Italian porcelain stoneware surfaces: stone tiles in technical ceramic
Italian porcelain stoneware tiles for design-driven homes and hospitality. Made in Italy and curated for the US and Canadian markets, our collections deliver architectural surfaces with depth of color, crisp geometry and a quiet, luxurious tactility—equally at home in primary residences, boutique hotels, wellness spaces and refined workplaces.
Each line is engineered for real living: dense, low-porosity bodies, disciplined edges and contemporary textures that read like stone, terrazzo or wood while remaining easy to maintain. Floors and wall coverings can be coordinated across rooms to create a continuous visual narrative with carefully balanced grout lines and profiles.
For architects and designers, specification is straightforward. We provide material guidance, samples for client approval, cut sheets and installation notes; slip-resistance and performance data are available on request to support permit and review. Our team can also advise on layout, grout pairing and edge details to preserve that calm, gallery-level finish over time.

Frequently Asked Questions — Italian porcelain stoneware tiles
What truly sets Italian porcelain stoneware apart for luxury projects?
Design discipline and material integrity. Italian porcelain combines through-body or color-body compositions with rectified edges, rich surface inks and micro-textures developed alongside leading designers. The result is an architectural, low-maintenance surface that reads as stone, wood or terrazzo—without the fragility.
Will these tiles meet US & Canadian performance and slip-resistance targets?
Yes. We supply tiles tested to North-American standards (including DCOF per ANSI A326.3 for interior wet areas) and frost-resistant bodies for freeze-thaw climates. Project submittals—test reports, EPD/HPD where available, and installation guides—are provided for permit and spec review.
How do I choose finishes (matte, honed, polished, structured) by application?
For primary floors and baths, select matte or structured textures to balance slip safety and cleanability; polished and lappato surfaces shine on walls, powder rooms and low-splash zones. For hospitality kitchens and entries, prioritize textures with proven wet traction while keeping grout joints disciplined and easy to maintain.
Large-format & slabs: what should I plan for substrate, joints and lippage control?
Rectified tiles enable tight, elegant joints; a very flat substrate and professional leveling systems keep lines razor-clean. We recommend color-matched grouts (cement or epoxy by area) and movement joints at perimeters/thresholds per industry guidelines to preserve the monolithic read over time.
Are Italian porcelain tiles compatible with radiant heating?
Perfectly. Porcelain’s thermal conductivity makes it ideal for hydronic or electric radiant floors. Use adhesives and underlayments rated for heated substrates, respect expansion joints, and coordinate control curves to avoid thermal shock during commissioning.
Outdoor terraces and pool decks in freeze-thaw climates—what do you recommend?
Choose frost-resistant porcelain with suitable traction, plan positive drainage and specify either 2 cm pavers on pedestals or bonded installations with exterior-grade setting materials. We supply trims, copings and mosaics to complete stairs, edges and waterlines with a continuous aesthetic.
Sustainability & care: what should clients expect long-term?
Porcelain is inert, low-VOC and highly recyclable at end of life; many lines offer EPD/HPD documentation. Routine care is simple: pH-neutral cleaners and soft pads. Most matte surfaces need no sealer; polished finishes may benefit from a pre-grout protector to ease maintenance.
