Coralina

The Coralina tiles are a generous 90x90cm format, making them particularly well suited to larger open-plan spaces such as kitchen-diners, commercial receptions, and spacious hallways. The larger format helps to create a feeling of continuity and openness, with fewer grout lines interrupting the travertine-effect surface. In smaller rooms, a 90x90cm tile can still work well and may even enhance the sense of space, provided the layout is planned carefully to minimise awkward cuts.

Yes, the Coralina collection is explicitly designed to be suitable for both residential and commercial applications. Its combination of aesthetic appeal and durability makes it a practical choice for high-footfall environments such as offices, retail spaces, and hospitality settings. Always check the tile’s technical specification – including its slip resistance rating and PEI wear rating – to confirm it meets the demands of your specific commercial environment.

A travertine effect tile is a porcelain tile that has been designed to replicate the look of natural travertine stone, complete with its characteristic veining, tonal variation, and subtle surface texture. The advantage over real travertine is that Coralina offers the same visual warmth and character without the porosity and maintenance demands of natural stone – it will not require sealing and is far more resistant to staining. Modern porcelain printing technology means the effect is highly convincing, especially across a larger 90x90cm surface area.

The Coralina tiles are described as versatile and durable, and their porcelain construction makes them inherently resistant to water and moisture. For use in a bathroom floor or wet area, we recommend confirming the tile’s slip resistance rating before ordering – a rating of R10 or above is typically advised for wet floor surfaces. Our team at Stoke Tiles can help you verify the technical specifications to ensure the tile is the right choice for your project.

For large format tiles like the 90x90cm Coralina, a large-format tile adhesive – typically a flexible, polymer-modified adhesive rated for heavy tiles – is strongly recommended to ensure full coverage and a secure bond. A notched trowel with a large notch size (often 12mm or greater) helps achieve the necessary coverage on the back of the tile. Grout joints of at least 3mm are advisable to accommodate any slight movement in the substrate, and a skilled tiler will also ensure adequate expansion joints are incorporated around the perimeter of the installation.
