UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / May 20, 2021 / With supersizing a trend still very much in demand, leading tile distributor Verona has captured the essence of this popular design movement, launching its new Grande collection.

Highly versatile, the new Grande collection from Verona takes surfaces to a whole new level, expertly combining natural stone effects veining with a supersized high-quality glazed porcelain for an open plan look and feel across floors.

Perfectly suited to any room from the kitchen to bathroom, hallway to conservatory, the Grande collection brings a sense of balance and proportion, opening up spaces with ease for a design scheme that allows the floor to flow from one room to the next.

Made from premium Italian porcelain, the beauty of these tiles not only lies in their striking design details and finish, but thanks to their oversized format grout lines are reduced for a high-end look that allows consumers to experiment with proportion and scale.

Incredibly hard-wearing withstanding everyday wear and tear, the tiles only require a light clean to keep them looking their best.

Katy Black, Marketing Director at Verona, explains: “Supersizing in interiors is very much of the moment, and gives homeowners the opportunity to create a feature that holds the whole room together. Oversized tiles offer less grout lines, creating the illusion of space even in small rooms. For a light and airy design we suggest soft beige or silver shades to bounce the light up from the floor, or for homeowners looking to connect indoor and outdoor spaces, a graphite concrete-effect will cover footprints and dirt for a practical option.”

The collection

The Grande collection offers eight different designs in a range of natural finishes and colour options. Three of the designs also include coordinating outdoor tiles, effortlessly connecting the indoors with the out.

Vienna Blanco features a decadent marble-effect pattern, teamed with a polished finish for a high-end look. This ultra-modern tile combines a simple colour palette with a subtle forking marble pattern. Available in 900x900x10.5mm format.

Frontera features a lappato, semi-polished finish. This tile is available in Graphite and Silver, making it well suited to those who enjoy the modern grey look. Frontera would work well in any space, teamed with matt black accents, minimalist furnishings and leafy botanicals. Available in 900x900x10.5mm format.

Allegra Pearl features a high shine polished finish, exuding designer appeal. Another very subtle marble-effect, this tile combines pearlescent details with a soft ivory colour palette, which makes it ideal for use in bathrooms to create the illusion of a warmer surface, drawing influence from spas and wellness retreats. Available in 900x900x10.5mm format.

Loft now boasts four stunning colourways, welcoming Taupe and Dark Grey alongside the existing White and Ash tones. Loft features a soft stone-effect with slightly oxidised edges, making it a good option for anyone who likes a more natural look. Available as 900x900x9mm indoor tiles and Taupe, Dark Grey and Ash are available in 898x898x20mm outdoor formats.

Connecting living spaces

The Loft range has also been designed for use outdoors to continue the look into the garden. The Loft designs are available as 20mm thick outdoor porcelain tiles, perfect for consumers with bifold doors and want to connect indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The Loft 20mm tiles have been purpose built to withstand British weather. Made from high quality porcelain, the tiles wont crack when exposed to freezing temperatures. This range is also algae and moss resistant without the need for additional treatment.

Plus, for extra safety underfoot, the 20mm Loft tiles have a slip rating of R11 making it one of the most practical choices for patios and paths. Fade resistant, outdoor porcelain will retain its good looks for years to come with no sealing or special maintenance needed and is easy to upkeep with just a brush and warm soapy water.

To support retailers with the new launch, Verona has created a series of stunning new lifestyle shots and a new display stand for customers, showcasing each of the new ranges, selling the message of minimal grout lines, maximum impact.
