Millennium Quartz provides a breathtakingly accurate interpretation of natural stone. It embodies quartzite’s characteristic visual depth, aesthetic richness and even includes its glints and gleams of light. The four colors are complex and they all incorporate warm and cool tones in their graphics. They are neutral but each has its own strong character. One tile feels like a piece of art; installing the tile in an entire area creates a decadent artistic flair.
Lanka’s 4" Hexagon Porcelain Mosaic is the perfect choice for restoration projects and for those seeking to add a classic element in a contemporary setting.
Baar presents a realistic and elevated porcelain version of Jura stone. The graphic faithfully represents the real Jura, including the fossils that are characteristic of this distinctive limestone. Various prehistoric animals are evident, such as nautilus, annelids, and other interesting critters. The fossils are different sizes and shapes, with some light and some dark; they add depth and create beautiful graphic movement. The three colors have gentle shade variation and a surface texture which add richness to the final look. As a stone look, this is a very sleek and sophisticated product.
Mariner’s Cool series has the look of a freshly plastered wall. The graphic is very soft with subtle movement, and the surface has areas that are matte and areas with a semi-gloss sheen, making the tile come alive as it is touched by the light. The color palette of Cool is all about warmth with a warm white, grey, almond and green. The factory designed this 12 x 36 series as a wall tile but, as a porcelain, it is also suitable for floors.
Twist is a new interpretation of decorative patterns pulled from the rich history of ceramic tile art. The Pop pattern, with its rounded edges and intricate details, gives a very high-end effect. The tile surface is matte and the pattern is a glossy glaze embossed over the matte background (white embossed on the Black, Sky and Green and black embossed on the White). Twist is fun and dynamic and allows for designers to play as they can mix colors, use the deco and the plain field together, and just generally find creative ways to make projects sing.
The Glassalike series is a porcelain 4x12 with a frame effect around the edges of each piece which resembles the shadow that appears around the edge of translucent glass tile. The reflective quality of the glossy finish further adds to the feeling of glass. The graphic is deceptively simple at first but (as best seen in a larger area) this tile has depth and movement created by the subtle shade variation and the undulated surface. The overall look combined with a soothing color palette evokes a deep sense of calm. The palette includes classic Bianco, a chameleon-like neutral Taupe and a deep, rich Blu. The Bianco comes in both Glossy and Matte.
Gazzini’s new marble, White Beauty, is their interpretation of the real marble with the same name. They wanted to make a marble with green tones and selected the White Beauty because it’s a unique material that is now difficult to find and extremely expensive due to the quarry closing in 2023. They achieved the realistic look and feel by using large quantities of glaze and layering them in a way to get the very deep green and black veins that are the defining part of this marble’s look. They also brush the surface which creates additional depth in the graphic and also gives it a touch that feels honed.
Scultorea features the quintessential white marble look of Statuario Argento. By combining Marca Corona’s stellar historical success with making white marbles and their updated and enhanced technology, this is the new, improved generation for statuario-look porcelain. We are stocking 12x24 and 24x48 in both Natural and Polished. Then there is a 2x10 size in the new Velvet finish which is like a silky honed marble. The 8-1/2” Hex and the mosaics come in Natural only.
Elios Slate is a porcelain with a realistic slate look, giving us the grandeur of Mother Nature’s beauty but with the technical advantages of porcelain material. With its rectified edges, the Slate line avoids being overly rustic, allowing customers to use the material in a variety of design concepts. The realism and depth of color will add a richness to any installation. All colors have the characteristic movement of real slate, while some colors have wider shade variation than others.
Mariner was inspired by Nature when creating their well-executed, porcelain reproduction of real travertine. They gave it an upgraded, elegant feel by softening the look and removing some of travertine’s less appealing imperfections. With three neutral colors in 12 x 24 and 24 x 24 in a rectified edge, this line will work well for customers seeking to create a harmonious, natural atmosphere. Theory is suitable for residential and light to moderate commercial applications.
IL Cotto epitomizes the essence of terracotta. It has a very natural, earthy look with plenty of movement including the little specks and imperfections that are present in real terracotta material, while also having the technical advantages of glazed porcelain. The theme continues with the palette of three warm colors - Fango (mud), Terra (earth) and Sabbia (sand).
Vibes comes in four glossy colors that have subtle shade variation which is enhanced by the way the glazed naturally pool around the edges. The series centers around the Peak version which is a structured tile with a simple pillow shape, and it also has a standard flat tile in the same 4 colors. The pillow allows customers to create a 3D design that looks stunning on its own, but it’s also fun to play with using the two versions together.
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.
