Floor Tiles & Wall Tiles with a Marble Effect

Ever since ancient times, marble has been valued as a material for architecture and art, combining elegance and functionality. However, marble stone tiles are not only costly, but are also difficult to install due to its weight. It's no surprise therefore that large format floor tiles that mimic natural stone tiles have been an absolute hit since they were introduced to the interior design market.

Now with a revolutionary new Colour Definition System digital printing technique, La Faenza has manufactured a collection of porcelain tiles that replicate natural marble to the slightest detail in grain and variation. This new process allows simultaneous display of several graphic solutions, maximising the aesthetic diversification of the porcelain tile surfaces.

By using these evolutionary porcelain tiles, you not only achieve the desired marble effect, but also save on installation time and costs, since these tiles are much lighter and easier to transport, cut, drill and install compared to real marble tiles.

Heritage Tiles stocks these rectified porcelain marble-effect tiles in polished 500x1000 and matt 500x500. 5 different marble effects are available – Rosalia, Bardiglio, Reale, Brenta and Arabesco, which are all useable as floor tiles and wall tiles.

ROSALIA: This effect has a wisely streaked texture where, in the never-ending shaded effect of the bases, marked toned ribbing firmly erupts decidedly into the space, notching the tile with an intense marble effect of great impressiveness and personality.

BARDIGLIO: Spots of colour like shaded clouds that add life to the background with the prestigious tones of grey-anthracite in this effect. The ceramic tile surface becomes a scene that is given rhythm by transversal streaks that enhance the elegant marble effect and makes it priceless.

REALE: In this effect, the veining becomes the main feature of the ceramic surface. The marble effect lights-up through the warm tones of brown with a tough of light and shade. For use as both a floor tile and a wall tile, this marble imitation is real and pulsating, and is ideal for environments with character and material pleasure to be hand touched.

BRENTA: This effect consists of an itinerary marked by veining, deep furrows, inlets and patches of colour - signs of a material on which time has left indelible traces and invaluable decorative elements for a collection of wholly natural elegance. The rock effect comes about spontaneously, endowing exterior and interior spaces with evocative sensations of movement dynamics.

ARABESCO: Inspired by classical and traditional marble, this effect is created with marked veining creating a web on the mix of the ceramic base and designing arabesques that have a great scenic effect.

If you’re looking for elegance and functionality, prestige and durability – these tiles have it all!
