Manaos
Green marble in large format porcelain.
Manaos
Manaos is part of our premium large format tile collection, offering oversized porcelain tiles and slabs that minimize grout lines and create seamless, contemporary surfaces. Available in our Richmond showroom.
Green marble has furnished palaces and jazz-age lobbies, and Manaos brings that lineage to large format porcelain. Rich green tones move through veined, non-repeating faces on 120 x 60 and 120 x 120 cm panels, deep and saturated in the Polished finish, softer and more organic in Natural. It is a colour statement first, delivered at a scale where the veining can genuinely sweep.
Real green marble is famously delicate; this porcelain version simply is not. It shrugs off water, acids and traffic with near-zero absorption and no sealing, so the colour can go into showers, kitchens and entries without a maintenance contract. For Vancouver-area designers reaching past grey and beige, Manaos offers saturated colour with everyday porcelain practicality.

Applications
Where Manaos Works
Jewel-box powder rooms
Wrapping a small bath in green veining creates the richest room in the house, and porcelain handles the splashes and soap a busy powder room sees.
Bar and lounge walls
Green marble looks are a natural fit for home bars and lounge niches, where Polished panels glow under warm, low lighting placed behind shelving and bottle displays.
Statement bathroom floors
In the Natural finish the colour anchors a bathroom floor with proper wet-area grip, pairing beautifully with white fixtures, pale counters and brass trim details.
Boutique retail features
Commercial spaces use saturated green panels on counter faces and feature walls to signal considered design, with the durable 12 mm floor panels available for public traffic areas.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
Green marble looks love metal and white: unlacquered brass or gold hardware, white basins and warm white walls form the classic combination. Dark walnut and black frames push it moodier. Keep other tiled surfaces neutral, a cream field like Cream Chamber or a quiet grey like Silver LF nearby lets Manaos own the colour story. Deep green or charcoal grout keeps joints invisible; never use bright white grout unless you want a grid.
FAQ
Manaos Questions
How dark is the green?
Manaos sits in the rich, saturated range associated with classic green marble, and the finish moves the read: Polished deepens and glosses the colour, Natural lifts and softens it. Lighting matters more here than with neutrals, so evaluate panels under both daylight and evening light.
Is green tile a passing trend?
Green marble specifically has over a century of continuous use in high-end interiors, which is different from a fashion colour. Committing to it on one focused surface, a powder room, a bar wall, a vanity backdrop, gives you the richness with an easy future exit.
What fixtures work with green marble looks?
Brass and gold are the traditional partners and remain the safest, with polished nickel a cooler alternative. Matte black suits modern schemes. Pure chrome can read thin against this much colour. White ceramics, marble-look counters and warm bulbs complete the picture comfortably.
Can Manaos handle a steam shower?
Yes. Porcelain's near-zero absorption is unaffected by steam, heat and daily spray, and the colour is fired in, so it will not fade or water-spot permanently. Use Natural finish on the shower floor for grip and squeegee glass, not the tile, after use.
