Ozial Dark Grey Gold Marble Effect Tile is a 60x120cm polished porcelain wall and floor tile with a charcoal-grey background and warm gold veining. It is 8.5mm thick, rectified, suitable for underfloor heating and priced at £24.99 per m² at Tiles Paradise (September 2026). Each box holds 2 tiles, which covers 1.44 m².
The Ozial suits bathroom walls, feature walls, dry floors, kitchens and hallways. It is not a shower-floor tile, because the listing does not publish a slip rating. This guide covers the look, the real cost, box maths, grout colours, slip safety, installation and cleaning, so you can order the right amount the first time.

What Does the Ozial Dark Grey Gold Marble Effect Tile Look Like?
The Ozial has a deep charcoal-to-slate grey base crossed by thin, warm gold veins. It sits darker than most grey marble effect tiles, which usually stay in a mid-grey range. The gold veining adds warmth, so the tile looks rich rather than cold.
The polished face reflects light like a mirror. Under bright bathroom or kitchen lighting, the charcoal lifts slightly and the gold lines catch the light. In low light, the tile reads almost black with a soft gold glow.
Is the Ozial Tile Real Marble?
No, the Ozial is not real marble. It is porcelain with a digitally printed marble pattern that is fired into the glaze at high temperature. The pattern will not peel or wear off under normal use.
Porcelain also avoids the weak points of real marble. It does not etch from lemon juice or vinegar, and it does not need sealing. For a fuller comparison, read our guide to marble effect porcelain vs real marble tiles.
How Dark Is "Dark Grey" on the Ozial?
The Ozial is a true dark grey, close to charcoal. It is lighter than black and gold tiles such as Nero or Marquina styles, and much darker than white-grey tiles such as Statuario Mercury. If you like black and gold but find it too heavy, the Ozial is the softer option.
Screen colours vary, so order a sample before you buy. A £1.99 cut sample shows the base tone and the gold in your own light.
How Much Does the Ozial Dark Grey Gold Tile Cost?
The Ozial costs £24.99 per m² at Tiles Paradise, down from an RRP of £39.99 (prices checked September 2026). One box of 2 tiles covers 1.44 m², so a box works out at about £35.99. That is roughly £17.99 per tile.
The cost of tiles is only part of the budget. Adhesive, grout, levelling clips and fitting add to the total. For a full room budget, see our guide on how much it costs to tile a bathroom.
How Much Is Delivery for Ozial Tiles?
Standard pallet delivery is free on orders over £499 to UK mainland, in 2–4 working days. Orders from £100 to £499 pay £39.99 for standard pallet delivery. Next-working-day pallet delivery is available on many orders, depending on postcode and cut-off time.
Here is a useful number: 14 boxes (20.16 m²) of Ozial costs about £503.80, which passes the £499 free-delivery line. If your project needs 18–19 m², check whether rounding up to 14 boxes costs less than paying delivery on a smaller order.
How Many Boxes of Ozial Do You Need?
To work out boxes, measure your area in m², add 10% for cuts, then divide by 1.44 and round up. Add 15% instead of 10% for a one-third offset, a herringbone-style layout or a room with many corners.
The table uses 10% wastage and £24.99 per m².
| Area | Size (m²) | Boxes | Coverage (m²) | Tiles | Approx. tile cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloakroom floor | 2 | 2 | 2.88 | 4 | £71.97 |
| En-suite floor | 4 | 4 | 5.76 | 8 | £143.94 |
| Family bathroom floor | 5 | 4 | 5.76 | 8 | £143.94 |
| Shower enclosure, 3 walls | 7.5 | 6 | 8.64 | 12 | £215.91 |
| Hallway floor | 8 | 7 | 10.08 | 14 | £251.90 |
| Kitchen floor | 15 | 12 | 17.28 | 24 | £431.83 |
| Bathroom walls, full height | 18 | 14 | 20.16 | 28 | £503.80 |
| Open-plan kitchen-diner | 30 | 23 | 33.12 | 46 | £827.67 |
For exact room shapes, use the free Tiles Paradise tile calculator. It deducts doors and windows and adds wastage for you.
