This is the "Luminous Atmosphere" of the collection. While standard white marble can feel sharp or clinical, the Reves Perle Glossy 12x24 by Florim (Rex) offers a "Dreamlike Pearl" aesthetic. It is the premier choice for a "Transitional Glamour" or "Modern French" look, prioritizing a soft, shifting palette of iridescent creams and misty greys that mimic the world’s finest alabaster.

PRODUCT TITLE

Reves de Rex Series: Perle 12" x 24" Glossy (Lucido) Rectified Porcelain Tile

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Step into a space defined by soft light and Italian elegance. The Reves Perle is a high-fashion interpretation of precious, translucent minerals, rendered with Florim’s world-leading inkjet technology. The "Perle" (Pearl) palette is a sophisticated masterclass in neutrals, featuring a base of warm ivory "shattered" by delicate veins of silver and dove grey. Unlike flat porcelain, this tile possesses a visual "depth" that makes the surface appear to glow from within.

The 12" x 24" format is the ultimate architectural standard, offering a balanced symmetry that works perfectly for both vertical wall applications and grand flooring. The Glossy (Lucido) finish acts as a crystalline mirror, reflecting light to make even small master baths or windowless corridors feel expansive and radiant. Because this tile is Rectified, the edges are precision-cut to allow for ultra-fine 1/16" grout joints, achieving a near-seamless "slab" look.

SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: Reves Perle is a high-clarity, light-toned porcelain. You must use a High-Quality White Polymer-Modified Thin-set. Using gray mortar will "shadow" the tile from behind, permanently dulling the bright, pearlescent brilliance of the finish.

Manufacturer Recommendations:

• Recommended Grout: Use a High-Performance Grout in "Frost," "Avalanche," or "Light Grey." Matching the grout to the tile's lightest tones creates the most seamless, high-end effect.

• Leveling System: To fully utilize the rectified edges and prevent "lippage," we strongly recommend a mechanical tile leveling system (clips and wedges).

• 1/3 Offset Rule: If staggering the tiles, do not exceed a 33% (1/3) offset. A 50% "brick" bond is not recommended for 24-inch tiles to ensure a perfectly flat floor.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Is it too slippery for a shower? The Glossy finish is very slick when wet. It is breathtaking on bathroom floors, but for the actual shower pan, we recommend using the matching Reves Perle mosaic for better traction.

• Does it require sealing? No. Unlike natural alabaster or marble, this glazed porcelain is non-porous and resistant to acids, oils, and soaps.

• Can I use this on a fireplace? Yes. Porcelain is heat-resistant and the "Perle" finish looks stunning when catching the flicker of a fire.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• The "Pearl-Shifting" Dry-Lay: Open 3–4 boxes and shuffle the tiles. Rotate them 180° during layout to ensure the silver veins flow naturally across the room without creating "patterns."

• Vertical "Height" Hack: Install these tiles vertically on shower walls. The glossy, vertical lines will draw the eye upward, making a standard 8-foot ceiling feel significantly higher.

• Microfiber Buffing: After the final grout cleanup, buff the polished surface with a dry microfiber cloth. This removes the microscopic haze and reveals the true, "wet-look" depth of the Perle finish.