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 its technical advantages of porcelain. Retro is special because it has a balanced mixture of large and small stone chips. The white is takes advantage of the stone mix with subtlety, while the grey and taupe are a bit more lively.
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.
Atelier is a line with a classic soul redesigned for modern tastes. It has the look of limestone that is artfully fashioned to straddle the line between rustic and modern. Gazzini was inspired by the popular Tala limestone, and then they mixed in some subtle travertine graphics to add extra depth to the neutral palette. The edges are slightly chiseled, yet they are also rectified allowing for tighter grout joints. The surface structure has some texture without being overdone. The 16x16 size offers a square size sets the line apart by being something different, while at the same time it’s completely logical and appropriate for the look of the tile. This is a line with timeless, natural charm that will appeal to diverse tastes.
In Tinte Unite, Gazzini presents a simple concept, a line of solid colors, with their visual eye for detail. The surface is not completely flat, and the three colors are carefully studied to be the best possible versions of a pure white, a deep black and a soft, warm light grey. With a rectified 12 x 24 and 12 x 12, and a non-rectified 8-1/2” Hexagon, the line provides many options for combinations and patterns. We added a 2 x 2 mosaic in all three olors, plus two options in a 2 x 2 checkerboard mosaic.
We have added the rich yellow Cedro color to this popular series.
Terrae is a slate look that is modern and refined without sacrificing the recognizable and distinct appearance of slate. The earthy colors have the variation and movement of slate without being extreme.
Shizen is a new generation of wood-look porcelains. By using the 3D technology, Edimax gives maximum realism to the product by creating a tactile wood grain surface. With its color palette comprised of 4 warm tones — from the soft, golden hues of the Miele color to the dark, velvety brown of Torba — this material can be used to create inviting and cozy spaces. The 6 x 48 size also adds to the realism of this line as the thinner planks create more variation.
Arkistyle Terrazzo is an eye-catching contemporary reinterpretation of terrazzo, distinguished by the presence of multicolored flakes, creating a sophisticated contrasting effect. By reworking the terrazzo concept in this way, Arkistyle offers a successful synthesis of natural charm in a decorative aspect. The two color options coordinate well with the Arkistyle Limestone palette and with many other tiles.
The Arkistyle Limestone is a refined limestone look featured by the inclusion of marine fossils. Some of the fossils are hinted at and blend with the background color and others are more visible. With the classic 12 x 24 size and the 8-1/2” Hexagon, the Arkistyle offers options that lend themselves to original installations and customized spaces. The color palette is carefully designed to calibrate the tones and soft graphic effect allowing for colors to be combined together and used with other collections.
The features of this collection are reflected in its name. Timeless: beautiful tiles that go beyond time and trends. From the aesthetic point of view, the color palette stands out for its neutral colors and subtle movement, allowing for harmonious combinations. From the technical point of view, Casalgrande has fine-tuned their technology for making full-body porcelain, and they manufacture a material with superior technical characteristics that withstand the test of time. This is a truly unglazed, technical porcelain, with all the graphic movement achieved by the pigments in the clay and no glaze on top.
Memorie takes us back to the artisan ceramic tradition with the historic 2.5x5 brick size and and a color palette that was painstakingly studied. The colors have nuanced shade variation that is enriched by the glossy crystalline glaze. The final look creates a mood where modern design confronts a taste for the vintage aesthetic which never goes out of style. The bisque is made by multiple molds that have some irregular edges and surface imperfections, and there is intentional shading and glazed details that give the material a handmade look and feel.
Arkiquartz offers a technologically advanced interpretation of the natural quartzite of Mediterreanean origin, the Kavala Stone. The origin stone is characterized by a pronounced 3-D surface with fissures and natural abrasions which add to the aesthetic. In their porcelain interpretation, Marca Corona has delivered the visual impact of that rough appearance, but with a surface texture that is surprisingly soft to the touch.
Multiforme is a collection inspired by the world of resins and cements. Its name refers to the versatility of this look as it can serve many purposes in a customer’s design. The four colors - white, light grey, soft blue and sage green - gently create a calming effect. The subtle variation and soft color palette make this an ideal choice for walls or floors, and allow it to coordinate with virtually any other tile.
We have added a Herringbone mosaic in Calacatta Gold natural.
We have added a Herringbone mosaic in Black natural.
We have added a 8-1/2” Hex in White natural..
