Product Overview
Florim Rêves Noisette Matte 24" x 48" Porcelain Slab Tile (60 cm x 120 cm) is an architectural Italian porcelain slab manufactured by Florim (part of the prestigious Rêves de Rex collection). Inspired by rare, translucent alabaster and exotic warm onyx minerals, the Noisette (Hazelnut) colorway features an inviting palette of creamy hazelnut brown, warm amber, honey, and pearl-cream mineral veining.
Finished in Florim’s refined Matte (Mat/Naturale) surface, this 24x48 large-format slab (~8 sq. ft. per panel) offers a velvety, non-reflective tactile feel with low glare and certified wet-foot traction. It provides a continuous, warm onyx field with minimal grout line interruption, making it ideal for primary bathroom floors, walk-in shower feature walls, fireplace surrounds, and commercial spaces.

Installation and Handling Guidelines
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: OVERSIZED SLAB PROTOCOL
-
Leveling Clip System Required: Installers must use a mechanical tile leveling clip system along joint lines during setting to pull adjacent slab edges flush and eliminate lippage across 48-inch spans.
-
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 White or LATICRETE® Multimax Lite White). Always use white thinset to preserve true translucent honey-and-cream color clarity.
-
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.
-
Running Bond Offset Rule: If installing in a staggered layout, TCNA standards recommend offsetting joints by no more than 33% (approx. 16 inches) rather than a 50% half-brick bond to minimize tile bow lippage.
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 amber, hazelnut, and cream tones across the space.
-
Grout Color Strategy: Pair with a warm taupe, light ivory, or warm beige high-performance grout (such as MAPEI® Ultracolor Plus FA in Biscuit or Warm Gray) to make tile joints blend seamlessly into the onyx background.
Care and Maintenance
-
Routine Cleaning: Clean easily using warm water and a neutral pH porcelain floor cleaner. The non-porous matte surface naturally resists soap scum, water spots, and foot traffic marks.
-
100% Acid & Stain Proof: Impervious vitrified porcelain stoneware (< 0.08% water absorption) protects against cosmetic acids, hair dyes, oils, wine, and household cleaning chemicals.
-
Zero Sealing Required: Unlike natural hazelnut onyx, brown calcite, or alabaster stone, glazed Italian porcelain is non-porous and never requires sealers, topical waxes, or impregnating treatments over its lifespan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Florim Rêves Noisette Matte and Glossy?
The Matte (Naturale) finish features a soft, non-reflective surface with certified foot traction (R10 / DCOF ≥ 0.42)—ideal for main floors and wet bathroom areas. The Glossy finish has a mirror-like polished surface designed to maximize light reflection and mineral depth on feature walls.
Is Florim Rêves Noisette Matte 24x48 suitable for shower floors?
While excellent for main bathroom floors and shower walls, standard shower pans with central point drains typically require smaller mosaics to conform to multi-directional slopes. However, 24x48 slabs work exceptionally well on shower floors utilizing linear trench drains.
Does this onyx-look porcelain slab require sealers?
No. Florim porcelain stoneware is vitrified and non-porous (< 0.08% absorption), requiring zero sealers or topical waxes over its lifespan.
