Porcelanosa Japan Marine 25×44.3cm

Yes, the Japan Marine is specifically designed for wall applications in bathrooms and kitchens, and its calming grey/silver matt finish makes it particularly well-suited to creating a serene feature wall behind a bath or basin. With 9 tiles per square metre, a 2 m² feature wall would require 18 tiles – just over one box, as each box contains 15 tiles covering 1 m². We recommend purchasing 2 boxes to cover the area with enough spare tiles for cuts and any future touch-ups.

The Japan Marine has a matt finish with a subtle texture inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, which gives it a tactile, understated quality. Matt ceramic tiles can be slightly more prone to showing grease marks in a kitchen compared to gloss finishes, but they are straightforward to clean with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent. Sealing the grout lines regularly will also help to keep the wall looking fresh in a kitchen setting where splashes and steam are common.

Yes, the Japan Marine and Japan Blanco are part of the same Japan range and share the same 25 x 44.3 cm format, matt finish, and ceramic material – making them an ideal pairing for a two-tone wall design. The contrast between the cool grey/silver of the Marine and the clean white of the Blanco creates a striking yet balanced look, whether used in alternating rows, panels, or as an accent band. Because both tiles have 9 tiles per square metre, planning your layout and quantities is also straightforward.
