Product Overview
Florim "Rex Prexious" Charming Amber Glossy 24" x 48" Porcelain Tile delivers grand-format Italian architectural luxury, dramatic warm amber veining, and world-class porcelain engineering to modern residential and commercial interiors. Produced in Italy by Florim, the Prexious of Rex collection captures the expressive beauty of rare natural marble through advanced high-definition digital inkjet technology.
The Charming Amber colorway features an opulent creamy-white to light ivory background interwoven with rich, warm honey-gold, caramel, and amber-brown veining. The generous 24" x 48" grand-format plank drastically reduces grout lines, creating a sweeping, stone-slab canvas across open-concept living areas, primary bath suites, and luxury commercial spaces. Finished in a high-luster polished glossy glaze, it reflects natural light while offering high resistance to wear, stains, and moisture.

-
Open-Concept Living & Foyer Floors: Minimizes grout gridlines across expansive rooms, producing an elegant, light-reflecting floor canvas with warm gold and caramel undertones.

Installation & Handling Guidelines
⚠️ IMPORTANT: LARGE FORMAT TILE (LFT) INSTALLATION PROTOCOL
-
Subfloor Flatness Required: 24" x 48" tiles require an exceptionally level subfloor. Surface variation must not exceed 1/8" in 10 feet to prevent hollow spots and edge lippage.
-
Mortar Selection: Set tiles using a high-performance, polymer-modified Large & Heavy Tile (LFT) thin-set mortar (ANSI A118.4 / ANSI A118.15). A pure white LFT mortar is recommended to prevent dark shadowing through light-colored glazed porcelain.
-
Back-Butter Technique & Leveling Systems: Always back-butter the rear of each 24" x 48" tile with thinset to achieve 95%+ coverage. Use a mechanical tile leveling system (clips and wedges) during installation to guarantee completely flush tile-to-tile edges.
-
Rectified Grout Joint & Offset: Precision rectified edges allow for tight 1/16" to 1/8" grout joints. When installing in a running bond/staggered pattern, offset tiles by no more than 33% (1/3 bond) per TCNA guidelines.
Care & Maintenance
-
Routine Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum debris, then mop with warm water and a neutral pH household tile cleaner.
-
Stain & Moisture Resistance: Glazed porcelain repels wine, oil, coffee, and household chemical spills effortlessly.
-
Zero Sealing Required: Unlike natural marble slabs, glazed porcelain requires no impregnating sealers or ongoing chemical polishing.
Design Profile
-
Aesthetic Inspiration: Modern Italian Luxury, Warm Architectural Glamour, Contemporary Neo-Classical, Resort Spa.
-
Visual Advantage: Expansive 24x48 proportions accentuate the flowing honey-amber veining, creating an uninterrupted, slab-like appearance across walls and floors.
-
Complementary Finishes: Champagne bronze, brushed gold, or warm oil-rubbed bronze fixtures; natural oak or dark walnut millwork; and warm quartz or light cream stone surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Florim Prexious Charming Amber Glossy 24x48 tile require sealing?
No. Glazed porcelain is non-porous and naturally resistant to liquids and stains. Only cementitious grout lines (if used) require optional sealing.
Why is a mechanical tile leveling system required for 24" x 48" tile?
Large-format tiles cover a wide surface area. Leveling clips lock the edges flat against one another while thinset cures, eliminating edge "lippage" (uneven tile joints).
How does 24" x 48" compare to the 12" x 24" size in this series?
Both feature the same high-definition Charming Amber graphic and glossy finish. The 24" x 48" format offers a much larger visual scale with half the grout lines, making it ideal for large floor areas and seamless full-height shower walls.
