Why Do We Stock Marble Tiles in 30.5x61 cm?
Several of our marble collections are stocked in the classic 30.5x61 cm format. This is a deliberate choice. While 60x60 cm tiles have become increasingly common, we believe they often create a very modern and uniform appearance that can resemble the style frequently found in mass-market and discount tile ranges.
The 30.5x61 cm format, on the other hand, is deeply rooted in traditional natural stone design. It has been used for decades in period properties, townhouses, villas, and high-end residential projects, where proportions and authenticity are just as important as the material itself.
One of the greatest advantages of this format is its versatility. The size allows for a variety of installation patterns, including running bond, half-bond, third-bond, brick patterns, and other classic layouts. This flexibility makes it possible to tailor the floor to the architectural style, age, and character of the property.
In older buildings, the format often feels more historically appropriate and harmonious with the original architecture. In contemporary homes, it introduces a sense of craftsmanship, elegance, and timeless character that larger square formats can sometimes lack.
Natural stone has a rich heritage, and we believe the tile format should respect that tradition. By stocking marble tiles in 30.5x61 cm, we offer a size that highlights the beauty of the stone, provides greater design freedom, and creates interiors with a more refined and enduring aesthetic.
Rather than following short-lived trends, we focus on formats that have stood the test of time and continue to complement both classic and contemporary spaces.
