Reves Series: Bleu 24" x 48" Glossy Porcelain Tile by FLORIM

The "Ethereal Earth" Finish While standard blue tiles often rely on flat, artificial pigments, the Reves Bleu provides a hyper-realistic, high-performance interpretation of rare, cobalt-veined marble and crystalline mineral deposits. It is the premier choice for a "Modern Hacienda" or "Warm Minimalist" aesthetic, prioritizing a deep, rhythmic texture and a sophisticated glossy surface that elevates walls and floors to a bespoke, gallery-like status.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Immerse your space in the sun-drenched, tactile beauty of the Reves Bleu Tile. Designed as the ultimate "architectural jewelry" for the expansive modern home, this large-format porcelain slab is a masterpiece of Italian design. It captures the weathered, organic soul of exotic stone, featuring a mesmerizing, artisanal palette of deep cerulean, misty azure, and "Lapis" mineral undertones.

The Reves Bleu is engineered to create "sculptural" horizontal and vertical surfaces. With its grand 24" x 48" dimensions and a substantial porcelain body, it provides a high-relief profile that adds a sense of tectonic depth to any installation. The Glossy finish—a mirror-like, high-sheen 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 by FLORIM with high-density precision, it offers the prestige of custom stone slabs with the industrial durability required for high-traffic luxury living.

KEY FEATURES

• Tactile Marble Texture: A sophisticated "Bleu" visual that provides a rhythmic "3D" visual depth, mimicking the natural flow of rare, blue-veined Italian marble.

• "High-Clarity" Glossy Finish: A sophisticated, light-reflective surface that showcases the deep, saturated mineral colors of the porcelain while remaining exceptionally easy to clean.

• Substantial 24" x 48" Format: An oversized architectural slab designed to minimize grout lines, creating a monolithic, continuous surface that makes rooms feel significantly larger.

• Linear Architectural Format: The elongated shape is designed to be installed vertically for a dramatic "pillar" effect or horizontally for a seamless, expansive floor.

• High-Density Porcelain Engineering: Unlike porous natural marble, this FLORIM-engineered tile is non-porous, acid-resistant, and stain-proof—making it perfect for luxury master suites and gourmet kitchens.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: LARGE FORMAT HANDLING: Because of the expansive 24" x 48" dimensions and weight, this tile requires a Large and Heavy Tile (LHT) Mortar. To achieve a gallery-quality finish, installers must use a professional tile leveling system to prevent "lippage" and ensure perfectly flush transitions across the slab edges.

Professional Recommendations:

• Recommended Mortar: Use a premium White Non-Sag Medium-Bed Thin-Set. White mortar is recommended to ensure the brilliance of the "Bleu" tones remains pure and unaffected by darker adhesives.

• Grout Color Matching: Select an "Azure" or "Cool Grey" grout. This allows the deep, monochromatic beauty of the Reves Bleu to be the star, creating a seamless, monolithic effect.

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

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will the glossy surface scratch easily? While glossy finishes are more reflective, FLORIM’s high-density porcelain is engineered for extreme durability. However, we recommend avoiding abrasive cleaners and using felt pads on furniture to maintain the mirror-like clarity.

Can I use this on a shower wall? Absolutely. The non-porous nature of the porcelain and the glossy glaze make it ideal for wet environments, allowing water to bead off effortlessly while providing a stunning, spa-like focal point.

How do I clean the glossy surface? Since the FLORIM glaze is high-density, dirt does not soak in. A simple wipe with a damp microfiber cloth or a glass cleaner will keep the brilliant "Bleu" tones looking pristine and reflective.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• The "Slab" Wall: Install these tiles vertically from floor to ceiling in a master bathroom. The 48" height creates a seamless "slab" look that emphasizes the architectural character of the Reves series.

• Lighting for Drama: Position cool-spectrum LEDs to "graze" the tile surface. This will emphasize the crystalline depth and the rich, organic veining inherent in the blue palette.

• The 1/3 Offset: If installing in a running bond, do not exceed a 1/3 offset to maintain the structural integrity and visual rhythm of the large-format slabs.
