Steep Marble Grey 60x120 Full Lappato Rectified Porcelain Tile

The Meeting of Architectural Aesthetics and Natural Stone Texture: Steep Marble Series

In modern architecture, floor and wall coverings are among the main elements that define the entire character of a space. The Steep Marble Series brings the timeless and noble stance of natural marble to your living spaces by blending it with today's high ceramic technology. The homogeneous distribution of light and dark gray tones, combined with distinct and elegant marble veins, adds a spacious, serene, yet prestigious atmosphere to the environment. Thanks to its large format size of 600x1200 mm (24’’x48’’), it creates a seamless and expansive visual perception in spaces.

Full Lappato Surface Technology and Play of Light

One of the most important features that makes the Steep Marble series special is the Full Lappato processing technique applied to its surface. Unlike ordinary matte or fully polished glazes, Full Lappato is obtained by precisely polishing the tile surface with special diamond abrasives up to a semi-gloss level. This special technique allows light to reflect softly and smoothly on the surface, increasing the sense of depth. The shimmer on the surface highlights the realism of the marble veins while creating a luxurious environment in the spaces.

Technical Superiorities and High Performance Values

The Steep Marble series not only meets aesthetic expectations but is also produced to high technical standards to withstand demanding usage conditions:

• Size and Thickness: The 600x1200 mm ideal modular size, with a 9 mm standard porcelain thickness, provides both mechanical strength and does not impose extra load on the structure during application.
• Rectified Edge Processing: The product edges are trimmed with laser-cutting precision after production (rectified). This feature allows the tiles to be laid with extremely narrow grout lines, such as 1.5 mm. Minimizing the grout line allows you to achieve the appearance of a monolithic marble slab on the floor.
• Pattern Variation (V2) and 4 Different Faces: The product has 4 different graphic surface patterns (faces). Thanks to the slight color and texture variation at the V2 level, tiles laid side by side do not repeat each other; they offer a unique flow just like in nature.
• High Bending and Breaking Resistance: The porcelain body, pressed under high pressure, shows high resistance to heavy pedestrian traffic and mechanical loads. It is maximally resistant to cracking, breaking, and bending.
• Low Water Absorption Resistance: Thanks to its near-zero water absorption rate (E < 0.5%), it is stain-resistant and unaffected by moisture and water. This makes the product highly protected against freezing and temperature changes.

Wide Usage Areas and Ease of Application

Steep Marble porcelain tile has a versatile usage area thanks to its technical parameters. It can be safely preferred for bathroom wall and floor coverings, kitchen backsplashes and floor tiles, living room and hallway floors in residential areas. In commercial projects, it maintains its form for many years in areas where heavy traffic and aesthetics are at the forefront, such as hotel lobbies, restaurants, stores, and office buildings. Additionally, it is 100% compatible with underfloor heating systems and performs heat conduction perfectly.

Cleaning and Maintenance Advantages

The Full Lappato surface structure prevents dirt and stains from penetrating the surface thanks to its smooth and tightened non-porous texture. Using only warm water and a neutral detergent for daily cleaning is sufficient to maintain the surface's original shine and hygiene. It offers years of trouble-free use without the need for acidic or heavy abrasive chemicals.
