Savona
Italian marble in oversized porcelain.
Savona
Savona 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.
Savona channels the classic Italian marble tradition, elegant veining drawn over a luminous ground, and delivers it on large format porcelain. Panels of 120 x 60 and 120 x 120 cm carry non-repeating faces, so the veining composes naturally across floors and walls the way slab marble does in the grand interiors it references. Polished gives the full formal effect; Natural relaxes it for everyday rooms.
The porcelain translation is what makes the tradition livable. There is no etching from lemon or vinegar, no sealing appointments, and no anxiety about red wine, because absorption is near zero. Vancouver-area homeowners get the pedigree of the Italian marble look in kitchens, bathrooms and entries that see actual daily use, with grout joints few enough to keep the illusion intact.

Where Savona Works
Classic marble bathrooms
Polished Savona across vanity and shower walls recreates the traditional marble bathroom. Reserve the Natural finish for any floor areas where water regularly lands and grip matters.
Elegant entry foyers
A veined 120 x 120 cm floor makes the first impression rooms were once built around, and dense porcelain takes umbrellas, boots and grit without damage.
Kitchen slab backsplashes
Run one panel from counter to hood for continuous veining behind the range, a wipeable surface where grease never finds a grout joint to settle into.
Formal dining floors
The classic pattern suits rooms dressed for occasions, and chair legs, dropped cutlery and spilled wine leave no lasting mark on the dense fired surface of the panels.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
Savona suits schemes with a sense of occasion: panelled or shaker cabinetry, marble-topped furniture, polished nickel or brass, and warm white walls. It converses easily with other classics in the large format roster, Carrara-inspired fields or the quieter Patmos, when adjoining rooms need a gentler echo. Choose a grout matched to the ground colour, keep joints tight, and let symmetry in the layout reinforce the traditional character.
FAQ
Savona Questions
Which Italian marble does Savona resemble?
It draws on the broad white-marble tradition of elegant veining over a bright ground rather than copying one quarry. The honest answer is to view the panels: the veining density and tone sit in classic territory, and full pieces convey it far better than descriptions.
Is Polished porcelain as glossy as polished marble?
Very close. The Polished finish is worked to a reflective sheen that reads as dress marble in a finished room, and unlike marble it keeps that sheen without periodic re-polishing. If you prefer a honed-stone character, the Natural finish gives exactly that.
Where should I avoid using the Polished finish?
Wet floors. Polished surfaces lose grip under soapy water, so shower floors and bathroom floors should take the Natural finish. Polished is excellent on walls anywhere and on dry floors like dining rooms, halls and bedrooms where its light-play earns its keep.
Can I see Savona installed rather than boxed?
Our Richmond showroom on Bridgeport Road keeps large display panels set out so you can judge the veining at real scale. Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Friday 9 to 5:30 and Saturday 10 to 5, and the team can pull samples to take home.
