Ceratec Venice Villa Silver Matte Porcelain Tile 24" x 24"

Poured terrazzo is ground and sealed on site, and it is hard to fix. Venice Villa Silver gives you the terrazzo look in porcelain.

In simple terms: Venice Villa Silver is a 24x24 terrazzo look porcelain tile for floors and walls, indoors and out.

It is the matte finish in Silver from the Ceratec Venice Villa range.

The actual size is 23.6" x 23.6" (600 x 600 mm). It is 10 mm thick. The edges are rectified, so it can be set with a tight grout joint. It is full-body porcelain: the colour runs through the tile, so a chip blends in. 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 V2, slight. 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 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 terrazzo when you want the look with no sealing.

Each box holds 3 pieces and covers 11.61 sq ft, so a 150 sq ft kitchen floor takes 13 boxes, or 15 boxes with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 10 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, Venice Villa also comes in Graphite, Ivory, White and Zinc. 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 Venice Villa Silver 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).
