Albatross White Marble tile comes with the look of a white marble tile that has grey veins. This popular marble look is defined with thick grey veining on a clean white background, and It resembles Italian Statuario marble. As much as this large format tile will bring a spacious feel to your interiors, regardless of your taste in interior decoration, It will undoubtedly add a luxurious feel to it.
Until a few years ago, most people installed 24×24 tiles and thought that using 24×24 was the best way for minimizing the grout lines. However, today it’s possible to cover the same area of an entire box of 24×24 tiles with only one 48×48 tile. When we think that what causes grout on the floors is the number of tiles, It’s not difficult to imagine how much less grout will occur with 48×48 tiles.
White Marble Tile Albatros comes from Kutahya Seramik of Turkey.
If you are on the market for floor or wall tiles, you probably heard that the Turkish tile industry is the 3rd largest in Europe. Their reputation is as good or even better than their Spanish or Italian counterparts. Besides, their tiles perfectly comply with Green Standards for the use of led and cadmium, especially for white glaze which is strictly controlled. Moreover, Kutahya is one of the largest and oldest factories in Turkey. Their reputation in Europe is excellent. Even though they are still new in the US market, they hold a great reputation among flooring professionals.
Albatros White marble tile comes with a very strong porcelain body. Whereas most 48×48 tiles are packed vertically to prevent breakage, White marble tile Albatros is packed horizontally, putting almost 3,000lbs weight on the bottom tiles. Whereas such packing is ideal for transportation, It requires a strength that goes above traditional porcelain tiles.

Where to Use This Tile, and How Tile Finishes Work
Standard matte, satin, and polished finishes usually have similar slip-resistance levels unless the tile is specifically rated as an In & Out or Grip finish.
For pool areas, a Grip finish is preferred. For outdoor areas that may get wet, an In & Out finish is usually the better choice. However, any wet surface can become slippery depending on the angle, speed, amount of water, and how the area is used, so caution is always required.
A DCOF rating above 0.42 is considered the beginning level of slip resistance. Tiles with more surface friction usually attract more dirt and dust, which is why they are generally preferred for outdoor areas.
