Collections inspired by quartzite fuse the varied veining of marble with the glistening graining of granite. The spectrum of colours and finishes available across these collections is remarkable and distinctive.
Spanning cool, calming creams and greys with soft and structured surfaces, through warmer tan and biscuit tones with fiery, ferrous flecks, to rugged reflections of raw rock with striations and crystalline inclusions.

RANGE OVERVIEW
Norde is inspired by natural quartzite stones that, through a varied mineral composition, feature colour change and movement as light plays across their structured surfaces. These are truly technically advanced porcelain tiles, with particular product strengths being the detailed graphics, varied shades, rich colours and the authentic interpretation of the original material.
With Matt / Natural and Grip / Textured finishes, and specific 20 mm formats for use outdoors, all variants are distinguished by a surface that feels lightly hammered to the touch, which is still very comfortable underfoot but reinforces the effect of traditional quarried stone.
COLOURS AND DESIGNS
This series includes four beautifully layered colourways that bring a delightful and discernible depth to interior and exterior installations:
- Magnesio – With a warm ivory base with flecks of gold and pale pewter patterning.
- Platino – A bright, light grey with flashes of silver and smoky streaks.
- Oro – Warm and sandy, with interesting inclusions of ochre and ash.
- Piombo – A darker grey palette, brushed with natural brown and charcoal markings.
