The Pavé Brick series offers the look of painted brick floors and walls that have aged over time. The Naturale color closely resembles the real bricks that inspired Sichenia to make the line, with the warm tones of the terracotta brick coming through as the paint gets worn away. In the Sbiancato (white wash) color, the painted surface remains mostly intact. The two rectangular sizes can make multiple patterns on their own or together. The Grip finish, available in the 6 1/2 x 16 Naturale only, is suitable for many exterior applications.
Vibrant is a porcelain wall tile available in 2 x 9. It features a gentle texture of vertical irregular bars that interact with light and create intriguing reflections. The structure of the tile is enriched by a blend of shades within each of the 6 colors, with some colors having more noticeable contrasts than others. A glossy crystalline glaze covers the surface, making it easy to grout and clean.
The Opus series is a contemporary wood look that stands out because of the complexity of its colors. Each color has warm and cool tones that add depth and create a very rich final look.
DiscontinuedLivingstone features four popular white marbles - from the gentle movement of the Bianco and Gold colors to the stronger veining of the Arabescato and Melange. The antiqued finish gives the appearance of a floor in a historic building that has been aged and worn over time. The technical advantages of an Italian porcelain and the various mosaic options add to the series' allure.
Verde 1999 employs graphics from different stones and concrete, mixing them together to create the crossover contemporary/classic look for the Blast series. Both sizes of this colored-body inkjet porcelain are rectified. It is important to blend tiles within each carton, and from different cartons during installation to insure a proper range of variation.
Terrazzo flooring dates back to the 1500s in Venice and first arrived in the United States in the 1700s. It is an ageless look that is currently experiencing a surge in popularity. The Retro series captures the look of Terrazzo in 3 classic colors - white, taupe and grey - but with all the technical advantages of porcelain. Retro is special because it has a balanced mixture of large and small stone chips. The white takes advantage of the stone mix with subtlety, while the grey and taupe are a bit more lively.
The “Superfici” series is about playing with different “surfaces” or textures. Four kinds of glass (glossy, matte and two textures) and three finishes of stone (polished, honed and bush-hammered) are blended together, adding a unique dimension to stone and glass mosaics. Slight differences in thickness and size add extra depth to the final look.
The Ardenne series is a stone look inspired by the flowing veins of Brazilian slate and the delicate pebbles found on the shore. The final aesthetic would be equally at home in a modern or rustic design.
For making the Blois series, View found inspiration in the old castles of France. The look is a blend of the stone blocks used to build the fortress walls and the aged cotto found on the castle floors. The mix of the two creates a unique and intriguing tile with rich variation.
Corso is a porcelain interpretation of travertine with a subtly rustic appeal. The graphic includes the characteristic movement of travertine, including charming imperfections and small areas of fill. It has a slightly chiseled edge but it’s a rectified material, so customers can get different aesthetic results based on what grout joint size they prefer. It comes in two warm colors that are trending and are perfectly appropriate for a travertine look.
The Tibur series was inspired by Jerusalem stone, a well-known limestone that has been used for centuries. This porcelain version has some special details that make it especially interesting. Even though it is a rectified tile, the edges are gently chiseled. The surface is also not completely flat; it has some undulation and some areas of indentation to give the feel of old stone. The semi-polishing of the Vintage finish creates a unique effect on the undulated surface and has a soft “rubbed” feel to it. The mosaics - a Herringbone in the Vintage finish and the Intreccio Mosaic in the Natural finish - make this line a complete package.
