Faux marble tiles

6 months ago

Hi wise people- I am looking for recommendations for a faux marble wall tile for our primary bath. Ideally, a large format tile 12 by 24, with white background and grey and beige tones. This is a photo of marble tile and a faux which has simpler veining. Trying to figure out if I can find a more realistic version. I am not interested in maintaining marble.

Daltile Perpetuo has a warm and a cool white marble look. It has multiple sizes and finishes also. It's also moderately priced, and Made in the US, so much more readily available than the import stuff that F&D uses.

Hi there. I used 12x24". I got my first look at these at a RBC showroom. I ordered them through Nebraska furniture Mart near me that carried some RBC tile lines. RBC only sells to the trades I believe. Nebraska Furniture Mart special order them for me from RBC. I DYI'd the tile job. If I had it to over again I would have used a larger grout space to hide my slightly uneven lipage.

@Patricia Colwell most likely the niche will be on the right hand wall in the big shower or we will keep the low ledge so all the items are not directly displayed when looking into the room. the model has a super high ledge, ours is about the height of a standard tub edge. for the stall upstairs shower we arent set which wall. its a metal framed home so its where ever one could fit and if it cant we may do a stack of a few corner shelves next to the facet and shower head. also that smaller shower is in a side 'hall' so when you look into the bathroom its to the side. here is a Pic of the layout in the model. you don't see in the shower unless you are using the toilet or getting in it. I hate caddies cause they never stay together or end up rusting. plus i dont want more things taking up room in the shower itself.

IMO bathroom floors and shower walls should be the same and I like 12 x24 for both fewer grout lines are always a better choice and polished is just easier to care for .

TileBar.com has three that might be close to what you’re looking for. They have hundreds of large format tiles in porcelain so be careful - easy to get lost on that website.
Here is a photo of three I found right away.

When looking at these tiles you need to have a true white as the control color. These tiles can appear to have a "white" background until you put them up against a true white and then you notice that the tile is actually very gray, and some are very blue-gray.

If you can, go bigger on the size. Less grout is always a positive. I used 30" x 30" on my master shower walls.

I used Atlas Concorde - Marvel Edge - Royal Calacatta, but I just looked at their website and they no longer have that collection, which I bought 2.5 years ago. I compared a lot of marble-look porcelain tile brands/collections to find one that had a warmer white background and not a cool gray one.
