APE Arabescato Green 24 x 48 — Premium Porcelain Floor & Wall Tile from Spain
The APE Arabescato Green 24 x 48 is a large-format through-body porcelain tile from Spain, delivering a rich forest-green body veined with dramatic charcoal and soft white threads inspired by the bold color variant of Calacatta marble from the Apuan Alps. Its polished finish that intensifies the depth of the green ground and brings the veining to brilliant, lustrous life makes it a compelling choice for luxury residential and commercial interiors — from statement bathrooms and hotel lobbies to feature walls and open-plan living areas.
About the Arabescato Collection
The Arabescato collection by APE Ceramica is rooted in the legendary Calacatta Corchia marble quarries of the Apuan Alps. The Green colorway takes those iconic veining patterns and applies them to a bold emerald base — a striking, design-forward interpretation of classic Italian stone. Slight shade variation (V2) ensures a consistent, refined look across large-area installations while retaining the organic character of natural stone.
Installation & Applications for APE Arabescato Green 24 x 48
The 24″x48″ (60×120 cm) format minimizes grout lines for a seamless, slab-like aesthetic particularly effective in open bathrooms, master suites, feature walls, and entry foyers. The rectified edge allows for tight grout joints (as low as 1/16″) for a near-continuous stone look. Recommended for residential floors and walls and light commercial applications (PEI 4). Polished finish that intensifies the depth of the green ground and brings the veining to brilliant, lustrous life — always verify slip requirements for specific floor applications when using polished finishes.
