EMSER TILE LLC CONTESSA POLISHED 3X6 (3.27 SF/CTN)
Polished porcelain subway tile with marble appearance
Selected Color: DAMA
Technical Specifications
Contessa is a 3x6 porcelain tile with polished finish and marble aesthetic. Manufactured as porcelain through high-temperature firing process, producing a non-porous, dense body. Polished surface finish provides reflective quality typical of polished marble. Subway format (3x6) allows for running bond or stacked patterns. Material composition is fully vitrified porcelain body with glazed polished surface. Porcelain body density resists water absorption and staining. Suitable for interior wall applications including backsplash, shower walls, and fireplace surrounds.
Application & Performance
Contessa is engineered for interior wall applications where moisture resistance and aesthetic consistency are required. Polished porcelain surface resists staining and moisture penetration, making it suitable for kitchen backsplash and bathroom shower walls. Non-porous porcelain body prevents water absorption, reducing mold and mildew risk in wet environments. Polished finish reflects light, creating visual depth in confined spaces. Recommended for wall and backsplash use; not rated for floor applications due to polished surface slip characteristics. Fireplace surround application suitable due to non-combustible porcelain composition and thermal stability. Grout lines require sealing in high-moisture areas to prevent moisture migration.
