Ceratec Prive Ivory Matte Porcelain Plank Tile 8" x 48"

Hardwood does not belong in a wet bathroom or a damp basement. Prive Ivory gives you the wood look in porcelain that can go there.

In simple terms: Prive Ivory is an 8x48 wood look porcelain plank tile for floors and walls, indoors and out.

It is the matte finish in Ivory from the Ceratec Prive range.

The actual size is 7.9" x 47.2" (200 x 1200 mm). It is 10 mm thick. The edges are rectified, so it can be set with a tight grout joint. The body is coloured to match the surface, so a chip shows less than it would on a white-body tile. The spec sheet lists a wet DCOF slip reading above 0.42, an R10 slip rating and water absorption below 0.5%. It is rated for heavy commercial traffic. It is frost resistant. Shade variation is V3, moderate. It is made in Italy. Porcelain is fired dense, so it handles water, spills and daily foot traffic and the tile itself never needs sealing.

It suits basements, kitchens and bathrooms where hardwood would not stand up to water, open-plan floors, living areas, shower and bathroom walls, covered porches and patios and commercial floors such as stores and offices. Pick it over hardwood or laminate anywhere the floor can get wet.

Each box holds 4 pieces and covers 10.11 sq ft, so a 150 sq ft kitchen floor takes 15 boxes, or 17 boxes with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 11 boxes with the 10% extra included.

It is listed for outdoor use, but an outdoor floor also needs the right base and slope, so ask us before planning it outside.

In this size, Prive also comes in Clay, Grey and Wenge. For edges, Ceratec recommends a 1/2" trim profile.

Our own crews install it, so the people who measure the job are the people who answer for it. See Ceratec Prive Ivory in person at our Mississauga showroom (700 Dundas St E, Unit 3-4, 905-277-2227) or our Barrie showroom (112 Saunders Rd, Units 1-4, 705-726-2272).
