Cerdomus Alma Onice 24×48 Polished — Marble-Look Porcelain from Italy
The Cerdomus Alma Onice 24×48 Polished is a marble-look porcelain tile from Italy in a striking 24″x48″ large-format rectified format, with a polished surface that brings depth, light, and a refined finish to interior installations. Its warm honey-amber with translucent veining reminiscent of natural onyx captures the look of the prized banded onyx stones used in classical and Art Deco interiors with the durability and low-maintenance performance of modern porcelain — ideal for residential and light commercial installations across the Northeast US.
About the Alma Collection by Cerdomus
The Alma collection by Cerdomus is a curated journey through the world’s most prized marbles — sourced from exclusive quarries in Italy and the Middle and Far East, then reinterpreted in porcelain through high-definition digital ceramic technology. White, in all its unexpected shades, is the protagonist of the collection. Manufactured by Cerdomus in Castel Bolognese, Italy (a family-owned ceramics maker since 1969), Alma is offered in coordinated sizes and finishes so Onice can be installed alongside its sibling marbles for layered, designer interiors.
Design Notes — Why Specify Onice
The soft, glowing tonal range gives it exceptional versatility — striking enough for feature walls, gentle enough for full floors. Pair Onice with neutral cabinetry and warm wood for residential softness, or with matte black fixtures and brushed brass for a more architectural, contemporary statement.
Installation & Applications for Cerdomus Alma Onice 24×48 Polished
The 24″x48″ rectified format supports tight grout joints and a refined, contemporary installation. The polished finish is best suited to interior floor and wall applications — kitchens, bathrooms, foyers, feature walls, and bathroom vanities — where light reflection and a luxurious marble surface are the design goal. The rectified edges allow for tight grout joints down to 1/16″. Cross-coordinate with matching sizes and the matte finish for a multi-finish installation within the same Onice look.
