Tubac
Stunning Polished Marble In Porcelain.
Tubac
Tubac brings the polished perfection of classic marble into a porcelain tile format. With its clean white base and delicate grey veining, this collection offers timeless sophistication for any space.
Tubac keeps marble simple: a clean white base, delicate light grey veining, and none of the heavy drama of bolder Statuario patterns. Six non-repeating face styles give the surface gentle movement, and the polished finish in particular has the soft sheen of freshly fabricated stone. It is the kind of tile that supports a design rather than dominating it.
Being porcelain, Tubac takes daily life in stride. The 1cm tile resists scratching and staining, needs no sealing, and performs in wet rooms where natural marble would etch and darken. Around Metro Vancouver it is a steady choice for bathrooms, kitchens and open living floors where homeowners want brightness that lasts longer than a paint trend.

Where Tubac Works
Bright family bathrooms
Soft grey veining hides water spots and toothpaste flecks between cleanings. Matte tile keeps floors secure underfoot, and the light palette bounces daylight around smaller bathrooms.
Open plan floors
The 24x48 format with subtle veining reads calm across big areas, so kitchens, dining and living zones flow together without the floor competing for attention.
Kitchen backsplashes
Polished Tubac behind a range wipes clean easily and adds quiet marble character without locking the kitchen into a bold pattern you may tire of later.
Hallways and landings
Durable porcelain handles the concentrated traffic of corridors, and the pale surface brightens interior hallways that get little natural light. The 24x24 size suits narrower runs.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
Because Tubac stays quiet, nearly anything pairs with it: chrome or black fixtures, painted or wood cabinetry, warm or cool palettes. That neutrality makes it a dependable base layer, with colour arriving through vanities, textiles and art. A pale grey grout blends joints into the field. If you find it too subtle once you see it, Statuario Imperiale offers the same white-and-grey family with far more vein movement.
FAQ
Tubac Questions
Is Tubac too plain for a feature wall?
It depends on the effect you want. Tubac is deliberately soft, so a feature wall reads elegant rather than dramatic. If the wall is meant to be the room's focal point, a bolder pattern may serve better; if it is a backdrop for a tub or vanity, Tubac is ideal.
What is the difference between the polished and matte versions?
Same printed faces, different surface. Polished is reflective and slightly deepens the veining; matte is a low-sheen surface with more grip that suits floors and contemporary schemes. Many projects combine them, matte underfoot and polished on walls, without any visible colour mismatch.
How many face styles does Tubac have, and does it matter?
Six non-repeating faces. It matters on bigger surfaces: the more distinct faces a collection prints, the less likely two identical tiles land next to each other. Six is plenty for typical bathrooms and kitchens, and your installer can shuffle boxes to spread the variation.
Can I get a sample to check against my cabinets?
Yes, samples are available from the Richmond showroom on Bridgeport Road, and it is worth borrowing both finishes. Polished and matte read differently under home lighting, and checking them against your cabinet doors and countertop avoids surprises after installation.
