Explore our latest concrete floor tiles with us and find out more about how the concrete effect is, and has remained one of the leading design trends. Taking inspiration from all things contemporary and brutalist, concrete effect tiles have developed over the past few years with designs and finishes that embody this urban material with everything from porcelain tiles that echo with the salts and spatters of concrete to more refined tiles that are mimicking micro-cement.
Concrete floor tiles are a cornerstone of contemporary interiors with porcelain tile size, colour and finish all hugely impacting the overall look and feel of spaces. With porcelain tile formats ever increasing and larger tiles becoming the go-to for rooms across the home, concrete floor tiles are making their way into our homes in 800 x 800, 900 x 900 and even larger formats. And with tile finishes developing continuously, concrete floor tiles now mimic this material with even greater accuracy. So let’s take a look at some of our latest concrete floor tiles and how they can transform your space.
We’ve included some of our cement floor tiles in this blog too as they are also perfect for creating contemporary floors and walls.
Concrete floor tiles in porcelain are an ideal floor and wall material, particularly for modern new builds and contemporary makeovers, and for two key reasons. Firstly, porcelain tiles are highly versatile. This hardwearing material is highly durable, water resistant, scratch resistant and stain resistant. Porcelain tiles can be used inside and outside the home and on walls and floors across the home.
Secondly, porcelain tile design and finishes have come on leaps and bounds over the past few years with pattern and surface texture aligning to deliver tiles that are more realistic than ever before. So this is a material that is not only beautiful to look at but also highly practical.
One of the big advantages of porcelain tiles is the plethora of colours they are available in. With earthy, natural tones making their way into our homes and a shift to all things nature inspired, there is a growing demand for concrete tiles in the muted tones of clays, sands, ecru and off-whites. Take our Blend collection – a tile offer in a sublime range of down-to-earth hues that ticks all the boxes. These calming neutrals work so well with natural materials making it easy to create restful interiors.
Texture is crucial to great interior design and with tile design and texture aligning in the latest designs there are concrete effect tiles that have the finest of textures to mimic micro-cements as well as rougher hewn surfaces that are echoing with the salt spatters of rough hewn concretes – see our Tone and Docklands collections – both concrete effect tiles with very different surface finishes.
These tactile surface finishes not only add to the look of a tile, they can also add depth to your interior design. Texture should be regarded both from an aesthetic perspective as well as a practical perspective with matt finishes in R10 A+B slip ratings better for areas where water may present ie kitchens and bathrooms, or higher slip ratings for wet rooms and external areas.

Large format tiles are fast becoming the go-to for home owners seeking a “more tile, less grout” approach. Their expansive look means grout lines are at a minimum and just a few mm thick. Larger tiles make for a lovely contemporary look and feel and by co-ordinating grout colour to tile colour can make for a seamless look and feel. Take a look at our Nest tile collection in 1m x 1m format. These large format tiles are in three tones including a beautiful Taupe tone alongside the lighter shades of Bone and Sand.
As well as opting for the latest concrete floor tiles for inside the home, collections can also include outside co-ordinating tiles in the same look and feel and with an Antislip finish for external areas. Opting for an inside outside tile collection brings cohesion to your design with the same look and feel across both home and garden allowing you to link lounge to lawn in style. Opting for tiles in the same size and same design adds to a feeling of flow across both spaces helping to unite spaces and with bi fold and folding door systems sporting minimal thresholds, flooring is one of the key elements to unify these spaces. Porcelain is one of the few materials that can be used inside and outside the home with ease.
The latest concrete floor tiles are perfect for creating a modern canvas for spaces. Large formats, rectified ie straight tile edges, minimal grout joints and the latest surface finishes all add to the beauty of porcelain concrete floor tiles making them a brilliant option for contemporary spaces large and small.
