Large Volume Porcelain Tiles

Affordable porcelain tile on this page

This list is priced below the middle of our porcelain range. Part of it is being closed out, and the closeouts also appear on the clearance tile page. On those, the quantity listed is the whole lot, so a bulk order is sized against it before checkout.

Marble look porcelain

Marble look is the largest effect here. Carrara Blanco and Carrara Venato give the soft gray veining of Carrara, Calacatta Bright a whiter ground with bolder veins, and Bianco S, Blanco and Estatuario fill out the white range. Most are 12x24, with a 24x24 Bianco S and a 24x48 Estatuario.

The marble looks come in the widest choice of finishes: polished for a reflective floor, matte or natural for a softer one, and a semi polished Carrara Venato between the two.

Wood look porcelain planks

The wood looks are 8x48 planks: Bark Wood, Cloud, Gris Ardoise, Le Sable and Peau D Elephant, in natural and matte finishes, from light to darker tones. A plank four feet long gives the long boards and few end joints of a wood floor in a tile that does not mind water.

Laid in offset courses, the planks read as a board floor. The maker's installation instructions set the offset and flatness for long planks, and the installer follows them. More of the look is on the wood look tile page.

Slate, fabric and concrete looks

The slate looks are 12x24 in a natural finish: Pizarra, Marfil, Gris Oscuro and Gris Pardo, from beige to dark gray, with the cleft texture of split stone printed on the face. Silver, Carbon and Taupe Blend are fabric looks, a fine woven texture in matte. Coal is a dark concrete look.

Smaller formats include a White 8x8 in matte and a Brera 4x12 glazed subway with a stone look.

Matte, natural and polished finishes

Matte is the commonest finish here and natural the next. Both are unpolished; the natural face keeps more of the pressed texture, which is why the slate and wood looks come in it. Polished is reserved for marble looks, Carrara Blanco, Bianco S, Blanco and Calacatta Bright, where the reflection adds to the stone effect.

Where these tiles are rated

The listings rate this porcelain for interior floors and walls in homes and commercial spaces, for shower walls and for outdoor floors. The White 8x8, the Brera subway and the Bianco S 24x24 also carry a shower floor rating. Most of the list is 25/64 inch, about 10 millimeters, the ordinary thickness for interior floor porcelain, with the wood planks mostly at 5/16 inch.

Shade and caliber codes

Porcelain cartons are printed with a shade code for the color batch they were fired in, and many with a caliber code, the true measured size sorted into groups. Cartons with the same codes belong on the same floor.

Bulk porcelain and wholesale porcelain

This page is chosen on price. The wholesale tile range is large-format porcelain and stone with a discount on full pallets, and a few tiles belong to both. For the material across the whole catalog, see porcelain tile.
