Doc Ivory Porcelain

Exquisite French stone look porcelain with an authentic aged limestone tumble edge, Doc Ivory is faithfully reproduced and reimagined as a beautiful tile. Doc Ivory is cool as ice, pale silver greys are beautifully highlighted by darker blue-grey 'fossil' and 'quartz' detail as seen in the real limestone. As to where Doc Ivory takes its inspiration, we need only look to classical pale bone and ivory-coloured French limestone. This gorgeous ceramic facsimile bears all the intrinsic characteristics of the genuine article, including mineral veining, quartz deposits and ingrained fossils. Also replicating the tumbled edge of the original stone, which is a charming traditional aged look for floors, as with all our porcelain products Doc Ivory Porcelain offers an easy-clean and hardwearing finish. Made all the more attractive by being competitively priced with swift UK delivery. A dedicated 20mm external option is available to pre-order in the same tile size of 90cm x 60cm.

Technical
Grade Internal Format	Wall & Floor R10 - Residential interior walls & floors | Commercial interior walls & floors
Installation Points	Large format porcelain tiles should be installed with a good quality S1 grade flexible adhesive and a fine grain grout. For large tiles it is strongly recommended that levelling clips are used and joints should be staggered by a maximum of 30% of the length of the tile AKA staggered brick bond.
Grade 20mm External Format	Outdoor / Rectified - R11 - Residential exterior | Commercial interior & exterior
External Installation Points	External formats are 20mm thick so can be installed on a standard MOT type 1 base, onto a prepared concrete/screed base or via a dry raised/floating installation using fixed or self levelling pedestals. If installing onto MOT then a wet sand & cement mortar mix must be used with the addition of SBR & SBR mixed with powdered to cement to form a bonding slurry used to prime the backs of the impervious tiles to provide a key for bonding. If installing onto concrete/screed a good quality external grade grey tile adhesive can be used. Tiles can either be grouted with a wide joint grout (we offer Rocatex Ultimate & Ardex FL grout), or finished with a brush-in resin compound or alternative jointing method.
Blending	Shade and colour variation should be expected in our ‘natural’ look porcelain products, no different to what you would see in real stone or timber. Stronger tone & colour variation can occur between batches, so it is recommended you ensure you order enough for your project in one batch. As per laying real stone/timber a good number of packs should be opened at a time and blended.
