Large Format Onyx – Unique Beauty

LARGE FORMAT ONYX TILE – A HIDDEN GEM

Little talked of and possibly interior design’s best kept secret, as a semi-precious stone, our large format onyx tiles will lend a gem like quality to your décor. As with some marble finishes, you need to treat them with care to protect them from scratching and staining, but you will be rewarded with an unparalleled opulence that will elevate your interior designs to a whole other level.

Onyx has a cloudy composition with a tendency towards some transparency. It will catch light and reflect it in pleasing ways, and it will certainly add a special touch to whichever space you use it.

Suitable for use in backsplashes, walls, floors and countertops, our large format onyx tiles can add a touch of well-placed luxury. Let it make an impact on your customers by using it as a countertop in a bar or reception area. In the home, make a feature wall behind a fireplace.

At the smaller end of our large format range, our 6” x 6” tumbled onyx with its rounded corners and warm peach and beige tones makes for a gorgeous, cobbled style entryway, a soft and luxurious welcome into your home.

SPECTACULAR LARGE FORMAT ONYX COLORWAYS

If you are considering using Onyx large format tiles in your home, you are most likely drawn to their unique, pretty colorways. From snowy landscapes of white, delicate neutrals with hues of peach and gray, to deep jade greens, onyx offers beautiful options to embellish your home.

A bathroom backsplash of cloudy white onyx will create a mellow, easy to relax in space, with fine beige swirls that will tie in elegantly with gold fittings and beige accessories. Follow an accent color through the room in mats and towels, plant pots and toiletry dispensers for a visually pleasing ambiance.

The honey and beige hues of some of our other polished large format onyx tiles make a stunning polished floor option for living and dining areas. Our 12”x 24” options can be arranged in a stunning herringbone pattern, or our 18”x 18” square tiles can be arranged in a linear pattern for a more contemporary look. The peach and beige hues bring a feeling of warmth and comfort to these spaces, creating a homely look from a natural stone.

The same principle applies for a kitchen backsplash. The subtle undertones of onyx work well with so many colors of cabinetry and makes a stunning natural look when paired with light-hued woods.

Lighter tones and neutrals are often a customer’s first choice, as they offer shades that move with the times, providing flexibility for future remodels when fashion changes. But it is hard to neglect the bolder options available. Our delectable green tile makes a stunning countertop to inject some high style into a kitchen redesign or an oceanic feel into a bathroom.

IS LARGE FORMAT ONYX GOOD FOR FLOORING?

WHAT IS ONYX TILE MADE OF? 

Considered as a gemstone, onyx is composed of alternating bands of chalcedony, which is a fine-grained variety of the silica mineral quartz. It is found in white and beige tones, as well as in deeper shades of red and green.
