Xtone Calacatta Gold Silk 150 x 300cm

The silk finish has a soft, semi-sheen appearance that is more subtle than the high-gloss polished finish, offering a refined look while being more forgiving of fingerprints, watermarks, and general kitchen mess. In a busy kitchen environment, the silk finish is often the more practical choice for floors, as it is easier to keep looking clean day-to-day compared to a polished surface. Both finishes carry the same striking Calacatta Gold marble effect with golden veining, so the choice largely comes down to how much shine you want in the finished room.

Absolutely – the Xtone Calacatta Gold Silk 150 x 300cm is rated suitable for both floor and wall applications in kitchens and bathrooms, making it ideal for creating a seamless, flowing aesthetic across an open-plan space. Using the same tile on both surfaces with matching rectified joints produces a wraparound marble effect that feels cohesive and luxurious. The large 150 x 300cm format is especially effective on feature walls, where the scale of the tile allows the full sweep of the golden veining to be appreciated.

Because this tile has rectified edges – meaning the edges are precisely cut to exact dimensions after firing – it can be laid with very narrow grout joints, typically as small as 2-3mm, to achieve a near-seamless appearance. Narrower joints emphasise the continuous marble effect and give the finish a more polished, contemporary look. We recommend using a grout colour that closely matches the white background of the tile to keep the focus on the Calacatta Gold veining rather than the joints themselves.
