In the second of our series of product feature articles exploring the Minoli ranges that offer both complementary interior tiles and exterior specification paving, we’re showcasing porcelain tiles that emulate the pebble patterns of the most sought-after sedimentary rock, as famed for its use in period and modern Milanese architecture.
While natural stone can often be seen as the most authentic solution for period buildings, traditional homes and new builds, in today’s house building and corporate construction markets, more savvy developers and designers are turning to porcelain tiles as the viable and desirable contender.
We’ve seen a renaissance in the specification of stone-effect surfaces from those seeking to fuse contemporary design with more classic environments. We’re also seeing designers experimenting with mixed surfaces from different but complementary ranges. The broader colour palettes available allow for new colour matching opportunities, so creating blended schemes or bold breakpoints that yield spaces with different atmospheres and stylistic accents.
Minoli Boost Mix
Boost Mix is inspired by the renowned Ceppo Di Grè stone from the north-western shores of Lake Iseo in Italy. Distinct and dynamic in design, Boost Mix comes in three mesmerising, modern shades ranging through warm and light, to dark and cool colourways.
Boost Mix is beautifully balanced to work with complementary products in the wider Boost Series, comprising Boost, Boost Stone, Boost Natural and now Boost Mix. This provides architects and designers with a comprehensive solution for finishing any type of internal or external space, whether residential or commercial.
With common or complementary colour palettes across the different ranges, Boost Mix allows for new tone-on-tone combinations and contrast with its vibrant and varied appearance. Beyond interior floors and walls, with such an extensive range of modular formats available, we’re seeing new architectural and exterior design applications.
In superior, technically advanced porcelain and with smooth and grip surfaces, designers are using this material for exterior facades, pool surrounds, patio paving, balconies, pathways and even outdoor kitchens and garden living spaces. Also available in extra-large format slabs, the Boost series is ideal for installation where a more continuous surface will enhance the end appearance.

Minoli Norway
The Norway range has a pleasing and playful, pebble-effect and is inspired by ornamental stones found around the lakes of Lombardy in Northern Italy. With such variety of shape and shading within the pronounced patterning, Norway brings interest and individuality to any environment.
The multi-toned tiles in the collection are now available in eight different creative colours spanning rich and warm tints through to cooler combinations. The latest designs include Norway Oken with warmer biscuity beige and brown tones, Hav which mixes pale blues with flinty features, and Grus which has the greys of graphite and gravel and flecks of oxidised iron.
The breadth and depth of the range has a wide a variety of formats which included standard tile sizes, large format slabs and decorative mosaics, different surface finishes and both indoor and outdoor specification products. Norway has established itself with housebuilders, developers, interior designers and architects as solution to so many surface requirements.
