Tile Collection Luxury 12x24 Tile Calacatta Rectified Polished
Calacatta brings the classic white-and-gold veining of Italian marble to a durable, easy-to-maintain porcelain tile. This polished finish in the Luxury series delivers a high-shine, reflective surface that amplifies the depth of the marble-look pattern — a strong choice for upscale bathrooms, feature walls, and low-traffic residential floors looking for a glossy finish.
Rectified edges allow for tight grout joints and a clean, seamless look. Moderate (V3) shade variation keeps the marble-look pattern natural rather than repetitive across the install. Made with Greenguard, Bureau Veritas, NSF, and EPD certifications.
Note: as with most polished porcelain, this finish is better suited to walls and light-traffic floors than heavy-wear areas — a polished surface has lower slip resistance and shows scratches more readily than a matte finish. Discuss expected traffic and location with the customer before recommending polished over matte for floor applications.

Is this suitable for a shower or bathroom floor? It works well for walls and low-traffic floors, but a polished finish has lower slip resistance than matte — confirm suitability for wet floor areas against your project's slip-resistance requirements before installing.
What's the difference between this and the matte version? Same tile body, pattern, and porcelain quality — only the surface finish differs. Matte offers better slip resistance for floors; polished offers a glossier, more reflective look, often used on walls or accent floors.
What size grout joint should I use? Because it's rectified, joints can run tighter than a pressed-edge tile — check your specific installation plan and local building code for exact joint width recommendations.
Is this real marble? No — it's porcelain tile manufactured to replicate the look of natural marble, offering more consistency and lower maintenance than natural stone.
