Tile surfaces are no longer limited to choosing between a completely glossy or completely matt appearance. Combining both effects in 80×160 cm carving tiles creates a unique combination of texture, contrast, and depth. This finish is perfect for interior designers, architects, and project developers, as well as international buyers of tiles, to introduce individuality into large formats.
SakarMarbo offers carving tiles in its vitrified tile production, which are available in sizes such as 800×1600 mm. Carving involves a mix of matt and glossy finishes, with the cut line structure being glossy but the rest of the surface being matt.
An 80×160 cm carving tile, or an 800×1600 mm carving tile, is a large-format vitrified tile with a carving finish. In this context, the term “vitrified” refers to the body of the tile and the material in the body, and “carving” refers to a unique surface effect.
The carving effect is emphasized in areas where the design features lines or vein patterns. These areas may have a shiny appearance on a matt background, providing a contrast of color when light strikes the surface.
This is because it is a unique process that differs from a normal matt or glossy tile. Carving offers a 2-in-1 effect in a single tile, as opposed to choosing 1 surface appearance for the entire tile.
The most unique aspect of carving tiles is the dual surface characteristics.
The background is mostly satin-matt, providing a subdued and understated foundation for the tile. The line or vein details in the carved design may be shiny. Light is reflected from these shiny areas, creating a contrast with the matt surface.
This contrast adds visual depth to the tile, and it does not require its own matt and glossy tiles in the same design. It can be especially useful in designs inspired by marble, since the lines cut into the planks mimic the veins of marble.
This finish is a great option for buyers looking for an alternative to traditional large-format glossy and matt collections of 80×160 carving tiles from a carving tile manufacturer in India. 800×1600 mm vitrified tiles are preferred in all parts of the world.
Carving tiles are part of the vitrified tile group, which are tiles that are fired at a high temperature to produce a dense, durable surface. The properties of this vitrified construction include low water absorption, good flexural strength, abrasion resistance, breaking strength, stain resistance, and chemical resistance.
This vitrified base is significant for carving tiles as it is essential for the strength and durability necessary for the application of tiles for residential and commercial purposes, and the carved surface adds the desired decorating effect. This technical performance may differ from product to product depending on the specific product; please consult the product specification before selection. The properties make vitrified tiles ideal for many home and office uses. The performance of an individual carving product, however, must be checked with the product-specific technical specification.
Every SakarMarbo tile design comes in 5 randoms. This means the same design theme is printed in 5 different ways. The colour and style stay the same, but the veins and patterns change on each face. When these tiles are laid together, the floor or wall does not show a repeat. It looks natural, just like real marble. You can see this in our design 90171 below, where each tile carries the same look with a different pattern.
If you are looking for 80×160 carving tile exporters, going only with an exporter focused on appearance is just one aspect of what you need to consider when you are making your purchase. It is advisable for the buyer to verify the tile body, thickness, finish, calibre, shade, technical specifications and approved sample prior to ordering in bulk.
For this, large-format packaging and container planning are also equally important. SakarMarbo offers wooden pallets with proper packaging inside to maintain that exact effect of carving, till it reaches the carving tiles importer.
SakarMarbo (a trusted large-format tile manufacturer in India) has over 25 years of experience in tile manufacturing and exports and provides a range of vitrified, porcelain and ceramic tile solutions in a variety of formats and designs. We also offer large format vitrified tiles.
