Parla Granite Black External
Why Graphite: Dark tiles want a near-black grout — anything lighter looks like a smile.Ask your tiler for Ultracolor Plus 144 (Mapei) or Fugabella Color 35 (Kerakoll).
Dark tiles read best against a pale wall. The deep paint option is for the feature wall behind the tile.
- 45° Mitre — Two tiles cut at 45° and butted together. No metal, no plastic. Crisp.
- Pencil bullnose — A separately-fired pencil rail in the matching tile finish, sat on the cut edge.
- Schlüter JOLLY — PVC, anodised aluminium, or brushed brass L-profile that caps the cut tile edge.
- Schlüter RONDEC — Quarter-round metal trim that turns the corner with a soft rolled edge.
- Schlüter SCHIENE — Right-angle metal edge that finishes a tile where it meets a different material.
Outdoor and pool environments punish soft edges. Rolled metal trim survives weather and shoe traffic.
Ask your tiler for Schlüter RONDEC (AC / ACGB).
The old temple stone has been revised, updated and re-engineered. Parla granite has been designed to reflect the current trends in external tiles. There are now two popular colours and the introduction of a 20mm external tile to complement the traditional 10mm tiles. The price has also been drastically reduced to make this a stand out choice for all external projects.

What you’re really specifying
The material
This is genuine natural stone — quarried, not printed. Every piece carries its own veining and tone, and like all stone it wants sealing and a little care. The trade-off for that upkeep is a surface no two of which are ever identical.
The finish
A textured finish adds grip — the reason it's specified for outdoor areas, pool surrounds and any wet floor.
The format
At 600 × 600mm this is a versatile square format that lays cleanly in a grid or on the diagonal, and suits both floors and walls.
The colour
Tonally this sits in the black family. Light changes everything with tile, so order a sample and live with it on your wall or floor across a day before you commit — what reads warm at 9am can read cool by dusk.

Reviews
The sample pack changed our spec
We were stuck on bathroom marble for a month. Three samples landed in 48 hours, we lined them up against the cabinetry, picked one that night. Couldn't have done it from a website photo.
Trade pricing actually competitive
I've used five tile suppliers across builds. Marmoré's net pricing held up against the bigger names without the showroom theatre. Spec sheets are usable too.
Fast spec, calm process
The curation is the win. Less wading through 4,000 SKUs, more time on the actual brief. The 30-minute consultation is gold for a tight deadline.