Order every box in one go. Large tiles are made in batches, and shade can shift slightly between batches. One spare box also covers future repairs.
Where Can Ozial Dark Grey Gold Tiles Be Used?
The Ozial is an indoor wall and floor tile. It works best on walls, feature walls and floors that stay dry.
Bathroom Feature Walls
A feature wall behind a bath, basin or bed is the Ozial's strongest use. The 60x120cm size means fewer grout lines, so the gold veins run across the wall with little interruption. Laid vertically, the tiles also make a low ceiling look taller.
Shower Walls and Wet-Room Walls
Shower walls are a good fit. Porcelain resists water, and the polished face wipes clean. Use a tanking system behind the tiles, because grout and adhesive are not waterproof on their own.
Bathroom, Hallway and Living Room Floors
Dry floors work well, including hallways, living rooms and bathroom floors outside the shower. In a bathroom, place a bath mat where people step out of the shower or bath. The shine is part of the look, but it becomes slippery when wet.
Kitchen Floors and Splashbacks
A dark grey gold floor grounds a kitchen with white, cream or light oak units. Wipe spills quickly, as water and oil make polished floors slippery. As a splashback, one or two 60x120cm tiles give a near-seamless slab look behind a hob or sink.
Can Ozial Tiles Be Used Outside?
No, the Ozial is not listed for outdoor use. A polished 8.5mm tile is unsafe on wet patios. For gardens and terraces, choose a 20mm matt outdoor porcelain tile instead.
Is the Ozial Tile Slippery on a Bathroom Floor?
Yes, the Ozial can be slippery when wet, like most polished porcelain. The product listing does not publish an R-rating or a pendulum test value (PTV), so treat it as a tile for walls and dry floors.
UK slip guidance uses the wet pendulum test. A wet PTV of 36 or higher means low slip potential, 25 to 35 means moderate, and 24 or lower means high. Polished porcelain often tests in the high-risk band when wet.
Listed below are the safer ways to use the Ozial in a bathroom:
- Use the Ozial on walls and a matt anti-slip tile on the shower floor.
- Keep a bath mat at the bath and shower exit.
- Choose a walk-in shower tray instead of a tiled wet-room floor.
- For a similar dark marble look underfoot, consider a matt tile such as Athos Grey Anti-Slip Matt 60x120cm.
Homes with elderly people or young children should use anti-slip tiles on bathroom floors. Our guide to slip-resistant grey marble effect bathroom floor tiles explains R-ratings in more detail.
Is the Ozial Tile a Good Choice for a Small Bathroom?
Yes, the Ozial can work in a small bathroom if you control the light and the amount of dark surface. Large tiles mean fewer grout lines, which makes a small room look calmer and bigger.
Listed below are the rules that stop a small dark bathroom feeling closed in:
- Tile one feature wall in Ozial and keep other walls light.
- Lay tiles vertically to lift the ceiling height.
- Add a large mirror and warm-white lighting (around 3000K).
- Pair with white sanitaryware and brushed gold taps.
For room-by-room grey schemes, read our grey bathroom tiles buying guide.
What Grout Colour Goes With Ozial Dark Grey Gold Tiles?
Anthracite grout is the best all-round match for the Ozial. A dark joint blends into the charcoal base, so the tile looks like one continuous slab. It also hides dirt on floors.
| Grout effect | Grout colour | Result | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seamless (recommended) | Mapei Ultracolor Plus 114 Anthracite | Joints almost disappear | Floors, feature walls |
| Darker outline | Mapei Ultracolor Plus 120 Black | Darker than the tile, crisp outline | Moody, low-light schemes |
| Soft grid | Mapei Ultracolor Plus 110 Manhattan Grey | Light joints show the tile layout | Walls only; shows dirt on floors |
| Avoid | White | Every joint stands out | Not recommended |
Test your grout on a sample tile first. Grout dries lighter or darker than it looks wet.
