Olympia Tile Marmi Europa Calacatta Borghini Matte Porcelain Bookmatch B Slab 64" x 128"

Fewer grout lines is the reason people choose a slab. At 64" x 128", each piece of Marmi Europa Calacatta Borghini Bookmatch B covers about 56 sq ft, so a shower wall, a fireplace face or a floor goes up with very few joints to clean.

In simple terms: Marmi Europa Calacatta Borghini Bookmatch B is a 64x128 marble look porcelain slab for floors and walls, indoors.

It is the matte finish in Calacatta Borghini from the Olympia Tile Marmi Europa range. It has a marble and stone look. It is the B slab of a bookmatched A and B pair, so the veining mirrors across the two. The actual size is 63.78" x 127.56", or 162 x 324 cm.

It is 12 mm thick. The body is coloured to match the surface, so a chip shows less than it would on a white-body tile. It is rated for medium commercial traffic. Porcelain is fired dense, so it handles water, spills and daily foot traffic and the tile itself does not need sealing.

It suits feature walls, shower walls, fireplace surrounds and large open floors. Pick it over standard tile when you want the wall or floor to read as one surface.

Each slab covers 56.5 sq ft, so a 100 sq ft floor takes 2 slabs, and that still leaves about 10% extra for cuts and spares. Bookmatched slabs are sold as a matched A and B pair, so order the A and B slabs together. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 2 slabs with the 10% extra included.

No outdoor rating is listed, so keep it indoors: no porches, patios or exterior walls. A slab this size needs a flat substrate and a crew used to handling it; ours are.

In this size, Marmi Europa also comes in Pearl, Basaltino Vulcano, Calacatta Extra, Noce Canaletto and Grey Stone.

Our own crews install it, so the people who measure the job are the people who answer for it.
