What is Laurent Black porcelain?

Laurent Black is a high-performance vitrified porcelain tile crafted with an intense black and deep grey base intersected by crisp white, copper, and golden vein networks. Constructed with a dense porcelain body and very low water absorption, it combines dramatic stone aesthetics with superior structural strength engineered for demanding commercial and residential environments.

Sizes available

Precision-calibrated size options and full container project shipments are available upon request.

Polished finish

Laurent Black is manufactured with an ultra-reflective polished finish across every size format. The high-gloss glaze intensifies the deep black background while sharpening the contrast of the intricate veining, creating an expansive, light-reflecting surface across large floor layouts.

Technical specifications

Why choose Laurent Black porcelain

Natural black marble slabs are notoriously susceptible to acid etching, surface scratching, and water staining under daily usage. Laurent Black porcelain captures the dramatic luxury of dark marble on an impermeable vitreous tile body that resists surface wear, moisture, and chemical staining. In the popular 600x1200mm format, minimal grout joints maintain the fluid, unbroken movement of the contrasting veining across expansive floor plates and vertical feature walls.

For project layouts requiring a high-contrast white marble pairing in adjoining reception zones or feature zones, Laurent Black coordinates seamlessly with Calacata Oro. Alternatively, for designs incorporating an exotic green accent in connected spaces, consider pairing it with Emarald White from the same stone range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What visual impact does Laurent Black provide for commercial projects?

Laurent Black offers a rich charcoal-black ground detailed with dramatic white and golden veining. It delivers a bold, prestigious stone aesthetic ideal for hotel lobbies, corporate headquarters, and high-end feature walls.

Is Laurent Black suitable for commercial washroom walls and floors?

Yes. Laurent Black is manufactured with a vitrified porcelain body featuring extremely low water absorption (under 0.5%). It is completely moisture-resistant, making it suitable for high-humidity washroom walls, vanity surrounds, and dry floor areas.

Unlike natural dark marble, which requires continuous sealing and is easily etched by acidic substances, Laurent Black porcelain is non-porous and highly resistant to stains and chemical abrasion. Standard maintenance with neutral detergents preserves its glossy surface effortlessly.

Laurent Black is produced in four standard sizes: 300x600mm, 600x600mm, 800x800mm, and 600x1200mm, all engineered at a standard 9mm thickness. Custom specifications can be accommodated for full container orders.