Antique Lux is a new generation of marble-look porcelain. Gazzini always has a special approach with their marble looks and, with this line, they are taking advantage of exciting new technology to achieve a final product that truly looks and feels like real marble. The glazes are applied in a way that perfectly follows the surface structure, creating veins that you can feel as well as see. The special finish is made the same way as fully polished material, with polishing wheels that rub the surface, but without going as deep as with full polishing, creating an elegant satin finish. The finish also has technical advantages such as better resistance to scratching and no risk of microporosities. By the innovative combination of these two techniques, we have a marble look that is extremely natural to the touch as well as stunningly beautiful. The line comes in 6 colors that are familiar yet unique. Gazzini was inspired by real marble, and then they finessed the graphics and colors to make them even more attractive to market demands.
Inspired by nature, Geology is a porcelain recreation of slate in 3 colors with the wide shade variation that is characteristic of natural slate’s strong personality. Intended for exterior use, the R11 Grip surface offers the perfect combination of beauty, dependability and safety for outdoor pavements. As a high-fire porcelain product, it provides technical advantages such as strength, a high resistance to temperature variations, and resistance to stains, solvents, and cleaning products. It comes in two modular sizes can be used individually or combined together to create patterns.
T-Brick has another sibling in T-Box. The concept is simple - four of the most popular T-Brick colors are now available in a 5x5 square. As always with Sartoria, this is a line that is about intricate details that highlight the richness of traditional ceramic techniques, and they chose 5 x 5 for the square version because it harkens back to the historical zellije size. The colors have exquisite variation and the clay body provides an authentic handmade feel. Like the hand-crafted, traditional Moroccan tile that inspired this look, the bisque has an uneven surface texture with irregular edges and intentional imperfections. All colors have variation, but some colors have more dramatic movement than others. It is important to blend well during installation to get the intended final look.
Cementine-look porcelain decorative tiles reflect the strength of the traditional look while also celebrating a sense of contemporaneity. Sartoria’s Decorata is in 6 x 6 making it a little different from all the 8 x 8 decos out there, and giving it additional uses where the smaller size is more appropriate. It comes in 3 solid colors - white, grey and a very soft blue - that look like they have been slightly worn over time. The 4 deco patterns incorporate combinations of the 3 field colors, plus a sweet pink in one of the patterns (Decorata 2). It’s delicate and subtle and creates a final look that is charming and harmonious.
We have added a 24 x 48 size in Ivory and White colors.
Tint is the sister series to T-Brick, another line with the unparalleled beauty of Sartoria’s interpretation of “zellije” tile, but in the matte finish that people have been requesting. Sartoria is known for paying attention to details, and that is evident in Tint, from the size and shape of the bisque to the color palette to the rich variation. Like the hand-crafted, traditional Moroccan tile that inspired this look, the bisque has an uneven surface texture with irregular edges and intentional imperfections. All colors have variation, but some colors have more dramatic movement than others. It is important to blend well during installation to get the intended final look.
Windermere combines a gently undulated surface with exquisite glazes to create a final look that is opulent and full of depth. The 2 Whites - Glacier (Glossy) and Chalk (Matte) - are opaque and allow the surface structure to take center stage, creating a look that is more interesting than a flat white tile. The other 6 colors have translucent glazes that create variation as they pool on the surface and vary in shade from piece to piece. In addition to the 3x9 size, there is the Diamondback Mosaic made from oblong hexagonal pieces with a three dimensional surface; each piece has an off-centered point that creates lines and shading as the translucent glazes pool on the surface. The pieces are then mounted randomly to create the distinctive Diamondback pattern. They make a stunning accent but are even more exciting if used in entire areas.
With Materici, Sartoria is reclaiming the authentic beauty of traditional ceramic craftsmanship. The color palette and graphic details (shading around the edges, spit out marks and variation) along with the deliberate surface imperfections, harken back to ceramic techniques of the past and bring them into the present day. The rich glazes and color palette of new neutrals, a deep forest green and a mineral blue, all seem natural and add to the earthy feel of Materici. This is the kind of product that has staying power because, rather than following a popular but momentary trend, it is a celebration of the art of ceramic tile and that never goes out of style.
The Alaska series is an 8x24 wall tile with an intensely handcrafted look and feel. The palette is all about shades of white (glossy white, matte white, off-white and light grey) allowing the size and surface structure to become the focus. Please note that the Alaska is not completely flat, and the edges have rustic details which means they are uneven rather than level. This is intentional and adds to the handcrafted look. It also requires special attention during installation.
Marca Corona is expanding their impressive collection of marble looks with three stunning new marbles in the Foyer Royal series. The Cozy color is a warm, creamy sandstone look (the Turkish Marmo Mediterraneo), Delicate is a classic white marble (Italian Cremo Delicato) and Chic is a soft grey (the French Gris de Savoie) that is perfectly on-trend.
