Product Overview
Florim Rêves Noisette Glossy 24" x 48" Porcelain Slab Tile (60 cm x 120 cm) is an extra-large Italian porcelain slab manufactured by Florim (part of the prestigious Rêves de Rex collection). Inspired by rare, translucent alabaster and precious warm onyx, the Noisette colorway offers a sophisticated, cozy palette of warm hazelnut brown, soft caramel, amber-gold veining, and delicate cream mineral swirls.
Factory-finished with a high-reflection Glossy (Polished) glaze, this 24x48 slab format magnifies color contrast and crystalline depth. It provides a luxurious onyx-look field with minimal grout line interruption (~8 sq. ft. per panel), making it ideal for high-end master bathroom suites, full-height shower feature walls, fireplace surrounds, and commercial feature spaces.

Installation and Handling Guidelines
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: POLISHED OVERSIZED SLAB PROTOCOL
-
Leveling Clip System Required: Installers must use a mechanical tile leveling clip system along joint lines during setting to guarantee flush transitions and eliminate lippage across the 48-inch edges.
-
Thinset Mortar Selection: Set using a high-performance, polymer-modified Large & Heavy Tile (LFT) thinset specified for porcelain slabs (ANSI A118.4 or ANSI A118.15 like MAPEI® Ultraflex LFT or LATICRETE® Multimax Lite).
-
Mortar Back-Butter Technique: Comb mortar directionally on the substrate AND back-butter each 24x48 panel to guarantee 95%+ solid mortar coverage indoors and 100% coverage in wet shower zones.
-
Protect the Polished Glaze: Use non-marking rubber floats and clean tools during installation. Avoid abrasive sponges or scouring pads that could scratch the polished glossy surface during grout cleanup.
Professional Recommendations
-
Dry Lay & Vein Blending: The Rêves Noisette graphic carries fluid onyx veining (V3 rating). Unbox and dry-lay slabs before final setting to balance hazelnut, caramel, and amber tones across the space.
-
Grout Color Strategy: Pair with a warm tan, camel, or soft beige high-performance grout (such as MAPEI® Ultracolor Plus FA in Sahara or Mocha) to make tile joints fade into the warm onyx visual.
Care and Maintenance
-
Routine Cleaning: Wipe down using warm water and a neutral pH porcelain cleaner with a microfiber cloth. Avoid oil-based soaps or wax-based cleaners that leave a dull film over glossy glazes.
-
100% Acid & Stain Proof: Impervious vitrified porcelain (< 0.08% absorption) protects against cosmetic acids, perfumes, hair dyes, oils, wine, and household cleaning chemicals.
-
Zero Sealing Required: Unlike natural hazelnut onyx or alabaster stone, glazed Italian porcelain is non-porous and requires no topical sealers, waxes, or re-sealing treatments over its lifespan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Florim Rêves Noisette Glossy and Matte (Mat/Naturale)?
The Glossy version features a mirror-like polished finish that accentuates the depth of the onyx veins and maximizes light reflection—ideal for feature walls. The Matte version offers a soft, non-reflective finish with better foot traction for floor installations.
Is Florim Rêves Noisette Glossy safe for walk-in shower floors?
Polished glossy porcelain can become slippery when wet. While it is an exceptional choice for shower walls, a matte finish or smaller mosaic format is recommended for walk-in shower floors.
Does this warm onyx-look porcelain tile require special sealers?
No. Florim porcelain stoneware is vitrified and non-porous (< 0.08% absorption), requiring no sealers or topical waxes.
