Smoke Opal Product Story

Smoke Opal comes in Polished for interior walls and floors in living areas, kitchens and high-traffic or commercial spaces. Slabs up to 1500 × 3000mm extend it to seamless wall cladding, seamless floors, worktops and islands, vanity tops and basins, tables and furniture, and fireplace and bath surrounds. Every size is rectified for narrow, consistent joints, in a 6mm thickness. Smoke Opal has moderate tonal variation (V3) that reads as natural movement rather than a printed surface.

Smoke Opal Graphical Faces

Smoke Opal is supplied with a number of distinct graphical faces. Below are examples of 4 of these graphical faces when supplied in 3000 x 1500 mm formats. Click on any swatch for a closer look.

Specifying Smoke Opal

What is the largest format of Smoke Opal?

The largest format is 1500 × 3000mm (4.5 m² per piece), available in Polished. 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 Smoke Opal should I specify for each area?

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

  • Polished (6mm) — interior floors in living areas, hallways, kitchens and high-traffic or commercial spaces (not showers or wet areas); interior walls; large-format surfaces: seamless walls, seamless floors, worktops and islands, vanity tops and basins, tables and furniture, fireplace and bath surrounds.

What thicknesses are available, and what are they for?

  • 6mm (Polished) — lightweight wall and floor surfaces, and cladding of worktops and furniture.
  • 6mm (Polished) — lightweight wall and floor installations.

Is Smoke Opal rectified?

Yes. Every size is rectified: the edges are cut to precise dimensions after firing, allowing narrow, consistent joints. Confirm minimum joint widths for the format with the installer and adhesive manufacturer.

How much shade variation should I allow for?

Smoke Opal is rated V3 (moderate variation). Variation between pieces is part of the design, so dry-lay from several boxes and agree the blend with the client before fixing. For large or phased projects, order the full quantity from a single production batch.

What does Smoke Opal weigh?

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

  • 6mm — 14–14.2 kg/m²

What sustainability credentials does Smoke Opal have?

Smoke Opal meets GREENGUARD and NSF requirements. Supporting documentation is available on request for project submissions.

Can I order samples?

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