Super White Polished Porcelain 80x80cm Wall & Floor Tile

Super white polished porcelain tiles deliver a clean, high-gloss surface that reflects light and makes any room feel larger and more refined. Available in 60x60cm and 80x80cm formats, the collection suits both residential and commercial interiors.

With a 9.5mm body thickness and rectified edges, each tile lays flush with minimal grout joints — creating a seamless, uninterrupted surface across floors and walls.

What Is Super White Porcelain?

Super white porcelain is a full-body vitrified tile fired at extremely high temperatures, producing a dense, near-zero water absorption body. The result is a tile harder and more durable than standard ceramic or glazed alternatives.

The "super white" tone refers to a true, bright paper white — not an off-white or cream. It differs from standard white tiles by carrying no yellow, grey, or warm undertone, making it ideal for minimalist, Scandinavian, and contemporary interiors.

Polished Finish: Mirror Gloss Explained

The polished surface is mechanically ground and buffed to a high-gloss, mirror-like finish after firing. This process gives polished porcelain tiles an inherent luminosity — bouncing light across the room and visually expanding the space.

The finish is harder and more scratch-resistant than glazed ceramic. It also amplifies the brightness of the white body, producing a crisp, hotel-grade aesthetic that suits both compact bathrooms and open-plan living areas.

Rectified Edges: Why It Matters

Rectified tiles are precision-cut after firing using a mechanical saw — ensuring every tile is exactly the same size with perfectly squared edges. This allows installation with grout joints as narrow as 1.5mm to 2mm.

Narrower joints reduce grout lines visually, making large-format white tiles appear as a continuous slab surface. The result is cleaner, more architectural, and far more premium-looking than non-rectified alternatives.

9.5mm Thickness and Structural Performance

At 9.5mm thick, these tiles offer a solid, robust format suitable for both wall and floor applications. The body density provides excellent load-bearing capacity, resistance to impact, and long-term dimensional stability.

For floor installations, the 9.5mm profile is compatible with standard tile adhesive bed depths. It also works seamlessly with underfloor heating systems — both electric mat and warm water pipe formats — making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and open living spaces.

Available Sizes in the Collection

The 60x60cm super white tile is one of the most versatile formats for both residential floors and walls. The 80x80cm option creates a grand, expansive finish in open-plan spaces.

Suitable Rooms and Installation Areas

Super white polished porcelain works across virtually every room in the home. Below are the primary applications:

• Bathrooms — walls, floors, shower enclosures, wet rooms

• Kitchens — floors, splashbacks, worktop surrounds

• Hallways — large-format floor tiles for a welcoming entrance

• Living rooms — seamless polished floor finish

• Commercial spaces — hotels, restaurants, retail showrooms

The non-porous surface resists moisture, staining, and bacteria — making it fully suitable for wet room and food preparation environments. Browse premium bathroom tiles and kitchen tiles to see full room-specific options.

Onyx White Polished: Veined Alternatives

For buyers who want the brightness of super white alongside subtle natural movement, onyx white polished tiles introduce delicate veining patterns inspired by natural onyx stone. The base remains a bright white — the veining adds depth without compromising the overall lightness.

The Mirage Onyx White Polished 60x60cm and Imperio Bianco White Polished 60x120cm are particularly popular for bathroom feature walls and open-plan living floors. Explore the wider onyx tiles range for more veined options.

Marble Effect vs Plain Super White

Marble effect polished porcelain tiles replicate the natural veining of Carrara, Calacatta, and Statuario marble — at a fraction of the cost and with far superior durability. Unlike natural marble, porcelain requires no sealing, does not etch from acids, and maintains its surface finish for decades.

Plain super white tiles offer a more uniform, clean aesthetic — ideal for minimalist interiors. Marble effect tiles suit those who want organic movement and visual texture while retaining the bright white base tone.

Technical Specifications at a Glance

Slip Resistance and Safety Considerations

Polished tiles carry a lower dry slip rating than matt or textured surfaces — a common concern for buyers. Indoors and in dry conditions, polished porcelain performs safely underfoot in hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms.

For wet areas such as shower floors and pool surrounds, a matt or anti-slip finish is recommended. The Gemstone Onyx White Matt Anti-Slip 60x60cm offers a white finish with R10 anti-slip rating — suitable for shower trays and wet room floors. Check all tiles for the full range of finish options.

How to Calculate Coverage

Coverage is sold per square metre (sqm). To calculate the required quantity:

1. Measure the room length (m) x room width (m) = total sqm

2. Add 10% for cuts, waste, and future repairs

3. Round up to the nearest full box

Each box contains 4 tiles. The 60x60cm tile covers 0.36 sqm per tile (1.44 sqm per box). The 80x80cm tile covers 0.64 sqm per tile (2.56 sqm per box).
