Short answer: on this site, marble-look is the name of a face, not a material. The fourteen tiles under it record polished, soft polished, matt, honed or fluted faces in three size families, and none of the fourteen records a material. Nine read white, four grey, one beige. Per square metre they take about 5.6 tiles at 300 × 600 mm, 2.8 at 600 × 600 mm and 1.4 at 600 × 1200 mm. The table lists all fourteen; the sections below say what each family and each face records.

1. What a marble-look name records, and what it leaves blank
The name describes the figure on the face: veins, clouds and drift in the tones of the stone it is named for. The Material row on all fourteen product pages reads Not specified, because the supplier's documentation does not state one, and this site does not fill in a blank. Five other products here record natural marble, all of them mosaics, and they are the subject of The five tiles here that are actually stone. A look and a material are two different answers, and only one of them is on file for these fourteen.
2. Six made in 300 × 600 and 600 × 600, polished or soft polished
Pietra Latte, Pietra Storm, Pietra Sienna, Pietra Cream, Pietra Bianco, Pietra Neve. Each records two faces, polished and soft polished, and two formats. At 300 × 600 mm a square metre takes about 5.6 tiles and shows 5.0 m of joint; at 600 × 600 mm, 2.8 tiles and 3.3 m. The rectangle and the square share the 600 mm side, so the two formats can meet on one wall at a common joint. Both formats are listed under 300 × 600 mm tiles and 600 × 600 mm tiles.
3. Six made in 600 × 600 and 600 × 1200
Pietra Dove, Pietra Smoke, Pietra Shadow, Pietra Alba, Pietra Luna, Pietra Perla. Five of them record matt and polished faces; Perla records a honed face only. The long format is the fewest-joints option in the range: about 1.4 tiles per square metre and 2.5 m of joint, against 3.3 m for the square. A 1.2 m tile also changes the labour rather than the look: it wants two people to place, and a wall that is not a multiple of 1,200 mm leaves more of each tile as offcut. These are listed under 600 × 1200 mm tiles and Large format tiles.
4. Two made only in 600 × 1200
Pietra Vela, Pietra Vela Fluted. Vela records a matt face with long grey-green veins; Vela Fluted carries the same white look across a fluted face, a run of parallel ribs along the tile. On a fluted face the ribs cast their own shadow lines, so the wall has two sets of lines: the joints every 600 or 1,200 mm and the ribs in between. Which way the ribs run is set by which way the tile is hung, and that is a set-out decision to make before the first tile, not after.
5. Polished, soft polished, matt, honed and fluted: what each face records
A polished face returns light as a highlight, so a wall of it carries whatever stands in front of it, a window or a lamp, as a reflection. Soft polished sits between that and matt, with a lower sheen. Matt and honed both diffuse light; a honed face has no reflection to break up the surface, so lippage between tiles and any wandering joint show plainly, which makes the levelling of the bed matter more than the choice between two honed tiles. Fluted adds relief. Where a tile records more than one face, the product page lists the alternatives; the cart sells a purchase unit, not a face. Faces are grouped under Polished, Soft polished, Matt and Honed.
6. Joints per square metre, on a feature wall
A feature wall 3 m wide and 2.4 m high is 7.2 m². Before cuts that is about 40 tiles and 36 m of joint at 300 × 600 mm, 20 tiles and 24 m at 600 × 600 mm, or 10 tiles and 18 m at 600 × 1200 mm. Joint length is the tile's perimeter divided by twice its area, so it does not change with the pattern; only the cuts do. How to compare tile scale covers what those numbers do to the eye.
7. Vein direction is a set-out decision
A marble-look tile carries its figure in a fixed direction on each tile. Laid all one way the veins read as a continuous drift; rotated tile by tile they read as a patchwork. The product pages do not record how many different faces a design is made in, so the honest check is to look at several tiles from a current sample side by side before setting out. The product pages state that shade and surface vary between production batches; that line applies to the figure too.
8. Nine whites, four greys, one beige
The whites run from the bright, fine-veined Neve and Luna through the warm off-white Latte and Cream to Alba's bold grey cloud, all under White tiles. The greys are Storm's cool blue-grey, Dove's pale stone tone, Smoke's mid grey and Shadow's deep grey with pale crossing veins, under Grey tiles. Sienna, a warm tan with one broad diagonal vein, is the single entry under Beige tiles. Those descriptions are the product pages' own words.
9. Fourteen looks and five stones
The five natural marble products here are mosaics, on sheets from 225 × 230 to 305 × 305 mm, in the natural marble mosaics collection. The fourteen marble-look tiles are large formats with no material on file. Care, sealing and cleaning are not recorded on the product page for either group; those are questions for the installer and the manufacturer's documentation. What to confirm before choosing lists what each product page states and what it leaves blank.
Questions people ask
Is a marble-look tile natural marble?
Not on this site. The fourteen marble-look tiles record no material; the name describes the face. The five products that record natural marble are mosaics, and they are listed separately.
Which marble-look face reflects the most?
Polished, then soft polished. Matt and honed diffuse light; fluted adds shadow lines. Each product page lists which faces that tile records.
How many 600 × 1200 tiles for a wall?
About 1.4 per square metre, nominal. A 7.2 m² wall is about 10 tiles before the cutting allowance your tiler confirms; subtract windows and openings from the net area first.
Polished 600 × 1200 or honed 600 × 600?
Three recorded differences. Reflection: a polished face returns light as a highlight, a honed face diffuses it. Joints: 2.5 m per square metre at 600 × 1200 mm against 3.3 m at 600 × 600 mm. Lippage: a honed face has no reflection to break up the surface, so any lip between tiles shows plainly, and a 1.2 m tile shows a wave in the wall more than a 600 mm one does. Which faces each tile records is on its product page; the choice between them is taste plus the flatness of the wall you have.
Where these numbers come from
Sizes, finishes, colours and the Material row were read from the fourteen product pages on 5 September 2026. Tiles per square metre are nominal counts with no joint; joint length is the total edge length in one square metre. All fourteen are listed under Marble look tiles.
