About Arka
Arka Cotto by CARMEN
The Arka Cotto by CARMEN is a porcelain tile that recalls eroded stone and aged metal, in a satin surface that shifts with the light.
Available in Dubai through WSPR.
A mineral map on the wall
Arka reads like a map of minerals, with the marks of eroded stone and aged metal. Layers of tone appear as if an old fresco were slowly uncovered.
The satin surface answers to light and changes through the day. Small tiles make it a gentle, modern canvas.

Questions people ask before ordering tiles
Answered here so nobody has to message first. Anything else: whisper to us.
How many boxes do I need?
Measure the area in m², add 10 % for cutting (15 % for diagonal or herringbone layouts) and divide by the m² per box shown for your format. The calculator above does this and rounds up to whole boxes. Keep one spare box for future repairs — production batches vary slightly in shade.
What do rectified, R10 and V2 mean?
Rectified edges are cut square after firing, so joints can be as narrow as 2 mm. R10–R12 is the anti-slip rating for shoes (R11 and above for wet outdoor areas); A, B and C is the barefoot rating for pools and showers. V1–V4 is how much the faces vary from tile to tile: V1 uniform, V4 every piece different.
Can I use it on the floor, outside, or in a pool?
The “Use” line in the technical data is the answer for this exact format and finish: polished finishes stay indoors; outdoor terraces need an anti-slip finish or a 20 mm version; pools need the barefoot rating and pool-edge special pieces.
How do samples work?
Order a sample of any colour from this page; it is deducted from your order. Samples show one face of the design — check the “all faces” gallery for the full variation.
Lead time and delivery
Quick-ship formats leave our Dubai warehouse first; made-to-order formats are produced in Spain and arrive by sea in the time shown next to the price. Delivery is to kerbside on pallets; carrying to the floor and site storage are quoted on request.
Which grout, adhesive and joint width?
Porcelain needs a C2 adhesive, applied to both tile and floor for formats over 60 cm. A 2–3 mm joint for rectified tiles, 4–5 mm otherwise, with a grout close to the tile colour. The installation & maintenance manual in Downloads has the full guidance.
Can I return unopened boxes?
Made-to-order pieces are produced for you and cannot be returned, which is why the calculator rounds carefully and samples are cheap. For quick-ship stock, whisper to us before ordering and we will confirm what applies.
