Product Overview
Elysium / Colorker Petra Viva Bone Matte 12" x 24" (29.5 cm x 59.5 cm) Porcelain Tile brings authentic, high-definition stone character, warm mineral movement, and world-class Spanish porcelain engineering to modern architectural spaces. Manufactured in Spain by Colorker (and distributed by Elysium Tile), the Petra Viva series utilizes advanced Spectra 3D technology to replicate the subtle tactile relief, soft veining, and organic strata of natural limestone and travertine.
The Bone colorway offers a warm, creamy ivory field infused with gentle sand and soft beige undertones. The classic 12" x 24" format offers versatility, making it easy to handle and ideal for creating straight-stacked, 33% offset, or classic 90-degree herringbone layouts across primary bath suites, shower walls, and kitchen backsplashes. Finished in a low-sheen Matt (Matte) surface with a V3 moderate shade and graphic variation rating, it delivers a natural, non-repeating stone look with effortless maintenance.

Installation and Handling Guidelines
⚠️ IMPORTANT: RECTIFIED PORCELAIN INSTALLATION PROTOCOL
-
Subfloor Flatness Required: Surface variation must not exceed 1/8" in 10 feet to ensure a flat installation without hollow spots or lippage.
-
Mortar Selection: Set tiles using a high-performance, polymer-modified thin-set mortar (ANSI A118.4 / ANSI A118.15). A pure white mortar is recommended for light-colored porcelain to avoid shadowing.
-
Back-Butter Technique & Leveling Systems: Back-butter the rear of each tile with thinset to achieve 95%+ coverage. Always use a mechanical tile leveling system during setting to guarantee flush, lippage-free edges.
-
Rectified Grout Joint & Offset: Precision rectified edges allow for narrow 1/16" to 1/8" grout joints. When installing in a running bond/staggered layout, offset tiles by no more than 33% (1/3 bond) per TCNA guidelines.
Care and Maintenance
-
Routine Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum dust, then mop using warm water and a neutral pH household tile cleaner.
-
Stain & Moisture Resistance: Rated Class 5 Stain Resistant and Class A Chemical Resistant, the non-porous porcelain body repels oil, coffee, wine, and household chemicals without staining.
-
Zero Sealing Required: Unlike natural limestone or travertine, glazed porcelain requires no impregnating sealers or special chemical buffing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Colorker Petra Viva Bone tile require sealing?
No. Glazed porcelain is non-porous ($<0.5\%$ water absorption) and naturally stain-resistant. Only cementitious grout joints (if used) require optional sealing.
Is 12" x 24" Petra Viva Bone durable enough for high-traffic floors?
Yes! It achieves a PEI 5 surface abrasion rating and a breaking strength of $>1300\text{ N}$, making it exceptionally durable for both heavy commercial floors and high-traffic residential areas.
What layout patterns work best for 12" x 24" tile?
Because 12" x 24" tiles have a 1:2 aspect ratio, they can be set in straight-stacked, 33% staggered offset, or classic 90-degree herringbone patterns.
