Quartzite-look porcelain tile · Toledo Design House
MSI Malahari
Malahari brings long, flowing stone-like markings into porcelain, with a finish that changes subtly as light moves across it. The result can feel softer than a high-gloss surface while retaining some reflection. Toledo Design House can help compare its veining and scale with your cabinets, wood tones and room lighting.

Make it your own
Plan the whole room.
- Compare a sample near a window and under your evening lighting to see how the lappato sheen reads.
- Review several tile faces together before choosing the direction of the veining and the overall layout.
- Compare the two field sizes using the room dimensions, including doorways and edges where cuts will be visible.

Before you choose
Malahari questions, answered.
Is Malahari natural quartzite?
No. It is porcelain with a quartzite-inspired design. Select the installation and care products for porcelain rather than assuming it has the characteristics of a natural stone slab.
Is lappato the same as fully polished tile?
Malahari's lappato finish is described by MSI as semi-polished, with a softer sheen and textured detail. Compare the actual surface under your lighting before choosing it from a photograph alone.
