Key Features

• Deep “negro” (black) tone with a textured slate-like appearance, providing a striking contrast or moody backdrop in design schemes. 
• Matte finish helps reduce glare and gives more grip underfoot compared to glossy finishes.
• Rectified edge (R) allows joints to be kept tight, resulting in a cleaner, more refined look.
• Porcelain body offers durability, stain and scratch resistance, and likely low maintenance.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean using mild, pH-neutral cleaners; avoid harsh acidic or alkaline cleaners that may damage the matte surface or dull its finish.
• Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit or abrasive dirt that could scratch the surface.
• Wipe up spills promptly, especially dark liquids, as they may stain more visibly on black surfaces if left.
• Use grout color that either matches or contrasts (depending on aesthetic) and seal grout lines if recommended.
• Ensure substrate is flat, level, and properly prepared — large 12×24 planks with rectified edges will show any unevenness.
