Connected Living – Inside & Out | Microfine Finishes

New manufacturing methods allow for ever-more sophisticated surfaces to be realised as demonstrated in the latest ranges that feature microfine finishes. With matt, grip, brushed and subtly structured surfaces, these sublimely soft-textured tiles have such density and depth of colour and bring a serene solidity to the most contemporary and technical designs.

Whilst at first perceived as quite plain in appearance, there’s an exquisite and evolving complexity within these porcelain collections. Comprising layers of muted, pastel-like shades of grey, beige, taupe and brown, the surfaces created present a cross between powder coating and resin with gentle brushstrokes and mottled markings. Used to great effect on walls or floors, these delicately detailed tiles create a blended backdrop against which to showcase other standout artworks, ornaments, furnishings and fabrics.

With matched sizes for interior tiles and exterior pavers, a wide variety of formats and surface treatments, plus some of the most unique and imaginative mosaic and decor products, these microfine finished ranges provide comprehensive collections with which to complete all manner of interior, exterior and integrated architectural designs.

Boost

The Boost Series is one of the most technologically advanced collections on the market comprising concrete, clay and stone effect finishes. Boost is beautifully balanced to work with complementary products in the wider Boost Series, comprising Boost Stone, Boost Natural and Boost Mix. This provides architects and designers with a flexible solution for finishing any type of internal or external space, whether residential or commercial.

The versatility of Boost is born out in the breadth of finishes, variety of sizes from standard tiles to expansive slabs, and the wide range of colours and designs. There are nine concrete-effect base tiles ranging from ivory and cream through to tobacco and tarmac, as well as three with more pronounced patterning resembling distressed paint, silver birch bark and banana tree leaves.

Further details and technical specifications for the Boost series can be found on our website here.

Clay

The Minoli Clay series has been purposefully produced with professional designers and architects front of mind. When you look at the mellow chromatic spectrum with hints of mushroom and mink, steel and slate, the refined smooth surfaces and the variety of scale with 20/80 planks, sizeable 160/160 squares and extra-large 120/278 slabs, you can see how the collection represents a holistic system of surfaces.

From a professional designer’s perspective, the Clay collection also enables them to use seamless sections of superfine porcelain to create a canvas for other decorative materials, furnishing and fixtures. Alongside the more subtle and subdued standard tiles, delightfully detailed decor tiles and mosaics provide further opportunities to form feature areas and introduce tactile textures.
