What kind of tile is Perla?

We stock Perla as porcelain, 12x24. Marfil sit in the same style family if you want to compare. It reads white-warm. Shade variation is slight to moderate between pieces. Porcelain is ceramic fired denser and harder, so it absorbs almost no water and holds a cut edge around an outlet.

Sizes

Perla 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.

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

Slight variation reads as depth rather than inconsistency. A single sample is still a fair guide.

Wear rating: PEI 4

Its abrasion class is PEI 4 of a possible 5, meaning residential floors plus light commercial traffic, so it will outlast the kitchen around it.

Questions about Perla

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

What size is Perla?

Perla 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 Perla?

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?

Perla 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 Perla 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 Perla, really?

We measured its own swatch at #DFD7CE — 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 Perla need sealing?

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