and dry-laid before anything is set.

Wear rating: PEI 3

Its abrasion class is PEI 3 of a possible 5, meaning everything a kitchen asks of it: walls, counters and residential floors.

Certifications

Its certifications are Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. Gold means it was tested to the tighter emissions limits, not the baseline ones. That also makes it LEED-eligible where that matters.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Calacatta Lucca itself, not from its name.

Measured, not guessed: #EEE8E5, very light and essentially neutral. The nearest color we hold pairings for is White Veined (Marble-Look). It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.

Cabinets

Pure White — the bright gallery kitchen — veining supplies the movement plain white lacks. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast classic
Charcoal — inverted tuxedo — dark base, light top. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
Oxblood Burgundy — Dried-wine cabinetry under crisp veined white is old-London-pub-meets-gallery, and neither half will ever look dated.. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
Sage Green — keeps green kitchens bright. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials current

Island

Navy — white top lightens the dark base. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
Walnut — Cool white veining over chocolate walnut is the tuxedo of islands — the wood deepens with a decade of hand oil while the stone stays crisp above it.. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
Forest / Emerald — white stone keeps deep green from swallowing light. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element solid

Backsplash

Pure White — run the slab up the wall — one material, zero grout. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current

Questions about Calacatta Lucca

Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.

What size is Calacatta Lucca?

Calacatta Lucca comes in 5 sizes: 12x24 · 24x24 · 24x48 · 3x24 · 3x3. Pick the size before the color. It decides how much grout line ends up in the field, and on the same wall a larger module reads calmer than a small one.

Where can I use Calacatta Lucca?

Its maker rates it for flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.

Will the tiles match the sample I saw?

Calacatta Lucca is rated V3 — moderate variation. Expect visible differences in shade and pattern between pieces. Choose from several, and have the installer dry-lay and shuffle boxes before setting.

Can Calacatta Lucca go on a floor?

Yes. At PEI 3 it is rated for normal residential floors as well as walls and counters — the usual rating for a kitchen.

What color is Calacatta Lucca, really?

We measured its own swatch at #EEE8E5 — very light and essentially neutral. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.

Does Calacatta Lucca need sealing?

No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
