Beige Porcelain Tile 1200x600 mm, Matt Anti-Slip R10

What it is

A large-format porcelain tile measuring 1200 × 600 mm, in a light beige with a stone pattern and fine pale veining. The supplier’s showroom label, photographed for our product file, reads “600x1200mm” and “Granular (R10)”: the face is matt and textured, and R10 is its slip-resistance class. A single tile covers 0.72 m², by our calculation of 1.2 m × 0.6 m.

The R classes come from the German ramp method DIN 51130, which runs from R9 to R13; R10 sits one step above the lowest grade. Brand, collection name and the full model code on the label cannot be read in the photo, so they are not given here.

Thickness, edge, box contents and weight are still missing from our file. Similar products list 9.5 mm or 10.5 mm thickness, rectified edges and 2 tiles (1.44 m²) per box, and the 10.5 mm one weighs 17.13 kg per tile; these figures are not confirmed for this item. Water absorption and whether the tile is glazed or full-body are not known either. For sizes, finishes and where each is used, see porcelain tiles and floor tiles.

How it is used

Our file has no fixing guide from the maker of this tile, so this section sticks to the label and to arithmetic. With 0.72 m² per tile, a 20 m² floor takes 28 whole tiles before cuts and breakage (our calculation: 20 ÷ 0.72 = 27.8, rounded up). Your fundi, the local tiler, adds an allowance for cutting on top of that.

Where the tile may go is not stated by its maker. A similar product of the same size, matt finish and R10 class is listed for floors and walls and for laying over underfloor heating; none of that is confirmed for this item. Whether this tile may be laid outdoors is not stated anywhere in our file, and for wet rooms the bathroom tiles page compares finishes.
