Savage Dark

Savage Dark is available in two sizes: 120 x 120cm and 120 x 250cm, both of which are genuinely large-format tiles that create a dramatic, contemporary look. The 120 x 250cm format is particularly effective in larger rooms, hallways, or open-plan spaces where it minimises grout lines and gives the impression of a continuous surface. The 120 x 120cm option can work beautifully in more compact spaces, including bathrooms, where its scale still makes an impact without overwhelming the room.

Yes, Savage Dark is specifically listed as suitable for shower walls, making it an excellent choice for wet room and walk-in shower projects where you want to create a luxurious, spa-like aesthetic. Because it is a rectified porcelain tile, the edges are precision-cut, which allows for very fine grout joints and a seamless appearance even across large surfaces. Always ensure the tile is correctly waterproofed behind using a suitable tanking system, and use an appropriate epoxy or flexible grout for wet areas.

The polished finish enhances the dramatic veining of the dark marble effect and reflects light beautifully, making it ideal for walls, feature areas, and internal floors in lower-traffic spaces where you want maximum visual impact. The matt finish offers a more subtle, understated look and provides better slip resistance underfoot, making it the more practical choice for floor tiles in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where safety matters. Many customers choose polished for walls and matt for floors to get the best of both aesthetics and practicality.

Rectified tiles have been precision-cut after firing to ensure perfectly straight, consistent edges and exact dimensions across every tile. For a large-format tile like Savage Dark, this is particularly important because it allows tiles to be laid with very thin grout joints, creating the near-seamless marble effect look the design is intended to achieve. Non-rectified tiles have slightly uneven edges that require wider grout joints, which would disrupt the clean, architectural appearance of this type of tile.

As a porcelain tile rather than natural marble, Savage Dark is far more resistant to staining, etching, and everyday wear than genuine marble, and it does not require sealing. Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral tile cleaner and warm water is all that is needed to maintain its appearance, whether polished or matt. Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads on the polished finish as these can dull the surface over time, and always clean up spills promptly to prevent any residue build-up in the grout lines.
