to visually lengthen rooms.
Team this with the luscious
flowing lines of the structured
decoration; it’s sure to make

Maxxi Bluestone is Bluestone
to the max! I want you to
squint at this picture and
imagine incredible sparkle and
reflection of the lappato but
also diving into the depth of the
design as if the slab was real
stone. It’s sophisticated; while
coordinating well with a minimal
scheme.
montage
20 Montage items were
released in the last edition of
MNews. These stunning lineal
mosaics are the final 2 items.
The 450 x 900mm size has a
mighty impact, as it replicates a
hefty slab of stone. We are now

size as this is a size that is in
demand.
The range comes in 3 different
finishes; all glass, all stone and
stone and glass combinations.

Whisper is like a breath settling
over a tile. Cloudy wisps that
convey a classic design.
Who would have thought
that thinner tiles could have
so much impact? Our other
Rectified 300 x 600mm wall
tiles are all 10mm thick.
Environmentally there are quite
a few benefits, for example:
less weight in shipping
container, and using fewer raw
materials for same result.
These 8mm wall tiles have
many advantages on a
practical level. It matches the
thickness of the majority of wall
decoration; which means laying
them with decoration is so
much easier!
They are gloss or satin ceramic
wall tiles with rectified edges.
They come in white and also
ivory gloss.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, WOW!
How much character can you fit
into one series?
It has a becomingly witty
personality and bold imperfect
beauty.
The design of timber packaging
is nothing short of ingenious.
We’ve seen ink jet used to
replicate styles that are worn,
aged and raw, but not anything
recycled! It’s been revived and
has far exceeded its former life
as pallets or packaging boxes!
The body tile is gorgeous, a
spectacular aged timber that
takes full advantage of digital
inkjet technology with 57
different faces! Far out!
Astilla has a glorious array of
colours that needs to be laid
randomly. It now comes in
2 colourways: Elm, and the
previously released Oak. The
plank size of 150 x 900mm
is the finishing touch to make
absolutely sure we believe the
timber illusion.
It is a rectified glazed porcelain
tile with a wear rating of 4. The
textured version achieves a slip
resistance of R11.
