Porcelanosa Calacatta Antico 120x120cm

Yes, the Calacatta Antico 120x120cm is a porcelain tile suitable for both floor and wall applications in bathrooms and kitchens, including wet areas such as shower enclosures. Porcelain is inherently dense and low in porosity, making it highly resistant to water absorption – an important quality for shower walls and bathroom floors. Ensure you use a waterproof adhesive and grout appropriate for large-format porcelain tiles to achieve a watertight finish.

The Calacatta Antico 120x120cm requires 0.72 tiles per square metre, and each box contains 1 tile covering 1.44 m², so for a 10 m² floor you would need a minimum of 8 boxes. As always, we recommend ordering 10-15% extra to allow for cuts, particularly important with a large-format tile where a single cut piece represents a significant amount of material. Large tiles like this also require a very flat, properly prepared subfloor and an experienced tiler familiar with handling oversized porcelain slabs.

The Calacatta Antico 120x120cm features a gloss finish, which enhances the luxurious marble effect and reflects light beautifully, but it is worth considering slip resistance carefully if you plan to use it on a bathroom floor. We recommend checking the tile’s specific slip resistance rating with our team before installation in wet floor areas, and using a suitable anti-slip additive in the grout or placing bath mats in high-risk areas such as in front of the shower or bath. For walls and lower-risk floor areas, the gloss finish is a stunning choice that adds a true sense of luxury to the space.
