Flake Series: White Medium 30" x 30" Matte Porcelain Tile

The "Ethereal Earth" Finish While standard terrazzo-look tiles often rely on repetitive, artificial patterns, the Flake White Medium provides a hyper-realistic, high-performance interpretation of traditional Venetian Terrazzo. It is the premier choice for a "Modern Hacienda" or "Warm Minimalist" aesthetic, prioritizing a deep, rhythmic texture and a sophisticated matte surface that elevates floors and walls to a bespoke, gallery-like status.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Immerse your space in the sun-drenched, tactile beauty of the Flake White Medium Tile. Designed as the ultimate "architectural jewelry" for the modern interior, this large-format porcelain slab is a masterpiece of material depth. It captures the weathered, organic soul of hand-cast Italian terrazzo, featuring a bright, artisanal palette of snow-white base tones, mid-scale grey aggregate, and "Frosted" mineral undertones.

The Flake Series is engineered to create "sculptural" horizontal and vertical surfaces. With its expansive 30" x 30" dimensions and a substantial 3/8" thickness, it provides a high-relief profile that adds a sense of tectonic depth to any room. The Matte finish—a soft-to-the-touch, low-sheen unglazed surface—amplifies the tile's organic "shadow play," creating a sense of movement that reacts beautifully to both warm architectural lighting and natural sun. Crafted from high-density Italian porcelain, it offers the prestige of custom-poured terrazzo with the waterproof durability required for high-traffic luxury living.

• Tactile Terrazzo Texture: A medium-grain "flake" design that provides a rhythmic "3D" visual effect, adding immediate architectural character to open-concept spaces.

• "Stone-Wash" Matte Finish: A sophisticated, non-reflective surface that mimics the soft, organic feel of honed stone while remaining exceptionally slip-resistant (R10/DCOF >0.42).

• Substantial 3/8" Profile: A thick, premium construction that allows for a bold presence, outperforming standard thin-set tiles in both durability and feel underfoot.

• Large Format Rectified Edge: The oversized 30" x 30" shape is precisely cut to allow for minimal 1/16" grout lines, creating an almost-seamless, monolithic stone effect.

• High-Density Porcelain Engineering: Unlike porous natural cement terrazzo, this tile is non-porous, acid-resistant, and frost-proof—making it perfect for luxury spa baths and modern indoor-outdoor transitions.

SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: LARGE FORMAT SUBSTRATE: Because of the expansive 30" x 30" dimensions, the substrate must be perfectly level (within 1/8" over 10 feet). Any "lippage" or unevenness will be amplified by the large format. Professional installers must use a leveling spacer system to ensure a flush, gallery-quality finish.

Professional Recommendations:

• Recommended Mortar: Use a premium Large and Heavy Tile (LHT) Mortar to support the weight of the slabs and prevent the tiles from sinking into the mortar bed as it cures.

• Grout Color Matching: Select a grout color that matches the "White" base exactly (e.g., Laticrete Bright White). This allows the medium-grain flakes to be the star, rather than the grid lines.

• Back-Butter for Bond: To ensure these oversized pieces stay locked to the floor, apply a thin layer of mortar to the back of the tile in addition to the floor to achieve 95%+ coverage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this tile slippery when wet? No. The unglazed matte finish is engineered for high-traffic safety. It provides a secure, non-slippery surface, making it an excellent choice for modern kitchens, entryways, and luxury bathrooms.

Does this require sealing like real terrazzo? No. Unlike traditional cement-based terrazzo, this is high-fired porcelain. It is naturally stain-resistant and does not require periodic sealing to maintain its color or integrity.

How many unique faces does the pattern have? The Flake White Medium features advanced inkjet technology with a V2 variation rating, offering approximately 8–10 unique faces to ensure a natural, non-repetitive appearance across large installations.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• The "Monolithic" Transition: Install these tiles from the interior living area out onto a covered patio to create a seamless, "boundless" aesthetic that mimics expensive custom-poured flooring.

• Lighting for Drama: Position wall-washers or recessed cans to "graze" the floor. This will emphasize the crystalline depth of the medium-grain flakes and the velvety matte finish.

• The Minimalist Joint: Utilize a 1/16" grout joint with a matching high-performance grout. This emphasizes the architectural scale of the 30" x 30" format and creates a bespoke, "slab-like" look.
