An eclectic mix of tile textures, tones and effects are used to create a rich, decorative tapestry on floors and wall finishes, for use indoor and outdoor. As vibrant and varied as mosaics patterns, this modern take on traditional porcelain textures employs a variety of randomly arranged dark grey waffle effect tiles; brown, grey and black ancient celtic patterns; green-blue, purple and navy blue high fired ceramic finishes; and glossy black squares, offset by neutral mid-grey and silver-white natural-finish concrete porcelain tiles.
Porcelain tiles are composed of finely ground sand, feldspar and specific clays and are renowned for their ability to resist water ingress due to their higher density in comparison with ceramic and other forms of tiles, which helps with their ability to repel liquids to prevent staining, scrapes and marks while being low maintenance after installation. They are also sought after for their durability against high volumes of foot traffic due to their higher firing temperature during manufacture, and their high resistance to moisture allows them to be specified indoors and outdoor use for flooring and, depending on weight, for wall cladding. Their hardwearing nature means they can be used in commercial settings, while their human scale, beautiful tones and patterns, as well as the ability of modern manufacturing techniques to closely mimic real stone and marble, make them a more cost effective yet highly decorative and aesthetically pleasing option for domestic scenarios.
Commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, and other high footfall, frequently wet areas of domestic and commercial environments, the highly decorative and widely varied finishes are eye catching and a unique, standout feature of the spaces in which they are specified. Their moisture and fire-resisting durable nature, combined with the highly unique, hand-crafted manufacturing process, also allows these tiles to be specified as splashbacks, fireplace surrounds or in decorative pools and landscaped elements. The rough, fine concrete-like aggregate grain is ideal for wet spaces to increase grip and slip resistance, while the smooth, gloss-like tiles create intrigue and vibrancy, reflecting light.
A seamless tile texture with mixed tiles arranged in a stack pattern. Seamless textures can be tiled repeatedly across a surface without visible seams making them useful for architectural drawings and 3D models.
