Campogalliano Marmi | Italian Glazed Porcelain Tile
Marmi Carrara offers the timelessly beautiful look of Carrara marble. Extracted from quarries in Northern Italy since Ancient Roman times, Carrara has been used in notable buildings, memorials and artwork all over the world for centuries. Characterized by a soft white with wispy grey veining, it is a truly classic look whether used on its own or combined with other items (e.g. Marquinia) in checkerboards or other patterns.

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.
Trim
Made from field tile that is cut, ground and reglazed.
Note about the 8" Octagon
The Octagon’s square foot calculation is the nominal square footage that just the Octagon will cover by itself. To complete the look and to cover the full area, customers also need to buy the 2x2 separately, and with the 2x2 added the coverage area will be increased by a small amount. The 2x2 is mounted on a sheet and there are 36 pieces per sheet. For every square foot of Octagon, customers will need around 3 pieces of 2x2 (1 piece of 2x2 for each piece of Octagon). Please also note that different 2x2 from many series should work, so people can really have fun choosing the combo they want to use; just please be aware that the thicknesses of different series can vary slightly and need to be considered. The minimum recommended grout joint is 3/32”.
Usage & Handling
Marmi is suitable for residential use.
Installation
Most tile manufacturers recommend a maximum offset of 8” (20 cm) 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. Using a leveling system can improve the installation of this product.
If using multiple sizes or colors together from a different series (such as Marquinia (GIMA)), please be aware that the thicknesses of different series can vary slightly and need to be considered. A leveling system is recommended along with a minimum 3/32” grout joint.
We strongly advise against using black grout with white colored tile. It can leave a film that is difficult to completely remove. It is also problematic because the grout will highlight every tiny irregularity in the tile’s surface and it will emphasize any flaws in the installation. In general, we do not recommend using highly contrasting grouts. For customers who disregard this advice at their own risk, using a grout release during installation may help and it may be possible to remove a grout haze with a product like Fila Deterdek.
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.
