Flat Wall Panel — Carrara Marble

Carrara Marble is the brightest finish in our flat wall panel range — a clean white ground crossed by soft grey veining and warm gold-caramel drifts, printed at full slab scale across a panel measuring 2800 × 1100 mm.

Why it reads as stone and not as tile

The difference is scale. Marble-effect tiles repeat their pattern every 300 or 600 mm, and the eye picks that up from across a room — you see a grid before you see a stone. Our flat panels carry the veining across 3.08 m² in a single unbroken sheet, so a standard 2.7 m chimney breast is two panels and one joint rather than forty tiles and a grout map. The white ground stays genuinely white rather than drifting grey, and the gold veins give it warmth that a pure black-and-white marble effect never has.

Flat panels versus our Venetian profiles

Our Concave, Flute, Square and Triangle Venetian panels are about shadow — a three-dimensional profile that changes as the light moves. Flat panels are about surface. Choose flat when the material itself is the feature and you want an uninterrupted plane: a marble wall, a stone wall, a linen wall. Choose a profile when you want architectural rhythm and texture. Many of our customers use both in the same project — a fluted feature wall, flat panelling everywhere else.

Where Carrara Marble works best

Bathrooms and wet rooms are the strongest use — the panel is 100% waterproof, and because it goes on in full sheets there is virtually no grout to discolour or re-seal. It works beautifully behind a freestanding bath, as a shower surround, as a kitchen splashback, and as a bright feature wall in a room that needs lifting. In commercial work it suits salons, treatment rooms, boutique hotel bathrooms and any fit-out where real marble is out of budget but the look is not negotiable.

Installation

Panels bond directly to a flat, dry substrate with high-grab construction adhesive (CT1 or similar). No battens, no substructure, no grouting. Cut with a fine-tooth blade or a sharp knife and straight edge. At 9–11 kg a panel this is a comfortable two-person lift, and one panel covers what would otherwise be an afternoon of tiling. Joints can be left as a fine shadow gap or closed with a colour-matched trim.
