About Rondine Ardesie Dark Honed Porcelain Tile

Material Education

Rondine Ardesie Dark is a large-format porcelain tile engineered to replicate the refined texture and deep tonal depth of natural slate. Its rich charcoal and graphite palette is punctuated by subtle earthy undertones and a finely grained surface that evokes the stratified beauty of genuine stone. The honed finish delivers a smooth, matte surface that captures light softly without gloss, giving the tile a grounded, architectural presence.

As with all stone-look porcelain, slight tonal shifts from tile to tile are intentional — they are calibrated to mirror the organic variation found in real slate and ensure a naturalistic, non-repetitive installation.

About this tile: This 24×48 large-format field tile offers dramatic coverage with fewer grout lines, creating a sleek, continuous surface ideal for expansive floors and walls. The honed matte finish adds tactile depth while remaining highly practical in both residential and light commercial settings.

Design & Inspiration

The dark charcoal and graphite tones of Ardesie Dark pair beautifully with brushed brass or matte black fixtures, white oak cabinetry, and crisp white or warm greige walls, anchoring spaces with a sophisticated industrial or contemporary edge. It suits a wide range of design styles including modern minimalist, industrial chic, transitional, and urban loft aesthetics.

The 24×48 format laid in a vertical stack or offset pattern visually heightens walls and elongates floors, making it especially effective in open-plan living areas, walk-in showers, and statement feature walls. The matte honed surface adds a quiet luxury that feels both bold and restrained.

Popular design combinations: Ardesie Dark floor tile paired with a polished white Carrara marble vanity top and brushed gold fixtures for a striking contemporary bathroom. Explore the full Porcelain Tile Collection for coordinating sizes, and browse more porcelain tile for complementary looks.

Premium Natural Stone

Secure Packaging

Rondine Ardesie Dark is a premium honed porcelain tile inspired by the deep, stratified textures of natural slate, rendered in rich charcoal and graphite tones with subtle earthy undertones. Crafted by Italian manufacturer Rondine, this tile brings European design sensibility and technical precision to residential and commercial spaces alike.

The honed matte finish provides a smooth, non-reflective surface with excellent slip resistance and a refined tactile quality that works equally well on floors and walls. At 24×48 inches, the large format minimizes grout joints, producing a clean, expansive aesthetic that makes even smaller rooms feel more open and cohesive.

Ardesie Dark is ideally suited for master bathroom floors and walls, open-plan living room floors, commercial lobbies, and exterior-facing accent walls in covered applications. As a clearance or special-order item, we recommend ordering a sample before committing to full quantities, and purchasing 10–15% overage to account for cuts and future repairs.

Free Shipping: This product ships at standard freight rates calculated at checkout based on your location and order size.

Processing & Delivery: Orders are processed within 2–3 business days. Large orders ship via LTL freight — curbside delivery only. An adult must be present to sign for delivery. Estimated transit: 2–10 business days after shipment.

30-Day Returns: Uninstalled tile may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Inspect all tile carefully before installation — installed tile cannot be returned or exchanged. Samples are final sale.

Exclusions: Free shipping does not apply to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses. Additional charges may apply for remote delivery areas.

Sealing: Porcelain is virtually non-porous and does not require sealing under most conditions. If a grout sealer is desired for the joints, apply a penetrating grout sealer annually in wet areas such as showers and steam rooms.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone and tile cleaner or a mild dish soap solution. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that can dull the honed matte surface over time. For textured or micro-relief surfaces, a soft-bristle brush helps remove grout haze and debris from recessed areas during initial cleanup.

Installation: Use a large-format tile trowel (1/2″ × 1/2″ square-notch) and back-butter each tile to ensure full contact and prevent lippage on this 24×48 format. A rectified edge allows for tight 1/16″ to 1/8″ grout joints; use unsanded grout for joints under 1/8″. Use a grey or charcoal-toned thinset to complement the dark color palette and avoid show-through at the joints.

Important: Inspect all tile before installation. Variations in color, veining, and texture between pieces are natural characteristics of genuine stone — not defects. Order 10% overage for cuts, waste, and future repairs. Tile & Mosaic Depot specialists are available M–F 8:30AM–5PM PST at 855-797-8453.

Product & Installation Guidance

Natural stone is a product of the earth — every piece is one of a kind. A little planning ensures your finished installation looks its best and lasts for decades.

Natural Variation
Color, veining, texture, shade, movement, finish, and sizing vary from piece to piece. Product photos and samples are a general reference and may not match the exact material you receive. These variations are inherent characteristics of natural stone — they are part of its beauty, not defects.

Before You Install

Order roughly 10% extra to allow for cuts, waste, and future repairs.
Blend tiles from multiple boxes as you work to achieve the most natural, balanced appearance.
Dry-lay and inspect the full layout before setting a single tile.
Installation constitutes full acceptance of the product, so review everything carefully first.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer before and after installation, and re-sealed periodically in wet or high-traffic areas. Clean only with a pH-neutral stone cleaner; avoid acidic products, bleach, vinegar, and ammonia, which can permanently etch the surface. Outdoor installations may weather or change tone over time with exposure.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot is not responsible for improper installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, product misuse, or damage from improper handling, sealing, maintenance, or harsh chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements can be accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65: Some natural stone products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Order a Sample First

Seeing real stone in your own space — under your own light, beside your own finishes — is the best way to buy with confidence. We make it easy and affordable.

How It Works
Samples are just $7.99 each with free shipping, and they ship in 1–3 business days. Sizes vary by material and availability, typically ranging from 3"×3" up to 8"×8". Exact dimensions aren't guaranteed, but every sample is cut from the same material you'll receive in a full order.

What a Sample Shows
Samples help you evaluate the general color, texture, finish, and overall character of a product before committing to a full order. Because natural stone varies from piece to piece, your sample is representative — it may not capture the complete range of variation across an entire lot. For current lot photos, just ask our team.

Good to Know

Samples are final sale — non-returnable and non-refundable.
Ordering a sample before a full purchase is always recommended, especially for natural stone.
