Material benefits that make the difference
Porcelain tiles offer all the visual impact of natural stone, but without the practical drawbacks. These Aran Dark Grey tiles are fully water-absorbent (less than 0.5%), meaning they won't freeze or stain, and retain their color for years. The matte finish is non-reflective, prevents slipping, and conceals minor scratches from everyday use. Rectified edges allow you to install these tiles with minimal grout lines, resulting in a sleeker and more luxurious finish than standard tiles.
Tips for the best results
- Choose a light gray grout (for example, Manhattan gray) to accentuate the marble veining without overpowering the contrast
- Lay the tiles with a minimum joint width of 2-3mm for the most luxurious look
- Vary the placement consciously - mix tiles with different vein patterns for a natural effect
- Combine with warm wood accents on walls or ceiling to balance the cool gray tone
- Use indirect lighting along the walls to subtly highlight the texture of the marble veining
- Consider transitioning to the same size in Aran Grey or Light Grey for connecting rooms
- Clean with a neutral tile cleaner - avoid acidic products that can damage the protective layer

Frequently asked questions about Aran Dark Grey floor tiles
Can I use this tile outside?
This tile is specifically designed for indoor use and has not been tested for frost resistance in the Dutch climate. For patios or paths outdoors, we recommend tiles from our outdoor collection that have been tested for freeze-thaw cycles. Our specialists are happy to help you find a similar aesthetic for outdoor projects.
How many tiles do I need for my space?
Calculate your surface area in square meters and add 10% for waste and reserve. With 1.44 m² per box, you can easily determine how many boxes you need. For example, for a 20 m² space, you need approximately 15-16 boxes (20 m² + 10% = 22 m² ÷ 1.44 = 15.3 boxes).
Can I combine these tiles with other colours from the Aran series?
Absolutely! Aran Dark Grey combines beautifully with Aran Grey and Aran Light Grey for subtle transitions between rooms. You can also use different shades to define zones within a single room, such as a darker kitchen area and a lighter dining area.
What grout color do you recommend?
For the most luxurious look, we recommend a light gray grout such as Manhattan gray or silver gray. This beautifully highlights the marble veining without creating a clash. For a more modern, sleek look, you can also choose a dark gray grout that almost blends in with the tile.
Is this tile suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes, porcelain tile conducts heat excellently and is perfectly suited for underfloor heating. Be sure to use tile adhesive and grout suitable for underfloor heating, such as those from our partner Litokol.
