The Gambini Ardennes Noir is a black floor tile measuring 60 x 60 cm with a matte natural stone look. The dark tone and subtle nuances in the surface give a floor peace and depth, without creating a busy image.
Design & appearance
Ardennes Noir has a deep black base with fine lighter speckling reminiscent of sawn bluestone. The matte finish dampens reflections, keeping the color full and the surface less prone to shining under artificial light. The square format of 60 x 60 cm fits a sleek, classic floor image that works in almost any interior.
Application & use
This tile is intended for indoor floors, for example, in a living room, hallway, bedroom, or kitchen. The tile is suitable for use in combination with underfloor heating. According to the supplied product data, the tile can also be applied to walls.
For wet barefoot zones such as a walk-in shower, suitability has not been demonstrated for this product. The specified slip classification R9 belongs to the test method with footwear and says nothing about barefoot use on a wet floor. If in doubt, ask for advice before incorporating this tile into a shower zone.

Tiler tips
- Calculate approximately 10% extra tiles for cutting loss. More may be needed for a room with many corners or a slanted wall.
- This tile is not rectified. Therefore, use a slightly wider joint than with a rectified tile; the manufacturer or supplier specifies the required joint width.
- Work from multiple packs simultaneously. This way, you distribute the natural nuance differences evenly across the floor.
- A black matte floor shows dust and dry residue more quickly. Remove cement haze immediately after grouting.

Frequently asked questions
How many tiles are in a pack? A package contains 1.44 m², which equates to four 60 x 60 cm tiles.
Can I use this tile in a walk-in shower? Suitability has not been demonstrated for this product. The slip classification R9 is measured with footwear and does not apply to wet barefoot zones.
What does non-rectified mean for installation? The edges are not ground, so the tiles have minimal size differences among themselves. Therefore, you work with a slightly wider joint instead of a tight minimal joint.
Why is the color of my tiles not identical everywhere? A natural stone look is made up of multiple print variants, so the floor looks natural. Therefore, mix tiles from different packs during installation.
