Overview
Babilon Arctic is a white stone-look porcelain tile offered in matte and polished finishes and three sizes, from a versatile 12 by 24 up to a large-format 48 by 48. Its pale arctic-white face carries the soft mineral movement of natural stone without the upkeep, and the finish sets its mood: matte reads calm and contemporary underfoot, while polished adds a light-reflecting sheen suited to walls and shower surrounds. Rated for floor, wall, and shower use, it lays down a bright, seamless backdrop across large areas where fewer grout lines and a consistent tone matter most.
Explore White Porcelain TilesDesign & Color Guide
An arctic-white surface opens and brightens a room, bouncing light through bathrooms and smaller spaces where a darker floor would close them in. The large-format sizes suit open, modern layouts because they minimize grout lines and let the pale tone run uninterrupted, while the 12 by 24 gives more flexibility for shower floors and feature walls. Pair the matte finish with warm wood or brushed brass for a soft, spa-like scheme, or the polished finish with black fixtures for sharper, gallery-style contrast. Because the color stays consistent from piece to piece, it works equally well as a full-floor field or a floor-to-ceiling wall.
Explore White TilesAbout Porcelain
Porcelain tile is a dense, low-porosity ceramic fired from refined clay at temperatures above 1,200°C (2,200°F), which vitrifies the body into a hard, water-resistant surface. Certified porcelain absorbs less than 0.5 percent of its weight in water under the ASTM C373 test, and that low absorption is what lets it handle wet rooms, freeze-thaw climates, and heavy foot traffic without cracking or staining. Stone-look and wood-look porcelain takes its pattern from high-resolution digital printing applied before firing, so the design runs crisp and consistent across every piece while the body underneath stays far tougher than the natural surface it imitates. Unlike natural stone, porcelain needs no sealing and does not etch under acidic cleaners, which makes it a low-maintenance choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and busy floors.
Explore Porcelain TileInstallation & Care
Porcelain tile should be set with a polymer-modified thin-set mortar rated for porcelain over a flat, clean, dry substrate. Rectified porcelain, with machine-squared edges, allows tight grout joints down to about one-eighth inch, while pressed-edge tile needs a slightly wider joint to absorb minor size variation. Porcelain requires no sealing, because its body is already vitrified and non-absorbent; only cement grout benefits from a sealer. Clean it with water or a pH-neutral cleaner, and unlike natural stone it tolerates most household cleaners without etching. For large-format pieces, use a tile-leveling system and back-butter each tile for full mortar coverage, which prevents lippage across the wider surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Babilon Arctic porcelain waterproof?
Babilon Arctic is porcelain with less than 0.5 percent water absorption, so it is highly water-resistant and rated for showers, bathrooms, and wet floors. Its grout, not the tile, is the part that benefits from sealing.
Which finish should I choose, matte or polished?
Choose matte for floors and shower floors, where the low sheen adds slip confidence and hides watermarks. Choose polished for walls, backsplashes, and shower surrounds, where its reflective surface brightens the space and wipes clean easily.
What sizes does Babilon Arctic come in?
Babilon Arctic comes in three sizes: 12 by 24 inches, 24 by 48 inches, and 48 by 48 inches. The larger formats reduce grout lines for a cleaner, more continuous look across floors and walls.
Does porcelain tile need to be sealed?
No. Porcelain is fired into a dense, non-absorbent body, so the tile itself never needs sealing. Only cement grout benefits from a sealer to resist staining in kitchens and bathrooms.
