Stonelab
Laboratory-refined stone in porcelain.
Stonelab
Stonelab delivers a refined, contemporary stone aesthetic in a durable porcelain format. The clean lines and neutral tones create versatile surfaces that complement any design scheme.
Stonelab strips the stone look back to its essentials: soft mineral movement, clean neutral colour, matte finish, no drama. It comes in Beige, White and Grey in 24x24 and 24x48 sizes, and the non-repeating faces keep large areas natural. Think of it as the dependable neutral in the European porcelain lineup, the tile that fits when the design is still evolving.
The 8mm glazed porcelain construction is rated for indoor floors and walls, absorbs essentially no water and never needs sealing. It is an easy recommendation for rental units, family homes and builder projects across Metro Vancouver, anywhere a durable, unfussy surface needs to satisfy many tastes over many years of use.

Applications
Where Stonelab Works
Whole-home flooring
Running one neutral tile through kitchen, hall and bathrooms simplifies a renovation, and Stonelab's three tones offer a version of that plan for warm, bright or cool palettes.
Practical bathrooms
Matte finish on the floor, the same tile up the wet walls, done. The restrained pattern keeps small bathrooms calm and makes future decor changes painless.
Rental and multi-family units
Durable, neutral and easy to source across project phases, Stonelab suits landlords and developers who need surfaces that wear well and photograph cleanly for future listings.
Kitchen floors
The 24x48 format moves through a kitchen with few grout lines, and glazed porcelain handles dropped utensils, splashed oil and daily washing without any special treatment.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
A neutral this quiet takes its personality from grout, layout and neighbours. Stack-bond the 24x48 for a modern look or offset it for a classic one; match the grout for calm or deepen it slightly for definition. Beige works under oak and cream kitchens, Grey under black and white schemes. If the room needs one expressive moment, a veined feature tile such as Calacatta CX supplies it against a Stonelab field.
FAQ
Stonelab Questions
Is Stonelab too plain?
It depends what the room needs. In spaces with strong cabinetry, art or views, a quiet floor is the right call, and plain is precisely the job description. If the tile itself has to provide the interest, a veined or textured collection would serve better. We can show you both approaches.
Which colour is safest for resale?
Neutral mid-tones travel well across buyer tastes, and all three Stonelab colours qualify. Beige suits homes with warm wood, Grey suits modern builds, and White suits small bright spaces. Choose against your fixed elements, cabinets and counters, rather than guessing at a future buyer.
Can it go on shower walls?
Yes, it is a floor and wall rated porcelain and the matte finish is well suited to wet areas. Many projects run the same tile on the bathroom floor and shower walls. For the shower pan itself, pair it with a small-format mosaic for slope and grip.
How do I get samples?
Drop by the Richmond showroom at #3-11240 Bridgeport Rd, no appointment needed, and take sample pieces home. Neutrals shift with lighting more than people expect, so check your shortlist in the actual room, morning and evening, before finalizing an order.
