Romano Product Story

Specify Romano in Polished for interior walls and floors in living areas and kitchens; and Natural (R9) for interior walls and floors in living areas, kitchens and bathrooms. Slabs up to 1200 × 2780mm 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 thicknesses from 6mm to 9mm, and the collection can contribute to BREEAM and LEED assessments. Romano has slight tonal variation (V2): consistent overall, with subtle depth up close.

Specifying Romano

What is the largest format of Romano?

The largest format is 1200 × 2780mm (3.34 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 Romano should I specify for each area?

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

  • Polished (6/9mm) — interior floors in living areas, hallways and kitchens; interior walls; large-format surfaces: seamless walls, seamless floors, worktops and islands, vanity tops and basins, tables and furniture, fireplace and bath surrounds.
  • Natural (R9, 6/9mm) — interior floors in living areas, hallways, kitchens and bathrooms (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 and Natural) — lightweight wall and floor surfaces, and cladding of worktops and furniture.
  • 9mm (Polished and Natural) — interior floors and walls.

Is Romano 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?

Romano is rated V2 (slight variation). Expect a consistent appearance from piece to piece. For large or phased projects, order the full quantity from a single production batch.

What does Romano weigh?

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

  • 6mm — 15 kg/m²
  • 9mm — 20.1–21.4 kg/m²

Are there matching special pieces or decors?

Yes: special pieces (Mosaic (Chip Size 24x24mm), Mosaic (Chip Size 48x48mm) and Skirting Tile). Sizes and finishes are listed in the Sizes & Finishes table.

What sustainability credentials does Romano have?

Romano 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.

Shade Variation

Via Marmi Romano is rated V2 (slight variation).

Shade variation ratings V1 to V4 compared

Shade variation describes how much colour, tone and pattern differ from tile to tile in the same batch, from V1 (uniform appearance) to V4 (substantial variation). Lay out tiles from several boxes before fixing to see the full range.

Slip Resistance

Via Marmi Romano has been slip tested using the DIN 51130 ramp test. Results by finish:

FinishR ratingSlip resistance
Natural R9 Minimal

R ratings run from R9 (minimal slip resistance) to R13 (very high). They classify how a surface performs in the ramp test and are not the angle a floor can safely be laid at. Ramp test (DIN 51130) and pendulum test (BS 7976-2) certificates are available on request.
