Persian Onyx Gold White Glossy Porcelain Tiles 60x120cm Wall & Floor Tile

Persian Onyx Gold White Glossy Porcelain Tiles bring the refined elegance of ancient Iranian onyx stone into modern interiors. A white base with flowing gold veining creates a light-reflective surface that feels both timeless and high-end.

Available in 60x60cm and 60x120cm formats, the polished gloss finish suits walls, floors, and feature areas across all residential and commercial settings.

What Is Persian Onyx Stone?

Persian Onyx originates from Iran, historically one of the world's most prized sources of natural onyx. The stone is known for its translucency, parallel colour bands, and distinctive gold-to-amber veining running across a white or cream ground.

Porcelain tiles in this style replicate that natural beauty through high-resolution digital printing, delivering the same visual impact without the fragility or high maintenance cost of genuine natural stone.

60x60cm vs 60x120cm: Size Comparison

For larger bathrooms or open-plan living spaces, the large format floor tiles in 60x120cm create a near-seamless finish that visually expands the space.

Rectified Edges and Minimal Grout Lines

Rectified tiles are precision-cut to exact dimensions after firing, allowing grout joints as narrow as 2mm. Tighter grout lines mean the gold-veined pattern flows without interruption across the entire surface.

This is particularly valuable on wall tiles where pattern continuity defines the overall aesthetic of a room.

Bathroom Applications

Persian Onyx Gold White Glossy Tiles transform a standard bathroom into a spa-like space. The glossy surface reflects moisture and light simultaneously, giving wet rooms a hotel-quality finish.

Pair with brushed gold fixtures and freestanding baths to draw out the gold veining in the tile. For full design inspiration, explore gold bathroom tile ideas for luxury bathrooms further below.

Kitchen Wall and Splashback Use

As a kitchen splashback or feature wall, the gold-on-white palette pairs naturally with both dark and light cabinetry. Dark matte cabinets create sharp contrast; cream or white cabinets allow the veining to take centre stage.

Browse complementary kitchen tiles to create a coordinated kitchen scheme.

Living Room and Hallway Floors

The polished finish of Persian Onyx Gold White Glossy tiles works exceptionally well in hallways and living spaces where natural light enters from multiple angles. Sunlight activates the reflective surface and brings the gold veining to life throughout the day.

High-gloss porcelain tiles in large formats reduce the visual weight of a floor and make high-traffic corridors feel wider and more elegant.

Porcelain vs Natural Onyx Stone

Porcelain delivers the visual character of genuine Persian onyx at a fraction of the cost, with none of the vulnerability to staining or cracking.

Installation Tips for Gold Onyx Tiles

Proper installation preserves the polished surface and tight grout lines that define the Persian Onyx look. Key considerations include:

1. Level substrate — Any variation in the subfloor will show through a glossy surface. Ensure the base is flat to within 3mm over 2 metres.

2. Flexible tile adhesive — Use S1 or S2 rated flexible adhesive, especially for floors with underfloor heating.

3. Spacers — Use 2mm spacers for a near-grout-free finish on rectified tiles.

4. Grouting — Choose a grey or gold-toned grout that complements the veining rather than contrasting sharply.

5. Cleaning after installation — Remove grout haze with a pH-neutral cleaner to protect the gloss surface.

For professional-grade results, always have rectified large-format tiles installed by an experienced tiler.

Why Choose Persian Onyx Gold White Glossy?

The combination of a white ground with gold veining occupies a rare space in interior design — neutral enough to work with almost any colour palette, yet distinctive enough to serve as a feature in its own right.

Unlike grey tiles or plain porcelain tiles, the Persian Onyx Gold White palette adds warmth without heaviness, making it equally suited to compact bathrooms and expansive open-plan floors.

Gold Bathroom Tile Ideas for Luxury Bathrooms

Gold-veined tiles have become a defining material in luxury bathroom design. The Persian Onyx Gold White finish suits several popular design directions:
