Tundra Marble Look Porcelain Tile

Tundra marble has been quarried from Mount Grey in western Turkey for centuries, where heat and pressure turn limestone into marble with soft, cloud-like grey and white veining. Tundra captures that look in a full range of tiles, mosaics and pavers, so you can carry one stone look through your whole home, inside and out.

Which finish do I choose?

  • Matt SmoothGrip: smooth, non-shiny surface for floors, walls and outdoor areas. Available in 75×300, 300×600, 600×600 and 600×1200, plus the mosaics.
  • Lappato: a soft, semi-polished sheen for indoor floors and walls. Available in 600×600 and 600×1200.
  • Polished: high-shine surface for indoor floors and walls. Available in 300×600, 600×600 and 600×1200.
  • Structured 20mm Paver: a 20mm thick outdoor paver with a textured surface. Available in 600x600x20 and 600x1200x20.

Mosaics and Trims

Tundra also comes in Matt SmoothGrip mosaics (Chevron, Finger, Herringbone and Square), a French Pattern set and a 400x600x20 bullnose piece, so every part of the project matches.

Tile sizes and edges

The tiles have rectified edges, a precise square edge that can be laid with a fine grout joint.

As a V3 high variation, Tundra shows strong movement in its veining from one tile to the next.

Where Tundra fits

Tundra works on floors and walls in homes and light commercial spaces, and on outdoor areas too. Use the Matt SmoothGrip tiles and 20mm pavers outside, and keep the Lappato and Polished tiles indoors.

Care and Maintenance

Tiles ask very little, and the routine matters more than the product. Regular sweeping and washing stops grit building up, protects the surface finish and makes a deep clean far less of a job.

Based on the guidance in AS 3958.1–2007, Appendix C. General advice only — tile types, finishes and installation conditions vary. If you are not sure what suits your tiles, check with a qualified tiler.

Everyday cleaning
  • Sweep or vacuum before you mop. Loose grit is what scratches a floor, not foot traffic.
  • Mop with warm water and a pH-neutral, sulphate-free cleaner.
  • Rinse with clean water and do not let the cleaner dry on the tile — residue is what causes streaks and dulls a finish.
  • Wipe spills as they happen. Grout takes up a spill faster than the tile does.
Occasional deep clean
  • Use a high-alkaline detergent, above pH 9, for greasy build-up in kitchens and entries.
  • On textured or structured tiles, let the cleaner sit for a few minutes before scrubbing so it can work into the surface.
  • Steam or pressure cleaning can be used from time to time.
  • Always finish with a clean water rinse.
After a new floor is laid
  • Let the grout cure for as long as your tiler specifies before washing the floor properly.
  • A light film of grout haze is normal. It needs the right product to remove — ask your tiler rather than reaching for a household cleaner.
  • Keep mats and rugs off a new floor until the adhesive and grout have fully cured.
Keeping it that way
  • Mats at every external door, including wherever pets come in and out.
  • More cleaning product is not better. Over-applying leaves a residue that holds dirt.
  • Skip household soaps. They leave a film that reads as slippery and dull.
  • Felt pads under furniture legs, and lift rather than drag anything heavy.
  • If rinsing is awkward, use a no-rinse detergent instead of leaving residue behind.
Safe to use, and what to avoid

Safe to use

  • pH-neutral, sulphate-free cleaners for everyday use
  • Soft brushes and non-abrasive cleaning pads
  • High-alkaline detergent, occasionally, for grease
  • Proprietary abrasive cleaners on unglazed tile only

Avoid

  • Acidic cleaners — they attack grout and haze a glazed surface
  • Abrasive pads on glazed tile
  • Overusing high-alkaline detergent
  • Scrubbing machines fitted with coarse pads
  • Wax and oil-based polishes
