Installation & Luxury Care

A high-gloss onyx-look floor is a statement piece; keeping it pristine requires the correct professional approach:

• Minimal Grout Joints: Because the tile is rectified (R/L), you can achieve a "monolithic" look by using a $1/16\text{ inch}$ grout joint. We recommend a color-matched Ivory or Bone epoxy grout to make the seams disappear.

• Levelling Systems: For large $24\times 48\text{ inch}$ slabs, the use of a tile leveling system (clips and wedges) is non-negotiable to prevent "lippage" (uneven edges) and ensure a perfectly flat, reflective surface.

• White-Glove Cleaning: Avoid abrasive sponges or acidic cleaners. Use a pH-neutral stone soap and a microfiber mop. For the ultimate "glass" look, buff the floor dry after mopping to eliminate water spots.

• MOHS Hardness: With a MOHS rating of 7, this porcelain is significantly more scratch-resistant than natural onyx, but we still recommend felt pads on all furniture legs to protect the high-gloss Levigato finish.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is it too slippery for a bathroom floor? A: Polished porcelain has a lower DCOF (coefficient of friction) when wet. It is magnificent for master suites and dry areas. If used in a bathroom, we recommend a high-quality bath mat and immediate cleanup of any standing water.

Q: Can I use this on a feature wall? A: Absolutely. In fact, the $24\times 48\text{ inch}$ vertical slabs are a top designer choice for "book-matched" looks in showers, behind headboards, or as fireplace surrounds (it is heat-resistant).

Q: How many unique patterns are there? A: This tile features a V4 variation with at least 15 unique "faces." This high number ensures that when you lay out a large room, you won't see repetitive patterns, preserving the natural onyx illusion.
