Xtone Calacatta Green Silk 120 x 250cm

The 120 x 250 cm format allows you to cover much larger surface areas – particularly full-height bathroom walls – with fewer tiles and therefore far fewer grout lines, creating a more uninterrupted, slab-like marble effect. This can make a bathroom feel taller and more spacious, as the green and white veining flows continuously across the wall without being broken up by regular grout joints. The 120 x 120 cm version may be easier to handle in tighter spaces or where precise cutting around fixtures is required, so your choice will largely depend on the scale of your bathroom and the look you wish to achieve.

Yes, the silk finish on this porcelain tile is an excellent choice for shower walls, as the non-porous nature of porcelain means it is fully waterproof and resistant to the damp, humid conditions of a shower enclosure. The silk surface is also easier to maintain in a shower environment compared to a highly polished finish, as it is less prone to showing hard water marks and soap residue. The rectified edges allow for very tight grout joints, which further reduces the number of potential areas where moisture could penetrate, provided the installation is carried out correctly with appropriate waterproofing membranes.

Yes, the Xtone Calacatta Green Silk 120 x 250cm is confirmed as compatible with underfloor heating, and porcelain is one of the most efficient materials for use with these systems due to its excellent thermal conductivity. The large 120 x 250 cm format and slim 6mm thickness mean the tile will heat up and cool down relatively quickly, making the system more responsive. It is important to use a flexible adhesive suitable for large-format tiles over underfloor heating, and to allow the adhesive to fully cure before activating the heating system – your installer will be able to advise on the correct curing period.
