The Eternity Marquina Black marble-inspired tiles zone the wet area of this bathroom, creating an exclusive enclosure within the bigger bathroom space.

With its dramatic streaks and high gloss finish, marble is a material that has long been associated with luxury. Throw in elements of drama and masculinity when you choose dark, inky marble looks! Nocturnal tones of marble are trending with discerning male homeowners, but this selection is not limited to masculine tastes. Black or dark marble hues make a classic pairing with white-based marble, and can help to anchor or zone a space, or simply create a visual statement.

Using marble-inspired tiles remove the unpredictability of marble veining and colour tones in natural marble so you are more certain of the final outcome. Tiles are also more durable, and as they’re not as porous, they are easier to clean than natural marble. Safety in the home especially the bathroom, is enhanced with tiles as they come with non-slip finishes. Compared with marble slabs, tiles are also easier to install, saving money and time in your renovation. Finally, if you’re concerned that tiles might not look as good as the actual material, set your mind at ease with the gorgeous spaces below, featuring black marble surfaces all created using marble-inspired tiles! 

Élite

The Élite collection interprets marble found in the finest Italian, Spanish and African quarries with contemporary style. The veinings are subtle, with complex colour variations in the darkest hues of Dark Brown (pictured above left and middle), and Pietra Grey (pictured above right). Glossy and natural finishes are available for the tiles that come in three sizes, the largest being 60cm by 120cm. Bookmatched designs are also available to create a special feature wall.

Vanity

Going hand-in-hand with its radiant marble looks are the luxurious sizes that the marble-inspired tiles of the Vanity collection come in. Featuring subtle patterns, light shading and soft veins, the collection offers three tile sizes, with the largest being 120cm by 260cm. This ensures seamless surfaces with as few joint lines as possible, as seen in the Glossy Dark Brown and Glossy Pietra Grey tiles pictured above. The Kerlite slabs are a mere 6.5mm-thick, yet boast superior resistance and durability. The Vanity tiles also come with the Protect anti-bacterial quality.

Eternity

The authenticity of marble is brought to fore with the Eternity collection. The coal-coloured Marquina Black tile is the darkest of the four hues offered, which come in two finishes, Soft and glossy Lux. The Eternity tiles are ultra-thin, being only 9.5mm thick and are available in three sizes. 

Unique Marble 

Who knew elegant marble and contemporary resin could make such a great-looking pair? The Unique Marble marble-inspired tile collection takes five of the world’s most exclusive marble types and pairs them with cool milky blue resin for bold dramatic contrast. The dark Sahara Noir tile as it is (pictured above) presents an intricate web of bronze and white veining. Unique Marble is available in various sizes, thicknesses, and in two finishes.
