Porcelain Tiles

Porcelain stoneware is a material known for its strength and durability. Porcelain tiles are perfect for floors and walls but also for creating functional and aesthetically striking furniture pieces that give a surprisingly unique character to each project.

The Properties of Porcelain Tiles

A porcelain tile surface does not stain, does not retain dirt, and withstands everyday wear and tear. Porcelain stoneware is easy to clean and is perfect for everyday living. It does not require special treatments, waxes, or polishes, and is resistant to sunlight, acids, and chemical detergents, making it ideal not only for home but also for commercial areas like shop floors, and high traffic areas such as subways, stations, and airports.

Porcelain tiles are the perfect choice for personalised projects that need long lasting durability.

Porcelain Tiles: Effects

Atlas Concorde offers a wide range of porcelain floor and wall tiles that allow you to create contemporary and elegant spaces. Marble-effect tiles and concrete-effect tiles are amongst the most sought-after solutions in the Atlas Concorde collection. Marvel World and Boost World projects incorporate all the possibilities of these finishes.

The first Atlas Concorde capsule - Marvel World - contains marble-effect porcelain tiles with veins, colours and patterns that are identical to natural stone, providing designers with many creative solutions. Atlas Concorde Boost World, on the other hand, is the go-to style project for stone effect, raw-earth look and concrete-effect porcelain tiles.

As well as marble and concrete, the Atlas Concorde collections go even further and provide wood and metal effect porcelain tiles. The wood effect is available in a number of styles and is inspired by the distinctive designs and colours present in nature. It ranges from grey wood effect porcelain tiles to the more traditional oak wood effect tiles. The metal effect, on the other hand, is very contemporary and shows its full potential in industrial and urban spaces, as well as being ideal for commercial spaces.

Atlas Concorde porcelain floor tiles are the ideal choice for those looking for elegant and sophisticated solutions and are perfect for any type of project.

Porcelain Tiles: Colours

Porcelain tiles are made of a high-quality material that offers unparalleled versatility. With a wide range of tile colours, effects, and patterns, they are an excellent choice for projects that require a high level of personalisation. Choosing coloured porcelain slabs means opting for a high-quality material which combines practicality, durability, and design to create projects that satisfy all creative and functional needs.

Beige porcelain tiles display one of the most refined shades of colour: neutral, bright, and elegant, they match any furnishing style, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Grey porcelain tiles, on the other hand, are suitable for spaces with a strong contemporary character, and are ideal for urban style interiors. For more traditional aesthetics, floors with white porcelain tiles are to be considered, especially in spaces that need a lot of light. Porcelain tiles with a light wood effect can also be used to lighten up an ambiance, thanks to their warm tones and suitability for modern and Nordic-inspired projects.

A new solution is represented by the blue porcelain floor tile, ideal for modern designs and for sophisticated bathrooms. Another style inspiration is to cover the main wall of a living space, mixing stone effect porcelain slabs of various sizes and shades, thus building an accent element within the ambiance. Large stone-effect porcelain tiles can be used to cover the entire bathroom seamlessly, with no joints, to create an encompassing sense of well-being. Elements of different sizes and assorted colours can also be inserted on the wall behind the bathroom fixtures or the shower, in order to add a dynamic appeal to the design arrangement.

Porcelain Tiles: Unique Spaces

Unique spaces design can be enabled by porcelain tiles, thanks to their aesthetic appeal. Over 30 collections encompassing selected colours, patterns and effects enhance any indoor and outdoor space as well as retail or hospitality areas. For the bathroom, Atlas Concorde has developed the Habitat project, which inspires porcelain tile furnishing elements such as washbasins, counter tops and shelves: a bathroom furniture design solution that is perfect for spaces that love harmony and stylish choices.

Habitat makes it possible to design a bathroom with marble-look porcelain tiles or a restroom with wood effect porcelain slabs without being limited to the floor — that same porcelain effect can be used as a covering for other items of furniture. Additionally, thanks to the Sensitech technology patented by Atlas Concorde, porcelain stoneware guarantees greater hygiene and safety plus a wonderful tactile feel, making it a perfect material for the bathroom.

For the kitchen, on the other hand, Atlas Concorde recommends the Atlas Plan brand, where porcelain tiles are conceived as a material for counter tops, workspaces, and the walls behind the hob. In the bedroom and living room, porcelain slabs are the ideal choice for personalised projects that ensure extreme comfort and functionality. The same applies to outdoor spaces and swimming pools, areas where porcelain tiles guarantee performance, aesthetics, and safety.

Choosing porcelain stoneware by Atlas Concorde means choosing a high-quality material that combines practicality, durability, and design, to create unique and distinctive projects which satisfy the most demanding and sophisticated needs.

  1. Remove dirt and dust with a brush or dry cloth.

  2. Mix a mild detergent in a bucket of water.

  3. Use a clean mop, squeezing it well to avoid leaving too much water on the surface.

  6. Allow the surface to dry completely before walking on it or putting any furniture back on it.

08

What is the thickness of porcelain tile?

Porcelain tiles are usually between 6 and 10 mm thick. However, they are also available with larger thicknesses, such as those used for outdoor floors or raised floors, which can have a depth of up to 20 mm.

09

What is the correct way to lay porcelain tiles?

The correct direction to lay porcelain tiles depends on the configuration of the room and the desired aesthetic effect. In general, it is recommended to lay the tiles parallel to the main light source, so that the surface reflects the light and creates a more natural ambience.

The direction of the tiles can also be picked based on the desire to create a certain optical effect in the room.

In order to achieve an effect of length in the room, we recommend laying the tiles parallel to the length of the room. Conversely, to optically widen the space, the tiles should be laid parallel to the width of the room. If the room has an irregular configuration, we advise laying the tiles parallel to the longest or most important wall of the room.

In any case, it is always important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the placement of tiles to ensure proper and durable laying.
