Casalgrande Padana has launched Concept, a new porcelain stoneware tile collection with a modern character, in which the patterns are highlighted and enhanced by distinctive material details.

Offering a nod to the metropolitan style that has influenced architecture and interior design in recent years, the Concept collection is characterised by neutral shades with subtle dashes of colour and soft, cloudy effects.

The range is available in seven shades: Concept Black, Blue, Green, Greige, Grey, White and Red. The collection includes a 23.5×20.5 cm hexagonal tile, as well as tiles with a thickness of 9 mm in the sizes 20×20 cm and 30×30 cm with an R10 natural finish, able to combine a superbly pleasant tactile sensation with the technical characteristics required by the world of international design. The tiles in the sizes 30×60 cm and 60×60 cm have an R10 natural or anti-slip bush-hammered surfaces, while the 60×120 cm size is available with R10 natural, satin and anti-slip surfaces, and the 120×120 size comes in an R10 natural and satin finish.

Lastly, in the colours Black and Grey and in the sizes 60×120 cm and 60×60 cm, Concept comes in a thickness of 20 mm with an anti-slip surface for use outdoors. The tiles can either be laid directly on turf, sand or gravel to create flooring that can be walked on immediately, or glued on screed or raised supports to allow for the installation of electrical and plumbing systems. The range is completed with a 20×20 cm decorative element featuring low-relief abstract geometric patterns, a 30×30 cm mosaic tile with 5×5 cm or 5×15 cm tesserae and a ribbed decorative element in the 60×120 cm size, available in all collection colours.

The balanced design allows this porcelain stoneware collection to bring a touch of elegance to hospitality spaces, shaping an inviting, original, exclusive or more casual atmosphere. By creating a modern, decorative effect, surfaces flow smoothly for realistic, elegant floor and wall coverings designed to embellish loft apartments or open-plan settings with an exquisitely metropolitan or urban chic allure and a modern, minimalist design.

Concept guarantees high standards in terms of durability, maintaining its aesthetic and functional characteristics intact over time, making it suitable for the most challenging design applications. The excellent technical performance offers designers an impressive range of creative options, allowing for customised application solutions for various types of projects, ranging from residential buildings to large commercial surfaces, as well as public buildings, urban furnishings and the restoration and adaptive reuse of existing constructions.

As with all Casalgrande Padana porcelain stoneware collections, Concept is composed of natural raw materials, making the tiles eco-compatible, ecological, fire-resistant, non-absorbent, antibacterial and self-cleaning thanks to the Bios Ceramics technology. They are also easy to lay and to clean.