How Much Grout Do You Need for Ozial Tiles?
A 60x120cm tile with 2mm joints needs about 0.08 kg of grout per m². A 5 kg bag covers roughly 65 m² before mixing waste. Wider 3mm joints need about 50% more grout.
For most bathrooms, one bag of grout is enough. Our how to grout tiles guide covers mixing, filling and cleaning the joints.
What Colours, Fixtures and Finishes Pair With Dark Grey and Gold Tiles?
Brushed gold and brushed brass fittings pair best, because they echo the gold veins. Matt black fittings also work for a stronger, modern contrast. Chrome is fine but feels cooler next to the warm gold.
Listed below are pairings that suit the Ozial:
- Sanitaryware: white gloss or matt white for contrast.
- Wall partner: white-grey marble, such as Statuario Mercury Grey Polished 60x120cm, on the other walls.
- Wood: light oak or walnut vanity units add warmth.
- Towel rail: anthracite, black or brushed gold.
- Paint: warm white, greige or soft taupe on untiled walls.
Can Ozial Tiles Be Used With Underfloor Heating?
Yes, the Ozial is compatible with electric mat and water-fed underfloor heating. Porcelain carries heat well, and the 8.5mm thickness warms up quickly.
Use a flexible S1 cement-based adhesive over heated floors. Switch the heating off before tiling. After the adhesive has cured, bring the heating up slowly, a few degrees per day. Follow the adhesive maker's cure times, which are often 7 days or more. Our guide to laying porcelain floor tiles over underfloor heating explains each step.
How Do You Install 60x120cm Ozial Tiles?
Install Ozial tiles on a flat, solid, primed surface using a flexible S1 adhesive and full back-buttering. Large polished tiles show every bump, so preparation matters more than with small tiles.
Listed below are the key installation steps:
- Check flatness. The floor should not vary by more than about 3mm over a 2m straight edge. Level uneven floors with a self-levelling compound.
- Dry-lay first. Printed marble faces repeat, so lay tiles out and spread similar patterns across the room.
- Trowel and back-butter. Use a 10–12mm notched trowel and spread a thin coat on the back of each tile for full coverage.
- Use levelling clips. Clips keep neighbouring edges flush and reduce lippage.
- Limit the offset to one-third. A brick-bond layout offset by one-third, rather than half, reduces lippage on long tiles.
- Keep joints at 2–3mm. Rectified edges allow narrow joints. Use 3mm on floors for a little extra tolerance.
Can Ozial Tiles Go on Plaster or Plasterboard?
Ozial tiles can usually go on plasterboard, but not on bare gypsum plaster. An 8.5mm porcelain tile weighs about 20–23 kg per m², and adhesive adds several kilograms more.
| Wall surface | Max tile + adhesive weight (BS 5385) |
|---|---|
| Gypsum plaster | 20 kg/m² |
| 12.5mm gypsum plasterboard | 32 kg/m² |
| Cement-based tile backer board | 50 kg/m² |
Plastered walls should be stripped back or overboarded with a backer board before tiling. Read more in our guide to wall tile weight limits for wet rooms.
What Tools Do You Need for 60x120cm Tiles?
You need a long rail tile cutter or wet saw, a 10–12mm notched trowel, levelling clips and wedges, a 2m straight edge and two large suction lifters. Two people make handling 60x120cm tiles much safer. Use diamond core bits at slow speed for pipe holes.
Does the Ozial Tile Need Sealing?
No, the Ozial does not need sealing. Porcelain has very low water absorption and the polished face is already closed. Only the grout benefits from sealing in wet areas, unless you use a sealed or epoxy-style grout.
How Do You Clean and Maintain Polished Dark Grey Porcelain?
Clean Ozial tiles with warm water and a pH-neutral tile cleaner, then dry with a microfibre cloth. Dark polished surfaces show footprints, dust and water spots more than light or matt tiles, so drying is the key step.
