This is the "Architectural Horizon" of the collection. While the 12x24 format is a classic, the Reves Perle Matte 32x71by Florim (Rex) is a monumental statement of modern Italian design. It is the premier choice for a "High-End Gallery" or "Organic Minimalist" aesthetic, prioritizing massive, nearly six-foot-long surfaces with a soft, non-reflective finish that feels like hand-honed precious stone.

PRODUCT TITLE

Reves de Rex Series: Perle 32" x 71" Matte (Naturale) Rectified Porcelain Slab

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Experience the "Dream" (Reves) of limitless space. The Reves Perle in this expansive 32" x 71" format (80x180 cm) transitions from being a tile to an architectural skin. Using Florim’s world-leading inkjet technology, the "Perle" palette is rendered across a vast surface, showcasing a sophisticated wash of warm ivory, silver-grey "clouds," and delicate alabaster veining.

The Matte (Naturale) finish offers a contemporary, velvety texture that eliminates harsh glare and reflections. This allows the organic, shifting tones of the pearl-inspired mineral patterns to remain the focal point. Because this slab is Rectified, it can be installed with nearly invisible 1/16" grout joints, creating the illusion of a solid, custom-quarried stone block. Whether used for a seamless master suite floor or as a dramatic floor-to-ceiling wall in a luxury spa, the 32x71 Perle brings an unparalleled sense of calm and prestige.

KEY FEATURES

• Grand 32" x 71" Scale: A monumental dimension that covers nearly 16 square feet per piece, reducing grout lines by over 70% compared to standard tiles.

• Sophisticated Matte Surface: A non-reflective, satin-like finish that provides a modern, "honed" look and hides water spots and footprints with ease.

• Pearl-Alabaster Aesthetic: Replicates the soft, translucent movement of rare minerals with incredible high-definition depth.

• Precision Rectified Edges: Machine-ground for exact dimensions, enabling ultra-thin grout lines for a clean, monolithic architectural grid.

• Premium Italian Build: Engineered for extreme density and durability, offering a stain-resistant alternative to porous natural stones.

SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL HANDLING: At 75 lbs per piece and nearly 6 feet in length, this is an "Elite Category" installation. It requires a two-person lift and professional-grade vacuum suction cup lifters. Any subfloor unevenness will cause these slabs to crack or create significant "lippage."

Manufacturer Recommendations:

• Recommended Grout: Use a High-Performance Grout in "Frost" or "Avalanche." Matching the grout exactly to the pearl-ivory base is essential to maintain the "seamless slab" illusion.

• Mortar: You must use a Large Format Tile (LFT) Polymer-Modified White Thin-set. Gray mortar will shadow the light-toned minerals and dull the "clean" aesthetic of the Perle.

• Leveling System: A Mechanical Tile Leveling System is mandatory. Without clips and wedges, it is virtually impossible to keep a 71-inch slab perfectly flat.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Is it safe for a bathroom floor? Yes. The Matte finish provides superior slip resistance compared to the Glossy version, making it the preferred choice for large master bathroom floors.

• How do I clean such a large matte surface? Matte porcelain is incredibly low-maintenance. Use a pH-neutral cleaner and a microfiber mop; you won't have to worry about the "streaking" common with polished surfaces.

• Can I use this on walls? Absolutely. One slab can often cover the height of a vanity or the majority of a shower wall, creating a stunning, seamless "stone-cladding" look.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• Substrate Flatness: Your floor must be flat within 1/8" over 10 feet. If it isn't, you must use a self-leveling underlayment before installation.

• Double-Buttering: Apply thin-set to the back of the slab and the floor. This is vital for 71-inch pieces to ensure there are zero air pockets, which could lead to cracking under pressure.

• The "Vein-Flow" Check: Before setting, dry-lay the slabs to ensure the silver veins flow artistically throughout the room. Avoid "clumping" the darker clouds in one corner.
