Gazzini Marmo White Beauty | Italian Glazed Porcelain Tile
Gazzini’s new marble, White Beauty, is their interpretation of the real marble with the same name. They wanted to make a marble with green tones and selected the White Beauty because it’s a unique material that is now difficult to find and extremely expensive due to the quarry closing in 2023. They achieved the realistic look and feel by using large quantities of glaze and layering them in a way to get the very deep green and black veins that are the defining part of this marble’s look. They also brush the surface which creates additional depth in the graphic and also gives it a touch that feels honed.

Installation Information
It should be noted that there is a wide range of variation with many different graphics that are mixed and packed randomly. To attain the proper mix of graphics and color, it is important to pull from multiple boxes during installation, rotate pieces, and note the placement of the different images to get the proper final blend.
Most tile 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.
24 x 48
Due to the special packing required for the large format tiles, orders for the 24 x 48 size must be for full box quantities only & we are not able to fill orders on the same day as placed.
Usage
Marmo White Beauty is suitable for walls and floors including residential and light to moderate commercial use.
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.