Listed below are simple care rules:
- Sweep or vacuum before mopping, as grit can dull the shine.
- Use a flat microfibre mop, not a string mop.
- Remove grout haze within 24–48 hours of grouting with a haze remover.
- In hard-water areas, wipe shower walls dry to stop limescale spots.
- Avoid wax, oil soaps and abrasive pads.
For deeper cleaning tips, read our guide to cleaning bathroom tiles and grout.
What Should You Check When Ozial Tiles Arrive?
Check every box before fitting a single tile. Tiles laid are usually treated as accepted.
Listed below are the checks to make:
- Count the boxes against your order.
- Check that the batch and shade codes match on every box.
- Open a few boxes and inspect edges and corners for chips.
- Lay several tiles side by side in daylight to confirm the shade.
- Report any damage quickly using the Tiles Paradise damages page.

Who Is the Ozial Dark Grey Gold Tile Best For?
The Ozial is best for homeowners who want a dark, luxury marble look at a mid-range price. It suits feature walls, hotel-style bathrooms, hallways and kitchens with light cabinets.
The Ozial is not the right choice for shower floors, wet-room floors, outdoor areas or homes where a slip risk must be kept low. It is also less forgiving if you dislike wiping away footprints and water spots.

Ozial Dark Grey Gold Buyer FAQs
What size is the Ozial tile?
The Ozial tile is 60x120cm (600x1200mm), which is about 23.6 x 47.2 inches. It is 8.5mm thick.
How many Ozial tiles are in a box?
Each box contains 2 Ozial tiles, which cover 1.44 m². You need 1.39 tiles per m².
Are Ozial tiles rectified?
Yes, Ozial tiles are rectified. The edges are machine-cut square, which allows grout joints as narrow as 2mm.
Is the Ozial tile porcelain or ceramic?
The Ozial tile is porcelain. Porcelain is denser and more water-resistant than standard ceramic wall tiles, so it suits floors and walls.
Can the Ozial tile be used on a shower floor?
No, the Ozial should not be used on a shower floor. The listing does not publish a wet slip rating, and polished porcelain is slippery when wet.
Can Ozial tiles be laid vertically on walls?
Yes, Ozial tiles can be laid vertically. Vertical 60x120cm tiles make ceilings look higher, which helps in small bathrooms.
Can Ozial tiles be laid in a herringbone pattern?
A herringbone pattern is possible but not ideal with 60x120cm tiles. It creates many cuts and more waste, so allow 15–20% extra and use an experienced tiler.
Will the gold veins fade over time?
No, the gold veins will not fade under normal indoor use. The pattern is printed and fired into the tile, not painted on the surface.
Does the Ozial tile scratch easily?
Polished porcelain is hard, but grit can leave fine marks on the shine. Use felt pads under furniture and doormats at entrances.
Is there a lighter version of the Ozial tile?
Tiles Paradise currently lists the Ozial in one colour, Dark Grey Gold. For a lighter partner tile, pair it with Statuario Mercury Grey Polished 60x120cm on nearby walls.
Is the Ozial tile suitable for commercial spaces?
Yes, the Ozial suits commercial walls and dry floors, such as hotel bathrooms, reception areas and retail interiors. For commercial floors that may get wet, check the slip requirement with your specifier first.
Can Ozial tiles be used on stairs?
No, polished Ozial tiles are not recommended for stair treads. Stairs need a slip-resistant surface and nosing, so use a matt anti-slip tile instead.
Is the Ozial or black and gold tile better?
Neither is better; they suit different rooms. The Ozial is softer and warmer, while black and gold tiles give stronger contrast. In smaller or darker rooms, the Ozial is usually easier to live with.
Can I get an Ozial sample?
Yes, you can order an Ozial cut sample for £1.99 or a 20x50cm sample for £7.99 from the product page. A larger sample shows more of the gold veining.
How long does Ozial delivery take?
Standard pallet delivery takes 2–4 working days to UK mainland. Next-working-day delivery is available on many orders, depending on your postcode.
