The Collections

Marble Effect Tiles

Marble effect tiles give you the look of Calacatta, Carrara and onyx marble in porcelain, delivered UK-wide from Ark Tiles. Nearly every tile in this collection is porcelain, in polished, matt, honed and lappato finishes and in sizes from 60x120cm up to 120x240cm and 120x260cm slabs, for walls with very few grout lines. Ranges include RAK Ceramics Calacatta Gold and Versilia, plus our own marble-effect porcelain such as Eden Ivory. Polished finishes reflect light and make a room feel brighter; matt and honed finishes give a softer, stone-like look. Each product page lists the size, finish, coverage per pack and whether it is a wall-and-floor tile.

Polished and gloss marble-effect tiles

Most of the marble-effect tiles in this collection have a polished or gloss face, which reflects light and, as the product pages describe, brings out the veining. Choose super-polished onyx looks such as Opal White, polished Statuario looks such as Statuario White, gloss and high-gloss tiles such as Eden Ivory, Halo White and Imperial Black, the black polished porcelain Royale Black, or Valencia Aqua in a supershine finish. For a softer sheen, Crystal White has a lappato (semi-polished) finish. Prefer a polished stone look? See polished and gloss stone-effect tiles such as Tuscany Beige and RAK Salone. For floors, check the slip rating and suitability on each product page.

FAQs

Are marble effect tiles real marble?
No. They are porcelain with a marble-look surface, so you get the veining without sealing natural stone. The material is listed in the specification on every product page.

Polished or matt marble effect tiles?
Polished tiles reflect light and suit a glossy, luxury look; matt and honed tiles are softer and less reflective. For floors, check the product page: most marble-effect tiles here don't list an anti-slip rating.

What's the difference between polished, gloss and lappato tiles?
Polished, super-polished, gloss and supershine tiles all have a shiny, light-reflecting face. Lappato is semi-polished, with a softer sheen. Matt and honed tiles have little shine. The exact finish is listed in the specification on every product page. Order free cut-size samples (£4.99 delivery, up to 5) to compare finishes in your own light.

Can I use marble effect tiles on the floor?
Many are wall-and-floor tiles: look for "Wall & Floor" in the title or the product details. The largest 120x240cm and 120x260cm slabs are usually chosen for walls.

Can I get a sample?
Yes. Cut-size samples are free (£0), with £4.99 delivery per order for up to 5, or take one home from our Coventry showroom (Mon–Fri 9–6, Sat 10–5).
