Specifying Calacatta Viola Bookmatched

What is the largest format of Calacatta Viola Bookmatched?

The largest format is 1620 × 3200mm (5.18 m² per piece), available in Polished and Natural. As a full slab it allows seamless wall and floor surfaces with minimal joints, and can be fabricated into worktops, vanity tops and basins, and furniture.

Which finish of Calacatta Viola Bookmatched should I specify for each area?

Based on each finish's slip rating, thickness and format:

  • Polished (12mm) — interior walls; large-format surfaces: seamless walls, bookmatched feature walls, worktops and islands, vanity tops and basins, tables and furniture, fireplace and bath surrounds.
  • Natural (12mm) — interior walls; large-format surfaces: seamless walls, bookmatched feature walls, worktops and islands, vanity tops and basins, tables and furniture, fireplace and bath surrounds.

What thicknesses are available, and what are they for?

  • 12mm (Polished and Natural) — solid worktops, vanity tops and basins, and furniture tops.

Is Calacatta Viola Bookmatched rectified?

No. The edges are not rectified. Important Notice: 12 mm thickness bookmatched slabs are not rectified. This means that it will always be necessary to trim all four sides of both slabs to ensure that the graphic matches exactly with its mirrored pair. Trimming 12 mm slabs onsite is extremely difficult, we therefore strongly recommend that you include our fixed cost bookmatch trimming service when specifying 12 mm bookmatched slabs.

What does Calacatta Viola Bookmatched weigh?

Check substrate and fixing requirements for wall cladding, upper floors and furniture. By thickness:

  • 12mm — 29.4 kg/m²

How are the bookmatched slabs supplied?

In matching pairs (Block A and Block B) whose veining mirrors across the joint, for continuous feature walls and surfaces. The layout options above show how the blocks combine.

What sustainability credentials does Calacatta Viola Bookmatched have?

Calacatta Viola Bookmatched can contribute to BREEAM and LEED building assessments and meets EU Ecolabel, GREENGUARD and NSF requirements. Supporting documentation is available on request for project submissions.

Can I order samples?

Yes. Samples are available in Polished and Natural. Use the Order free sample button to choose the finishes you need.

The LEED® program encourages the adoption of sustainable green building and development practices and promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognising performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

All porcelain tiles within our collection comply with LEED® certification and are suitable for the LEED® approval process.
