Shaw Prime Aura 24x48 Polished Large-Format Marble-Look Porcelain Tile

Shaw Prime Aura Polished 24x48 (style 525TS) is a large-format, polished marble-look glazed porcelain tile measuring 23.62" x 47.24", nominal 24" x 48". It is the most dramatic member of the Prime Aura family, pairing 4-foot panels with a high-gloss finish so veining flows across the surface with little interruption. It also carries the strongest published specs in the line: a glaze hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, a break strength of at least 380 lbf, a 0.354" thickness and a frost-resistant rating.

Best for: feature and TV walls, fireplace surrounds, primary bathroom walls, formal living and dining floors, and entryways.

Where to Install

Prime Aura Polished 24x48 is rated as a floor tile, so it works on interior floors as well as walls: formal living and dining rooms, entries, primary bathrooms, fireplace and TV walls, and shower walls.

Frequently Asked Questions

How scratch resistant is Prime Aura Polished 24x48? Shaw lists a glaze hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale for Prime Aura Polished 24x48, so it holds up well to everyday wear. As with any polished tile, sweep away grit and use furniture pads to keep the shine.
