Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from an ordinary series?

Every combination exists. Most ranges grow unevenly, so a popular color ends up with a mosaic and a bullnose while a quieter one is field tile only. Here all four colors carry all four product types, which means choosing a color has no consequence for what is available to finish the room with.

Are four formats enough?

For a tiled room, yes. A field tile covers the floor, a mosaic follows the fall of a shower pan, a base handles the junction where the floor meets the wall and a molding finishes the edge where tiling stops. That is the complete set of jobs in a bathroom, and having one piece for each is sufficient rather than limited.

What do the compass names mean?

They are a naming scheme rather than a description of a material, which suits a stone look not aimed at a particular quarry. What they do convey usefully is position on the warm and cool axis: East Beige is the warm one, North White and South Grey are cool, West Black is the dark end. On a neutral range that is the decision that matters.

Why only one finish?

Because the range is built to be used as a set. A single matte finish means the field tile, the base and the mosaic all return light the same way, so a room done inside the series reads as one surface turning corners. Offering a polished field tile against a matte base would undo that.

Why does one thickness matter so much?

Because the series includes a base and a mosaic. A base at a different depth from its field tile leaves a step running the full perimeter of the room, and a mosaic at a different depth leaves one at the curb of the shower. Everything here is 9 mm, so those two joins resolve themselves.

What a matrix range solves

Most series grow unevenly. A popular color gets a mosaic and a bullnose while a quieter one is left as field tile only, and the gap shows up when somebody picks the quieter color.

Here there is no gap. Any of the four colors can carry a whole bathroom, because the mosaic for the pan, the base for the wall junction and the trim for the edge all exist in every one of them. The choice of color has no consequence for what is available.

The four formats and what each does

12x24 is the field tile, 12x12 the mosaic sheet, 6x12 the base and 3x24 the molding.

That is the minimum complete set for a tiled room: something to cover the floor, something to follow the fall of a shower pan, something where the floor meets the wall and something where the tiling stops. Four pieces per color is not a small range, it is a sufficient one.

Compass points as color names

East Beige, North White, South Grey and West Black are warm, cool, cool and dark in that order, which is roughly how the names would suggest.

It is a naming scheme rather than a description of a material, consistent with a stone look range that is not pointing at a specific quarry. What the names do give is a clear position on the warm and cool axis, which on a neutral range is the decision that actually matters.

Matte, throughout

Every piece in this range is matte, with no polished or textured alternative offered.

On a range this tightly built that is consistent rather than limiting. A single finish means the field tile, the base and the mosaic all return light the same way, so a bathroom done inside the series reads as one surface turning corners rather than as four products from one family.

9 mm, and why that matters here

All sixteen pieces are 9 mm, the ordinary interior floor thickness.

In a series that includes a base and a mosaic, one thickness is what makes the set work. A base at a different depth from its field tile leaves a step along the whole perimeter of the room, and a mosaic at a different depth leaves one at the curb of a shower.

Stone look, without a stone

Every piece in this range carries a stone look effect, and like the color names it is not pointing at a particular quarry.

What that gives up is the chance to be recognizably a Carrara or a travertine. What it gains is that nothing can be compared against an original and found short, and that a floor reads as an even neutral surface rather than as an imitation of something specific. On a four color grid that consistency is the whole design.

Where a short complete range is right

A rental, a flip, a development of several units, a commercial interior and any bathroom that has to be specified quickly and completely.

Porcelain tile is the material across every effect, and porcelain moldings the trim across every series.
