Marble Tile

​

Tiles - tiles - of Italian and Spanish marble: 3 cm, 2 cm, 1.5 cm, 1 cm, and more.

Some considerations about our Tiles production.

To be rigorous, we must refer to slabs or tiles of marble and other natural stones, such as standard-size cladding pieces (such as ceramic pieces) that are used to cover floors and walls and that the construction market generically called  "Tile" or "Tiles".

These tiles, or more generically floors, pavements, and marble cladding, due to their analogy with ceramic (not natural) cladding, implicitly refer to a thickness of 1 cm. Depending on the strength of the natural stone and the size of the tile, the thickness can be 1 cm or more: 1.2 cm or 1.3 cm.

Of course, in the case of ceramic tiles that have greater resistance, pieces of 1 cm thickness can be manufactured even in large dimensions.

In the case of "low thickness marble tiles, 1 cm", the dimension of the pieces will depend on the type of marble. For example, a White Carrara marble can be made 60 x 60 x 1 cm or (24 x 24 "for the American market) x 1 cm thick.

​

An ivory cream marble, on the other hand, can be made 60 x 60 x 1.5 cm, although we recommend a minimum thickness of 2 cm, for greater security.

​

The pieces of marble cut to size and commonly called, "cut to sizes" in English, are generally pieces of different dimensions, not standard but "low designed" and with a thickness of 1.5 cm; 2 and up to 3 cm (in the case of facades or high pedestrian traffic).

Therefore, for us, tiles are the natural stones of 1 cm coatings when this is possible and 1.2 , 1.3 , 1.5 and 2 cm when the type of marble does not allow it to be manufactured in low thickness, and of standard, small, medium dimensions, and big.

The "cut to sizes" in English, is the type of coating that falls into the category of artistic manufacturing or production and is backed by a specific design by the designer.

 

These same coatings can also be with designs that combine various types of marbles or natural stones and that are generally produced with water jet technology and subsequent assembly by hand.

This is considered artistic manufacturing, under design outside the standard.

In the following photo gallery, you can see examples of 1 cm and 2 cm thick marble Tiles, standard measurements, as well as floor and wall coverings with designs, manufactured with a "water jet" cut-off system or with "numerical control" and compositions of various marbles of different colors.
