ABK Sensi Nuance Coloured Marble Porcelain Tiles

Sensi Nuance is the coloured-marble chapter of ABK’s SENSI project — five stones chosen for tone as much as veining, reproduced in full-body porcelain at up to 120x280cm.

The five marbles

Deep River is a pale blue-grey crossed by fine bronze veins; Sea Green a saturated green stone in the manner of Verde Alpi; Quarzite Fusion a fusion of ivory, gold and slate-blue quartzite; White Macaubas a quiet white with straight, wind-blown banding; and Patagonia Wow the show-piece — a crystalline granite-marble in cream and cognac that ABK also supply as BookMatch pairs (Slab A + Slab B mirror each other for feature walls, as do Deep River pairs).

Specification

• Material: Full-body porcelain stoneware, made in Italy by ABK (Fiorano, Modena)
• Thicknesses: 6mm (120x280) and 8.5mm (120x120, 60x120)
• Finishes: Soft, Soft 3D and polished Lux 3D on the slabs; matt Naturale (P.tech R10 C anti-slip) and Lux 3D on floor sizes
• Slip rating: Naturale surfaces are P.tech R10 C — suitable for bathrooms and wet rooms
• Application: Internal floors and walls; 6mm slabs are ideal for walls, showers and refacing

How to use it

Treat the coloured stones (Sea Green, Deep River) as you would joinery or upholstery — one strong surface, everything else quiet. The BookMatch pairs are designed to be centred: order both slabs A and B and set out from the mirror line. White Macaubas is the safest whole-room stone of the five; its banding runs cleanly through 120x120 floors.

See it before you buy

Marble-effect porcelain lives or dies on the quality of the graphic, and no thumbnail does a 2.8-metre slab justice. Samples are available to order, and the ABK ranges are on display at our luxury interiors showroom in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, where you can see whole slabs rather than chips.
