Gazzini Antique Lux - Antique Portofino | Italian Porcelain Tile
Antique Lux is a new generation of marble-look porcelain. Gazzini always has a special approach with their marble looks and, with this line, they are taking advantage of exciting new technology to achieve a final product that truly looks and feels like real marble. The glazes are applied in a way that perfectly follows the surface structure, creating veins that you can feel as well as see. The special finish is made the same way as fully polished material, with polishing wheels that rub the surface, but without going as deep as with full polishing, creating an elegant satin finish. The finish also has technical advantages such as better resistance to scratching and no risk of microporosities. By the innovative combination of these two techniques, we have a marble look that is extremely natural to the touch as well as stunningly beautiful. The line comes in 6 colors that are familiar yet unique. Gazzini was inspired by real marble, and then they finessed the graphics and colors to make them even more attractive to market demands.

Installation Information
It is important to blend tile within each carton and from multiple cartons during installation, as well as changing the orientation of pieces with similar graphics to attain a proper mix. Most Italian manufacturers recommend a maximum offset of 8” (20 cm) on all large format tiles when setting a running bond. Please refer to ANSI requirements for setting large format tiles, ANSI A 108.2 section 4.3.8. Using a leveling system can improve the installation of this product.
The Coefficient of Friction is a general guide only. Testing may vary with different production runs and with different testing labs. As noted in the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) the coefficient of friction varies considerably due to facts not under the control of entities such as the manufacturers and distributors. These factors include, but are not limited to, contaminants, slope of terrain, drainage conditions, adjacent surfaces, etc. Suitability for any installation can only be determined by a site examination of all conditions that could affect the slip resistance of the tile being installed. Continual cleaning and maintenance must be performed once the tile has been installed.
