Nero Marquina — 80 x 160 cm GVT — Glazed Vitrified Tile
Deep black crossed by clean, angular white veining, after the Basque Marquina marbles. It is one of the strongest statements available in a tile, and at 800x1600 it works best as a single wall or a defined floor area rather than as a material used throughout.

Nero Marquina — common questions
What grout colour suits Nero Marquina?
Black. A tone-matched grout makes a floor read as one continuous surface; a contrasting grout reinstates the grid and makes the room look smaller, which is rarely what anyone wants after paying for a large format.
Is Nero Marquina suitable for wet areas?
Its slip rating is R10. R10 is acceptable for a bathroom or kitchen floor, R11 for external areas, wet rooms and poolsides, and R9 should be kept to dry interior floors and to walls.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, and you should. No screen or printed catalogue reproduces a tile's tone accurately, and shade is what buyers most often find differs from what they expected. We send physical samples before any container is committed.
Will a repeat order match?
We hold the body and glaze recipe and the shade reference for every production run, so a repeat is matched far more closely than buying the nearest equivalent elsewhere. For an exact match across a project, order the whole quantity in one firing run and keep attic stock.
