Gazzini Marquinia | Italian Porcelain Tile
It is not easy to emulate the true, deep black of the popular Nero Marquinia marble from Spain but Gazzini rose to the challenge with their Marquinia series. Using the purest raw materials in their colored-body porcelain clay, they were able to obtain a genuine black color. By adding the marble’s distinctive white veins, this porcelain is recognizable as a superior interpretation of a classic and dramatic choice. It is suitable for residential applications.

Additional Information
Trim
The Surface Bullnose is made from field tile that is cut, ground and then reglazed. The rounded edge on Lappato finish GIMABKL/SBN is not fully polished.
Installation Information
Most Italian manufacturers recommend a maximum offset of 8” (20cm) 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.
Lappato Cleaning And Maintenance
The Lappato finish is suitable for walls and for residential bathroom floors. As with all shiny material, the polished surface is susceptible to scratching during installation and use, and extra care should be taken when handling and grouting.
Polished material can be etched with acids. Avoid detergents, solvents or acid-based products containing hydrochloric acid, citric acid, acetic acid or abrasive components. Do not use cleaning agents like abrasive cleaners which might scratch the surface. It is advisable to test a small area in a discreet section of the tiles before proceeding to clean the whole surface.
Usage
Gazzini Marquinia is suitable for residential applications.

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.
