What kind of tile is Marfil?

We stock Marfil as porcelain, 12x24. It reads beige. Fired denser than ordinary ceramic, porcelain has near-zero water absorption, which is why it also goes on floors and wet walls. Pearl and Perla sit in the same style family if you want to compare.

Sizes and finishes

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

Sizes

Marfil is made in 4 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.

Its maker rates Marfil 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: V2 — slight variation

Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone between pieces. Most people never notice it once it is grouted.

Wear rating: PEI 4

PEI is the industry abrasion class, 1 to 5. At PEI 4 this tile is rated for residential floors and light commercial use — more wear rating than a house will spend.

Certifications

Its certifications are Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.

What to put next to it

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

Measured, not guessed: #8E7055, mid and warm. The nearest color we hold pairings for is Terracotta / Clay. There is genuine color in it, which means the room will organize itself around this rather than the other way around.

Cabinets

Natural / White Oak — clay tile + oak reads Mediterranean. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current
Cream / Antique White — Cream cabinets give terracotta tile room to glow instead of shout — the pairing ages like a Marseille farmhouse, better every year the glaze crazes.. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes current

Countertop

Concrete / Cement Gray — Concrete gray is the cold plunge terracotta needs — without it the clay goes theme-restaurant, with it the wall reads earthy and editorial.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current

Steer away from

Oxblood Burgundy — Oxblood and terracotta are two proud reds a half-step apart — close enough to clash, far enough to look like a matching attempt that failed.

Questions about Marfil

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

What size is Marfil?

Marfil comes in 4 sizes: 12x24 · 24x48 · 48x48 · 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 Marfil?

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?

Marfil is rated V2 — slight variation. Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone that most people stop noticing once it is grouted.

Can Marfil 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 Marfil, really?

We measured its own swatch at #8E7055 — mid and warm. It carries real color rather than reading as a neutral, so it will drive the rest of the room more than a white tile would. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.

Does Marfil need sealing?

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