Sizes

Calacatta Marbella 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.

Calacatta Marbella carries a rating for flooring, at 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

Pieces will differ visibly. That is what makes the wall look like stone instead of wallpaper, but it means judging it from one piece will mislead you.

Wear rating: PEI 4

Its abrasion class is PEI 4 of a possible 5, meaning residential floors and light commercial use — more wear rating than a house will spend.

Certifications

The certification list: Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. Gold is the tighter of the two Greenguard thresholds, set for rooms full of children rather than for a house. It is LEED-eligible on top of that.

Questions about Calacatta Marbella

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

What size is Calacatta Marbella?

Calacatta Marbella comes in 5 sizes: 12x24 · 24x24 · 24x48 · 3x24 · 2x2. 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 Marbella?

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 Marbella 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 Marbella go on a floor?

Yes, comfortably. At PEI 4 it is rated past residential floors into light commercial traffic, so it will outlast the kitchen around it.

What color is Calacatta Marbella, really?

We measured its own swatch at #CDCDC4 — light and near-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 Marbella need sealing?

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