Essential Bianco 8x48 Marble Look Porcelain Tile

Marble elegance, drawn out into a long, modern format. Essential Bianco is an 8x48 marble look porcelain tile in soft white, its veining carried along the length of each piece for a look you will not get from standard squares.

The matte finish keeps the marble character understated rather than showy, which suits contemporary and transitional rooms alike. Made in Italy by Opera Group, it brings genuine Italian tile craft to the floor without marble's sealing, etching, and staining worries. Each piece covers about 2.48 square feet, with four to the box. A one-third offset flatters the 48-inch length, and a bright white grout lets the veining flow from piece to piece almost invisibly.

Run it through bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces, laid brick-style on floors or stacked on walls for a crisp architectural line.

Start with a single piece and check the veining against your countertop and paint samples at home; white marbles are personal, and this one deserves a look in your own light.
