Product description
Carrara Effect gresX2 by COEM brings white Carrara marble outdoors — soft grey veining on a bright white ground, in a 2cm anti-slip body that marble itself could never survive.
The collection
gresX2 is Coem's 2 cm outdoor porcelain. The doubled thickness doubles the breaking load, so the same slab can be dry-laid straight onto grass, gravel or sand, set on adjustable pedestals for a raised terrace, or bedded in adhesive over a screed for a driveway. It is frost proof, fire proof, R11 anti-slip, resistant to chemicals and abrasion, and can be lifted and replaced at any time without breaking anything up.

How to use it
Use Carrara Effect to bring a white marble look to terraces, pool surrounds and roof terraces, where real marble would stain, slip or crack in frost. Pair it with planting and pale render for a bright Mediterranean feel.
Laying
- On grass, gravel or sand — no adhesive or grout, walkable immediately, lift and replace at will.
- Raised pedestals — 5 supports per slab (4 corners, 1 centre) for inspectable terraces with services beneath.
- Adhesive on screed — for vehicle-trafficked surfaces; prepare the slab to suit the intended use.

FAQs
How much should I order?
Measure the area in m² and add 10% for cuts, breakages and spares for future repairs (15% for herringbone or diagonal layouts). Tiles are sold in full boxes only. Use the box calculator next to the price: it adds the 10%, rounds up to whole boxes and fills in the quantity for you.
What does rectified mean?
Rectified tiles are ground to an exact size after firing, giving straight, sharp edges. That allows tight grout joints of around 2–3 mm. Non-rectified (natural-edge) tiles need a slightly wider joint.
What do R10, R11 and A+B mean?
R ratings (DIN 51130) measure slip resistance in shoes: R10 suits most indoor floors, and R11 suits outdoor areas and wet, heavy-use spaces. A+B (DIN 51097) is the barefoot wet rating, used for showers and pool surrounds. The rating for your chosen finish is shown under Technical information.
What does V3 shade variation mean?
V3 means moderate variation in shade and pattern from tile to tile, as you'd see in natural stone. Draw tiles from several boxes as you lay, so the variation spreads evenly across the floor.
How long does delivery take?
COEM tiles are shipped from Italy, typically within 2–4 weeks. Delivery is free on orders of £750 and over; under that, pallet delivery is calculated at checkout. Large-format tiles and slabs (90 × 90 cm and above) always carry a delivery charge, calculated at checkout. Call us on 01782 617517 if you need a firm date.
