Reves Series: Choco 24" x 48" Matte Porcelain Tile by FLORIM

The "Ethereal Earth" Finish While standard brown tiles can feel heavy or dated, the Reves Choco provides a hyper-realistic, high-performance interpretation of rare, chocolate-veined marble and ancient mineral deposits. 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 walls and floors to a bespoke, gallery-like status.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Immerse your space in the sun-drenched, tactile beauty of the Reves Choco 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 rich, artisanal palette of deep cocoa, warm sepia, and "Caramelized" mineral undertones.

The Reves Choco 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 Matte finish—a velvety-to-the-touch, low-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 "Choco" visual that provides a rhythmic "3D" visual depth, mimicking the natural flow of rare, dark-veined Italian marble.

• "Velvet" Earth Finish: A sophisticated, non-reflective matte surface that mimics the soft, organic feel of honed stone 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 Non-Sag Medium-Bed Thin-Set to support the weight of the slabs on vertical surfaces and ensure full coverage on floors.

• Grout Color Matching: Select a "Chocolate" or "Dark Cocoa" grout. This allows the deep, monochromatic beauty of the Reves Choco 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

Is the "Choco" color too dark for small rooms? When paired with the 24" x 48" format and minimal grout lines, the Reves Choco creates a sense of infinite depth. In smaller spaces, it acts as a "grounding" element that adds a high-end, cozy architectural feel.

Can I use this for a fireplace surround? Absolutely. Porcelain is naturally heat-resistant and thermally stable. The large format and deep chocolate tones make it a stunning, modern choice for a full-height fireplace facade.

How do I clean the matte surface? Since the FLORIM glaze is high-density, dirt does not soak in. A simple wipe with a damp microfiber cloth or a pH-neutral cleaner will keep the velvety "Choco" tones looking pristine.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

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

• Lighting for Drama: Position warm-spectrum LEDs to "graze" the tile surface. This will emphasize the soft matte texture and the rich, organic veining inherent in the chocolate 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.
