Ceratec Taj Mahal Argento Matte Porcelain Tile 24" x 48"

Real marble etches, stains and needs sealing. Taj Mahal Argento gives you the marble look in porcelain that does not.

In simple terms: Taj Mahal Argento is a 24x48 marble look porcelain tile for floors and walls, indoors and out.

It is the matte finish in Argento from the Ceratec Taj Mahal range.

The actual size is 23.6" x 47.2" (600 x 1200 mm). It is 9.5 mm thick. The edges are rectified, so it can be set with a tight grout joint. The spec sheet lists PEI IV surface abrasion rating, a wet DCOF slip reading of 0.65, an R10 slip rating and water absorption of 0.04%. It is rated for commercial traffic. It is frost resistant. Shade variation is V2, slight. It is designed by Ceratec in Canada and made in China. Porcelain is fired dense, so it handles water, spills and daily foot traffic and the tile itself never needs sealing.

It suits open-plan floors, living areas, basements, shower and bathroom walls, covered porches and patios and commercial floors such as stores and offices. Pick it over real marble when you want the veining without sealing or etching.

Each box holds 2 pieces and covers 15.47 sq ft, so a 150 sq ft kitchen floor takes 10 boxes, or 11 boxes with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 8 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, Taj Mahal also comes in Greige. Argento also comes in 12" x 24" and 24" x 24". For edges, Ceratec recommends a 1/2" trim profile.
