In the last of our series exploring the Outdoor By Minoli collection of in-stock exterior use porcelain paving, today we’re showcasing those with concrete and marble-effect designs.
The latest generation of porcelain tiles that capture the look of concrete offer soft, subtle surface reliefs and a superfine composition. Regarded as more sophisticated and sought after in recent years, we’re quite familiar with the look of cast, poured or rendered surfaces in both interior and exterior settings.
Porcelain tiles that have a concrete-like appearance can aptly fulfil the brief for an industrial, urban or minimalist design direction but also provide a more versatile solution through their different sizes, surface treatments, colour palettes and coordinating decor tiles.
With their stripped-back finishes and light patterning, within these ranges there are perfect interior and exterior matches in selected colours, but they also allow for tints and tones to be mixed to complement or contrast, on wall and floors, inside and outdoors.
State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques also provide unprecedented opportunities in the production of marble-effect porcelain tiles. The leading producers in Italian ceramics are using higher definition graphics, transparent layering and new surface treatments to reproduce marble in porcelain with remarkable realism.
Such is the demand for exterior specification products that marble-effect ranges are now available in 20 mm thickness with slip-resistant surfaces and frost-proof properties. This allows for design schemes to flow flawlessly through bi-fold doors and picture windows onto patios and paved areas.
The concrete-effect series of outdoor porcelain paving that Minoli hold in plentiful UK stock, ready for prompt delivery from our Oxford warehouse include:
Glocal Perfect
Glocal has the cool and contemporary look of hand-rendered concrete and, whilst the outdoor surface is structured, it has interesting irregularities without being rough to the touch. This is a truly versatile product that delivers blended backdrops for outdoor furniture, fixtures, fittings and foliage.
Flux Bone & Concrete
Flux brings an industrial and contemporary character to any outdoor area and with a structured but soft, suede-like surface, Flux feels flawless underfoot. Flux is often specified by designers and developers looking to bring an urban aesthetic with a product that offers value beyond compare.
Boost White & Clay
This premium, porcelain product allows you to bring a sense of indulgent, urban luxury and a modern, technical aesthetic, using the latest manufacturing methods. With an extensive array of coordinating indoor variants, Boost is one of our most desirable collections of high-performance porcelain and enables near-seamless transitions from inside to outdoors.
Marvel Fior Di Bosco
The Marvel Series is inspired by the most contemporary marble and designed with the closest attention to detail. The Fior Di Bosco design features an innovative new Hammered finish which reproduces a surface that has been beaten and brushed for a tactile and textural effect, with glistening gold and striking white veining across a stormy, smoky background.
Beyond this extensive UK stockholding, such is the traction of the trend for optimising outdoor spaces, many other different Outdoor product designs are available to order with very reasonable lead times from the production plant in Italy.
