Calacatta Verde Matt Carved Floor Tile - Where art and functionality meet
The Calacatta Verde Matt Carved floor tile is a masterpiece of modern tile technology. The matte background creates a soothing base, while the characteristic green veins subtly emerge and have a glossy finish. This carved technique means you can literally feel the veins—they are slightly raised and give the tile a unique texture that catches the light in different ways. The result is a tile that evokes the natural beauty of Calacatta marble, but with a contemporary twist that stands out in any interior.
Versatile applications throughout the house
The matte finish makes this tile particularly versatile and suitable for areas where comfort and safety are important:
-
Bathroom & Shower Room: The matte finish offers more grip than glossy tiles, while the green veins exude a spa-like serenity
-
Kitchen: No worries about fingerprints or water marks, while the carved veins create an artistic accent behind your stove
-
Living room: Create a contemporary base that doesn't distract from your furniture, but adds character through the subtle sheen of the veins
-
Bedroom: The matte warmth under your feet and the soothing green tones make this tile perfect for a relaxing atmosphere
-
Office or study: The professional look with artistic details inspires creativity without distraction.
Design possibilities that inspire
The contrast between matte and gloss opens up unique styling possibilities:
-
Monochrome elegance: Combine with different shades of gray to make the green veins pop
-
Warm contrast: Pairing with gold or copper accents that make the shiny veins shine
-
Natural harmony: Mix with wooden elements that enhance the matte warmth of the tile
-
Modern minimalism: Let the tile speak in a clean interior where the carved texture becomes the focal point
Tips for the best results
- Choose a neutral grout (light gray or beige) to enhance the matte finish without disrupting the glossy veining
- Place indirect light along the walls to subtly accentuate the carved texture and create shadow play
- Combine with matte black accents for a modern, graphic look
- Use different light sources to make the matte-gloss interplay come into its own
- Clean with a damp microfiber cloth – the matte finish hides drying streaks better than glossy tiles
- Consider Litokol grout products for a professional finish that respects texture
- Plan the tile direction so that the veins create a natural flow through your space

Frequently asked questions about Calacatta Verde Mat Carved tiles
What exactly does 'carved' mean on this tile?
The carved technique means the green veins are subtly raised against the matte surface. You can literally feel them when you stroke the tile. These veins also have a glossy finish, creating a beautiful contrast with the matte base. The result is a tile with real depth and texture that reflects light interestingly.
Is the matte finish harder to keep clean than glossy?
On the contrary! Matte tiles are actually easier to maintain because they hide water marks, fingerprints, and light scratches much better. For daily cleaning, a damp microfiber cloth is sufficient. For the carved veins, you can occasionally use a soft brush to remove dust from the texture.
Can I use this tile outside?
This tile is designed for indoor use and has not been tested for the varying outdoor weather conditions. For patios or garden paths, we recommend tiles specifically designed for outdoor use with proven frost resistance. Our specialists are happy to help you find the right outdoor tiles with the Calacatta marble look.
Are the shiny veins vulnerable to scratches?
The glossy veins are made of the same ceramic material as the rest of the tile and are therefore equally scratch-resistant. Because they are raised, they do come into contact with shoes and furniture a little more, but with normal use and proper underlay protection (doormats, furniture feet), they will remain beautiful for years.
