The "Prestige" Collection

High-definition luxury with a mirror-like soul. The Prestigio Statuario Lucido 12" x 24" by Ceramiche REFINrepresents the pinnacle of Italian porcelain engineering. Designed to emulate the world's most elite "Statuario" marble, this tile captures the essence of the Italian Renaissance—bright, bold, and unapologetically opulent. It is the premier choice for "High-Gloss Glamour" or "Ultra-Modern Luxury" aesthetics, prioritizing maximum light reflection and a grand, palatial atmosphere.

PRODUCT TITLE

Prestigio Series by Refin: 12" x 24" Statuario Lucido (Polished) Rectified Porcelain Tile

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The "Diamond of Italian Porcelain." Refin Prestigio is the definitive choice for designers who demand the spectacular visual impact of polished natural marble without the high-maintenance porousness of real stone. The Statuario Lucidocolorway features a brilliant, snow-white field punctuated by wide, high-contrast veins of flint-grey and charcoal that sweep across the surface with dramatic, natural variation.

The "Lucido" (Polished) finish is the star of this collection. Through an advanced mechanical polishing process, REFIN achieves a deep, glass-like luster that catches every light source in the room, making spaces feel twice as large and significantly brighter. At 12" x 24", this rectified porcelain tile allows for razor-thin grout lines, creating a nearly seamless "slab" effect that was once only achievable with massive, expensive blocks of stone.

KEY FEATURES

• Statuario "High-Def" Realism: Features the dramatic, wide-vein patterns and "clean" white background that distinguish Statuario from standard Carrara.

• The "Lucido" Mirror Finish: A high-gloss, ultra-reflective surface that amplifies ambient light and provides a sophisticated, "wet-look" brilliance.

• Precision Rectified Edges: Mechanically squared edges allow for 1/16" grout joints, essential for achieving a high-end, monolithic appearance.

• Superior Porcelain Durability: Resistant to acids, stains, and scratches, ensuring the polished shine remains pristine without the need for periodic sealing.

• Hygienic and Non-Porous: Unlike natural marble, this porcelain will not absorb moisture or harbor bacteria, making it ideal for high-end master baths.

SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: LIPPAGE PREVENTION: When installing high-gloss 12x24 tiles, even the slightest height difference (lippage) will be amplified by the light reflections. You must use a Mechanical Tile Leveling System to ensure the surface is perfectly flat. Additionally, follow the 33% maximum offset rulefor staggered patterns.

Professional Recommendations:

• Grout Selection: Use a high-performance, non-sanded grout in "Bright White" or "Avalanche." A matching grout color is vital to maintain the "infinite slab" illusion of the Lucido finish.

• Thin-set Choice: Use a Premium Large Format Tile (LFT) Mortar with high-grab properties to prevent the tiles from shifting or slumping during setting.

• Substrate Flatness: Because the polished finish is so reflective, any dip in the subfloor will show. Ensure the substrate is level to within 1/8" over 10 feet.

PRO DESIGN TIPS

• The "Infinite" Master Suite: Run the 12x24 Lucido tiles from the bedroom floor directly into the bathroom and up the shower walls. The high-gloss finish will make the entire suite feel like a continuous, light-filled sanctuary.

• The "Slab-Look" Backsplash: Use these tiles horizontally behind a kitchen range or vanity. The large format and polished finish provide the look of a solid marble slab at a fraction of the cost and weight.

• Modern Chrome Harmony: Pair this tile with Polished Chrome or Stainless Steel fixtures. The metallic reflections and the Lucido surface work together to create a crisp, "High-Definition" modern environment.
