Description
Novara Anthracite Vein turns up the contrast on the vein-cut family. Long, lighter veins thread across a near-black charcoal field, giving the tile real architectural presence in any setting. Use it as a hero on a floor, behind a vanity, or as a fireplace surround where the goal is to anchor the room.
Despite the depth of color, this is the same robust through-body porcelain as the rest of the Novara collection — frost-proof, stain resistant, and dimensionally stable for indoor and covered exterior installations. The natural matte finish minimizes glare and reads more like honed stone than glossy ceramic, making it especially flattering under natural light.
Stocked in 24×48 plank format. Sold by the carton (15.50 SF, 2 pieces, ~70 lbs) and pallet (558.00 SF, 36 pieces, ~2520 lbs).
