The 44th Foshan Ceramics Expo saw GUSTO's headquarters showroom become a real hit. The newly unveiled 900×1800mm 5A Velvet series drew many attending dealers to stop, touch, photograph, and inquire during the pre-exhibition."**
What are they really looking at?
01 Stacked buffs:
50° ultra-white body, 12mm ultra-thick, 35° velvet matte
There are plenty of 900×1800mm large slabs on the market, but those that tick all four boxes at once? Only a handful.
Lunar Sandstone, Inkstream Jade, Sakura White, Snowpeak Jade, Crabapple Pink, Taihu Jade... each name carries the poetry of the East.
50° Ultra-White Body: The whiteness of ordinary matte tile bodies usually ranges from 20° to 30°, often appearing greyish or dull. With a 50° ultra-white body, light-colored tiles present a pure, true hue and clear textures, delivering a premium look at first glance.
12mm Ultra-Thick: Conventional large slabs are typically 9–10mm thick. At 12mm, the tile feels solid and substantial in hand — less prone to breakage during installation, reduced risk of chipping during processing, and durability taken to the max.
35° Velvet Matte: Neither glaring like a glossy finish nor dull like a flat matte. 35° is the sweet spot of the Velvet series — it feels like a baby's skin under your hand and looks like moonlight spilling across the floor.
Put these three together, and you get the pinnacle of matte tiles.
02 Trusted Authority:
Co-author of the new 5A National Standard, with AAAAA-rated product quality
Consumers are getting smarter. A salesperson's smooth talk matters less than a lab report.
GUSTO is one of the co-authors of the national New 5A Standard. This new velvet series has earned the highest possible rating: AAAAA certification.
Selling tiles no longer relies on "blowing hot air" — it's all about "data." That's the "weapon of trust" dealers want most.
03 Why do dealers call this new product a "profit powerhouse"?
Strong customer pull: The combination of 900×1800mm large format + 50° ultra-white body + velvet texture acts as a natural billboard at the store entrance — you can literally see the foot traffic increase.
1️⃣ Lower barrier to closing the deal:
Let customers test the quality themselves — scrub it with steel wool, pour soy sauce on it, measure it with a caliper right there in the store. Trust is built with minimal effort.
2️⃣ Higher average ticket size:
Large slabs + whole-home matching recommendations can easily double the order value. What's more, GUSTO adopts a category‑based distribution model, offering territorial protection and solid profit margins.
3️⃣ In a downward market, great products are the lifeline.
This velvet series is exactly the flagship product that can restore dealers' confidence.
