Grey sandstone: a wise choice

The grey tile is a classic yet modern colour that easily lends itself to a number of interpretations. Its chromatic intensity varies subtly from light to dark grey, and its most subtle nuances are destined to sublimate our indoor and outdoor spaces. Grey tiles therefore have everything to please and are in with the times. What’s more, grey porcelain stoneware tiles don’t make dirt stand out, but on the contrary, hide it. This makes it a firm favourite as a floor covering. Since it is suitable for so many uses, indoors or out, all your environments can take on a soothing, trendy appearance and grey porcelain stoneware thus offers the possibility of achieving aesthetic continuity between indoors and outdoors.

There are a multitude of aesthetic effects that grey porcelain stoneware tiles reproduce. Some collections are inspired by natural materials such as stone or wood, while others are inspired by modern materials such as concrete or metal. Novoceram cares about every detail when making its products, which is why the replication of these materials is meticulously precise.

In particular, grey tiles reproduce the aesthetic appearance of natural stone and reflect its nobility and authenticity with impressive realism. The surface of grey stoneware therefore displays the unique characteristics of stone, such as its asperities, veins and refined shades that range from the lightest to the darkest greys. Of course, this faithful replica is made possible by technological advances and contains all the ancestral charm of this elegant and highly distinctive material.

Like stone, wood is also a source of inspiration for the grey porcelain stoneware tile collections. It is therefore possible to opt for imitation parquet tiles that warm up the atmosphere and succeed in inviting nature even into interior spaces. Wood-effect tiles are also available in grey tones, giving life to a contemporary, uncluttered decor. Here, however, the modernity is offset by the aesthetic appearance of wood, which the grey tiles manage to replicate extremely realistically.

Then grey porcelain stoneware can also take on the look of concrete for a trendy, urban result. Concrete-effect tiles add a contemporary, refined touch to the spaces they cover. Grey imitation concrete tiles can be easily combined with all types of décor to create an industrial or workshop style atmosphere. The sober shades of grey porcelain stoneware tiles delicately underline the character of design environments. To keep with the modern theme, you can also choose a design-effect tile that adapts to any setting. Shades of grey create an innovative ambience worthy of refined, streamlined interiors.

Finally, grey sandstone is available in metal effect tiles collections that mix particularly well with contemporary spaces, characterised by American ‘loft’ accents. The lighter and darker shades of grey ensure an industrial ambience that exceeds all expectations, not least thanks to the many reflections that light delicately reveals. On the other hand, for fans of a more traditional, warm decor, terracotta-effect tiles also feature grey tones that counterbalance the classic character of this material.

Grey porcelain stoneware tiles, halfway between bright white and deep black, are a trendy colour and their different tones give a certain refined edge to spaces.

The neutral, sophisticated tones of grey sandstone are easy to combine with other colours. Each colour combination creates a unique, well-defined ambience. So there’s no doubting the all-purpose nature of grey tiles! To avoid ending up with a sometimes drab interior, an effective solution is to combine it with other colours, both soft and bright. For example, grey porcelain stoneware tiles can be mixed with powdery shades, such as old rose, to bring a romantic decor to life, or with bright colours like red, which in this case defines a more urban ambience.

For fans of modern, streamlined decorating, combining grey with black or white creates a timeless, modern setting that will always be on trend. This option is particularly recommended for industrial or contemporary styles, where every decorative element is enhanced by the sober, elegant colours of grey porcelain stoneware. These numerous examples show that grey porcelain stoneware tiles can be adapted to suit any room, and therefore meet a wide range of aesthetic requirements.

Although grey tiles have an infinite number of reflections, each one has a soothing appearance that helps to form a personalised environment while bringing a touch of serenity and calm.

Grey tiles meet the criteria of many intended uses insofar as they are made from porcelain stoneware. This material has a myriad of advantages that make it suitable for both wall and floor installations, as well as outdoor and indoor spaces. As a result, aesthetic harmony can be achieved within a single room and between indoor and outdoor environments.

Grey porcelain stoneware tiles are ideal for a wide range of uses. This is particularly true of bathrooms and kitchens, which have a higher level of humidity than the rest of the house. Here, grey porcelain stoneware is the ideal solution thanks to its high resistance to water and steam. It can therefore also be laid in swimming pools without any risk, provided you choose the right anti-slip properties. This means your walls and floors can sport the soothing, modern tones of grey without the appearance of grey tiles deteriorating under the effect of damp. For example, for a very fashionable result, grey stoneware can be laid over your kitchen splashback, which it will protect from splashes when cooking.

Another advantage of grey porcelain stoneware tiles is that they don’t degrade due to wear and tear and are therefore highly resistant to scratches. This means that its reflections remain intact, even in places where there is a lot of foot traffic. In our homes, this can be the case in the living room, which is often the main reception area. But there’s no need to worry about grey porcelain stoneware, which continues to reveal its shades over time.

The dimensions of grey stoneware play an important role from a decorative point of view and the final decision is therefore very important. Novoceram has developed a wide range of formats to enhance any space, whatever its size. These include:

• Small format grey tiles including 20×20 cm, 30×30 cm. These sizes even include 5×5 cm, which evokes the classic shape of mosaics and lends itself particularly well to wall mounting to boost decoration. These formats have been brought up to date thanks to the many aesthetic effects that grey porcelain stoneware tiles reproduce, and between the stone effect and the concrete effect, an elegant result is guaranteed!
• Grey porcelain stoneware in medium format, which is the perfect compromise between large and small formats. These so-called ‘standard’ sizes, such as 45×45 cm, are ideal for those who are undecided, because they can be adapted to any space. For example, the 60×60 grey tiles enhance any room without overloading it.

Large format grey tiles that include 80×80 cm or even 90×90 cm. These sizes are mainly intended for large rooms, simply because they increase the feeling of space. The large size of the tiles and the reduced number of joints make them feel lighter. In the same vein, rectangular grey stoneware seems to be another interesting option, and can even be used to create graphic and geometric effects when combined with other sizes in the same room.
