Philadelphia Commercial Obelisk Loose Lay 18x36 Stone-Look Loose Lay Luxury Vinyl Tile

Philadelphia Commercial Obelisk Loose Lay (style #5679V) is an 18" x 36" loose lay luxury vinyl tile that reproduces the look of marble, soapstone and slate, designed to evoke history and grandeur with a contemporary twist. It is made as a heavy commercial luxury vinyl tile with fiberglass and finished with ExoGuard®. The rectangular 18x36 module gives a stone floor proportion that reads like cut slabs, and the loose lay format means the tiles can be set quickly and lifted later. Six colors range from crisp white marble to charcoal soapstone, and the same visuals continue in other Obelisk formats.

Best for: Bank branches, hotel lobbies and elevator landings, retail showrooms, corporate reception, and clinic waiting rooms that want a stone look without stone weight.

Colors

• Charcoal Sopstn 00938: charcoal soapstone, a deep warm-black gray and the boldest choice.
• Carrara White 01172: a cool, near-white marble look that brightens any entry.
• Beige Slate 01173: warm sand-colored slate with an earthy feel.
• Ivory Soapstone 01174: a creamy off-white, softer and warmer than Carrara White.
• Gray Slate 05214: mid-gray slate with a faint mauve warmth.
• Light Gry Spstn 05215: light gray soapstone, a neutral pale gray between the whites and Gray Slate.

Two whites, two grays, one beige and one charcoal make it easy to build a checkerboard or border. Get free samples to compare veining and tone.

Why Choose Obelisk Loose Lay 18x36

• Marble, soapstone and slate visuals in one coordinated collection

• Fiberglass-reinforced heavy commercial luxury vinyl construction
• ExoGuard® finish for help with daily commercial wear
• Loose lay installation for quick, low-disruption projects

Installation Methods

Obelisk Loose Lay is approved for loose lay installation. The fiberglass-stabilized tiles rest on the prepared subfloor and hold their position through weight and a tight fit, so there is less adhesive work and less downtime for an occupied building. Stone-look tiles in this size are often set in a running-bond (offset) or straight grid, and a third-offset pattern helps avoid lining up veining. Check subfloor flatness and moisture before you begin, using the Obelisk Loose Lay spec sheet and Shaw's installation instructions as your guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stone does Obelisk Loose Lay look like? Philadelphia Commercial Obelisk Loose Lay is designed to look like marble, soapstone or slate, with colors such as Carrara White, Ivory Soapstone and Beige Slate.

Does Obelisk come in a glue-down version? Yes. Obelisk Glue Down is a 12x24 tile, and there is also an Obelisk SPC Click rigid core version, both with the same six color names as Obelisk Loose Lay.

How does Obelisk Loose Lay compare with Pylon LL? Both are 18x36 stone-look loose lay tiles with matching color names. Pylon LL is also approved for perimeter or direct glue, while Obelisk Loose Lay is fiberglass-reinforced and approved for loose lay.

Is stone-look vinyl a good choice for a bank or office lobby? A stone-look tile like Obelisk Loose Lay gives a lobby the polished look of marble or slate while staying lighter, warmer and quieter underfoot than real stone, and it is easier to replace a single tile.

Specifier Tips

For a classic entry, lay Carrara White as the field and frame it with a single row of Charcoal Sopstn; for a warmer hospitality look, combine Ivory Soapstone with Beige Slate. Shuffle tiles from several boxes as you go so veining does not repeat side by side. If the lobby connects to carpeted corridors, plan a flush transition and a recessed walk-off mat at the doors.
