Material advantages that convince
This Original Thassus floor tile combines the visual impact of natural stone with the practical advantages of high-quality porcelain. Its class 5 abrasion resistance means it can withstand heavy use, including high heels, heavy furniture, and pet claws. Its water absorption of less than 0.5% makes it perfectly suitable for wet areas, while the matte finish provides a non-slip effect and hides fingerprints. Unlike natural stone, these tiles never require sealing or impregnationโan advantage that translates to years of carefree beauty.
Tips for the best results
- Choose a light gray grout (Litokol Starlike C.280 Pearl Gray) to optimize the marble look without drowning out the veins
- For the most natural marble effect, lay the tiles in a continuous pattern, alternating the grain directions.
- Place warm LED lighting low against the walls to subtly make the golden yellow veins glow
- Combine with dark accents such as black steel or dark green for a luxurious contrast that makes the white base shine.
- Use underfloor heating to complete the luxury hotel experience โ porcelain conducts heat excellently
- Protect during construction with breathable foil to prevent cement and plaster residues
- Clean only with pH neutral products (Litokol Ceramic Clean) to optimally maintain the matte finish

Frequently asked questions about Original Thassus 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 Dutch climate conditions. For outdoor projects such as patios, we recommend tiles from our specially developed collections, which have been tested for freeze-thaw cycles and have anti-slip properties for wet conditions. Our tile specialists are happy to help you select the perfect outdoor tiles.
What is the best way to lay these large tiles?
Professional installation is highly recommended for 89x89 cm tiles due to the weight and precision required. Use a quality adhesive (such as Litokol Hyperflex K100) and ensure a perfectly flat surface. The continuous laying pattern creates the most natural marble effect, with varying grain direction for an authentic look.
What is the difference between this tile and real Thassus marble?
This porcelain tile mimics the aesthetics of Thassus marble but offers superior practical properties: no porous structure to absorb stains, no need for sealing, increased wear resistance, and consistent thickness. You get the luxurious look without the high-maintenance nature of natural stone.
What grout color do you recommend?
For the most elegant look, we recommend a light gray grout that complements the subtle gray veining in the marble pattern. Litokol Starlike 210 Greige is ideal for this. Avoid grout that is too dark, as it visually diminishes the tiles, or grout that is too white, as it can look unnatural with marble-look tiles.
