Description
Dune Granadella Marino Subway Tile in Gloss Finish shares the same 9mm porcelain construction and full UNE-EN test certification as the Cielo colourway in the same Granadella range, giving it genuine documented performance figures rather than the size-and-finish-only listing common to decorative subway tile. Water absorption of ≤0.5% and breaking strength over 35 N/mm² place it in genuinely dense, low-porosity porcelain territory.
Being part of a matched range with multiple colourways gives real design flexibility on a job — Marino and Cielo can be mixed or matched across different areas of the same project while both carrying identical technical performance, rather than trading off colour choice against tested quality. Its swimming-pool chemical resistance rating and top stain-resistance score give it real credentials for demanding wet-area or commercial applications.
Its certified performance figures — water absorption of 0.5% or less, breaking strength above 35 N/mm², and passing both frost and crazing resistance testing to UNE-EN ISO standards — mean Granadella Marino is built for genuine durability rather than just a decorative gloss finish, which matters for a subway tile intended for real wear in a kitchen, bathroom or commercial wet area. Its Class 0 slip rating under UNE-EN 16165 should be checked against the specific application’s requirements before it’s used anywhere underfoot, since a Class 0 rating suits lower-risk areas rather than heavily wet floor zones.

Where to Use
- Walls and splashbacks in kitchens and bathrooms
- Pool-adjacent wet areas, given its chemical resistance rating
- Commercial and residential applications requiring certified porcelain performance
How to Apply
- Plan the layout — choose a bond pattern before starting.
- Calculate quantity — order to the nearest square metre, allowing extra for cuts.
- Fix with a suitable tile adhesive — select an adhesive rated for the substrate and wet-area exposure.
- Grout — choose a contrasting or matching grout colour to suit the desired finished look.
Important Notes
- Confirm the Class 0 slip rating meets the specific application’s requirement before use on a floor.
- Order to the nearest whole square metre, allowing extra for cuts and pattern layout.
