Same material, tile format

Neolith Tile

For floors, walls and showers. Request the Tile Program brochure or talk sizes with our team.

Neolith tile brings the performance of sintered stone to formats suited to tiled applications — flooring, wall cladding, backsplashes, and shower surrounds where a full slab is impractical. The material is identical to Neolith slab: clays, feldspar, and mineral oxides sintered under heat and pressure, producing very low porosity, high scratch and heat resistance, and full UV stability. The difference is format, not composition.

Neolith tile colors

The current Neolith Tile Program: 26 colors, each shown with its finish. This program is only for Neolith. ASR anti-slip finish is available by special order — inquire for available colors.

Satin

Matte finish that is highly resistant to scratches, heat and UV rays. Ideal for commercial applications.

Silk

Matte finish with a thin layer of glaze that provides a subtle shine and soft finish, resulting in a surface that is extremely easy to clean.

Riverwashed

A rough textured finish that evokes a natural surface.

Natural Touch

Offered on Rapolano and Whitesands.

ASR

Special order ASR anti-slip finish for exterior applications. Inquire for available color options.

Technical features

Feature

Details

Waterproof

Resistant to liquids with very low water absorption (see Technical specifications). Suitable for freeze-thaw cycles.

Hard and durable

Scratch-resistant, stain and etch-proof, with no sealing required.

Fire resistant

All-mineral composition will not burn, produce smoke or emit toxic substances or VOCs.

Easy to clean

Can be cleaned with off-the-shelf cleaning products, including bleach or ammonia.

Ultra hygienic

Will not absorb harmful substances and can be easily cleaned. NSF certified as suitable for contact with food.

UV stable

Colors will not fade or change when exposed to UV light.

100% natural

Crafted from premium all-natural minerals. No resins, polyester plastic or styrene.

Recyclable

Up to 98% recycled content and 100% recyclable.

Lightweight

A 6 mm tile weighs only about 3.0 lbs/sqft (14.4 kg/m²).

Bend resistant

High breaking strength (>1,100 N) and modulus of rupture of at least 45 N/mm² (ISO 10545-4, 6 mm), so it stands up to heavy loads and pressure.

Specified for

Interior flooring, residential and commercial

Wall cladding and feature walls

Shower surrounds and wet areas

Backsplashes

Hospitality, retail, and office interiors

Exterior applications — ASR anti-slip finish by special order

Large continuous surfaces where slab format is impractical

Consider alternatives

Countertops and horizontal work surfaces — specify slab instead

Applications needing the variation of natural stone

Heavy-impact industrial flooring

Curved or complex geometry without appropriate fabrication

Tile or slab?

Neolith is the same material in both formats. Use this comparison to choose the right one for your project.

Choose tile for floors, walls, and wet areas, where tile setting is the appropriate installation method and seams are expected.

Choose slab for vertical or non worktop horizontal any surface where minimizing seams is part of the design intent.

The material performs identically. The choice is about format, installation method rather than about performance.

Choosing your Tile

Plan the layout around the format. Large format tile also require extremely level substrate for installation.

Match tile and slab if you are using both. Pair Neolith slab countertops with matching tile to create a seamless, cohesive architectural flow throughout the space.

Use an installer experienced with large format. For best finished results, use an installer experienced with large format.

Care and maintenance

Clean with standard household cleaners and a soft cloth or mop. Neolith's low porosity means it does not absorb liquids, so staining is not a normal concern.

Sealing is not required. The density is inherent to the material rather than applied as a coating.

For textured finishes, a soft brush works better than a flat mop in surface relief.

FAQs

What sizes does Neolith tile come in?

Neolith tile is available in 1500 × 1500 mm (59″ × 59″, special size — inquire to place a special order), 1500 × 750 mm (59″ × 29.5″) and 750 × 750 mm (29.5″ × 29.5″), all 6 mm (¼″) thick.

Can Neolith tile be used in a shower?

Yes, it is specified for shower surrounds and wet areas. Slip resistance varies by finish, so check the slip data under Technical specifications before using tile on a shower floor.

Is Neolith tile the same material as Neolith slab?

Yes. Same composition and same sintering process. The difference is format and installation method.

Can Neolith tile be used on floors?

Yes, in both residential and commercial settings. Slip resistance varies by finish — check the slip data under Technical specifications for your application.

Does Neolith tile need sealing?

The tile does not — its low porosity is inherent. Grout is a separate material and should be specified and maintained according to its own manufacturer's guidance.

Can Neolith tile go outdoors?

Standard finishes are appropriate for interior applications. An ASR anti-slip finish is available by special order for exterior applications — inquire for available colors, and call your Evolv Surfaces Territory Manager to review outdoor application considerations. Frost resistance: not damaged (ISO 10545-12).

Can I match Neolith tile to Neolith slab in the same project?

Often yes, but please confirm with your Evolv Surfaces representative that the specific color and finish is offered in both the slab range and the Tile Program before specifying.
