La Fenice Etoile | Italian Glazed Porcelain Tile
Etoile is La Fenice’s latest high-end marble look where they use their superior glazes and knowledge to create incredible depth and a soft finish. They blended quartzite and onyx graphics to come up with a crystalline marble look that has movement without strong veins and that has so much depth that really feels like you are looking through translucent layers on top to see many other layers beneath the surface. The Bianco and Beige colors are right on trend and perfect in this look; the pale blue Azzurro color stands out because it is something unique and special.

Additional Information
Please Note
It’s never advisable to select tile from images alone, especially when viewed on a screen since they can look different on different kinds of screens. Pictures are provided to give an idea of the look and variation. Colors are intended as a guide only and may vary from actual tile. Sizes listed are nominal. Please check samples before making final selection and to get actual dimensions for layout.
Ordering Information
**Due to the special packing required for the large format tiles, orders for the 24x48 size must be for full box quantities only & we are not able to fill orders on the same day as placed.
Trim
The surface bullnose is made from field tile that is cut, ground and reglazed.
Usage and Installation Information
Etoile is suitable for both residential and light commercial installations that do not require an R rating. To attain the proper mix of graphics and color it is important to pull from multiple boxes during installation, rotate pieces, and note the placement of the different images to get the proper final blend.
Most Italian manufacturers recommend a maximum offset of 8” (20cm) on all large format tiles when setting a running bond. Please refer to ANSI requirements for setting large format tiles, ANSI A 108.2 Section 4.3.8. There are special setting requirements and materials for large format tiles. Please refer to the TCNA Handbook and guidelines by your mortar manufacturer for more information.
The Dynamic Coefficient of Friction is a general guide only. Testing may vary with different production runs and with different testing labs. As noted in the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) the coefficient of friction varies considerably due to facts not under the control of entities such as the manufacturers and distributors. These factors include, but are not limited to, contaminants, slope of terrain, drainage conditions, adjacent surfaces, etc. Suitability for any installation can only be determined by a site examination of all conditions that could affect the slip resistance of the tile being installed. Continual cleaning and maintenance must be performed once the tile has been installed.
