Daltile Novelette Tile

Novelette brings the quiet warmth of natural travertine to a through-body porcelain paver built for the outdoors. Its soft, textured surface and gently layered movement suit patios, pool surrounds, entryways, and covered porches — anywhere you want the look of quarried stone with the toughness of porcelain. Choose from two earthy tones, Fable and Legend, in generous 24″ formats.

Features

• Natural travertine look, through-body porcelain — high-definition stone visuals in a colorbody porcelain paver.
• Textured, slip-resistant surface — DCOF ≥ 0.60 wet for confident footing on exterior floors.
• 2 CM paver build — nominal 2 CM thickness engineered for pedestal, sand-set, and mortar exterior installs.
• Impervious & frost-resistant — under 0.5% water absorption; dense porcelain shrugs off weather and never needs sealing.
• Large-format 24″ sizes — 24″×24″ and 24″×48″ for a modern, expansive layout with fewer joints.
• Two versatile earth tones — Fable and Legend pair easily with stone, wood, and greenery.

Coverage & Ordering

We recommend ordering about 10% extra for cuts and waste. Tip: order your full project — including overage — in one purchase. Tile is produced in batches, and re-orders may ship from a different lot with slight shade variation.

You may also need

Complete the install with exterior-rated thinset mortar, grout in your chosen shade, tile edging / metal trim, and spacers. Novelette is porcelain, so no sealer is required.
