Porcelain Concrete Wall Tiles

Porcelain concrete wall tiles

Porcelain concrete wall tiles are specifically designed to celebrate the raw beauty of this urban material. Rooted in the Brutalist architectural movement, the use of concrete in interior design has long been a go-to for those seeking to create industrial style interiors in raw, earthy tones. Bringing the perfect blend of contemporary styling and raw, earthy tones, porcelain concrete wall tiles are superbly practical whilst adding a minimalist vibe to spaces.

A great choice for both residential and commercial spaces, porcelain concrete wall tiles can work just about anywhere from the office to the lounge. Because porcelain is such a hardwearing material with brilliant durability and high-water resistance you can use concrete wall tiles in the bathroom, kitchen, hallway and more.

What are porcelain concrete wall tiles?

Porcelain concrete wall tiles are crafted to replicate the raw, industrial look and feel of concrete coupled with all the benefits porcelain tiles bring and that includes high scratch, stain and fade resistance as well as ease of cleaning. At one end of the spectrum, you will find concrete wall tiles that are elegantly designed with minimal movement and a refined look. You will also find porcelain tiles that beautifully convey the salting and cracking typical of concrete and a more rugged appearance.

Why would you choose porcelain concrete wall tiles?

There are so many great reasons to opt for porcelain concrete wall tiles.

Exceptional durability that lasts. Concrete is known for its longevity and porcelain is no different. Porcelain tiles are highly resistant to water, wear, tear, stains and this material is also fade resistant so can easily be used outside as well as inside.

Moisture resistance. Porcelain tiles are non-porous making them ideal for busy bathrooms and kitchen splashbacks.

Exceptional design. Porcelain tiles are great at mimicking other materials for example limestone, stone, terrazzo, cement, marble, wood and more. Great quality porcelain tiles do this to exceptionally high standards so a concrete effect wall tile is not only designed to look like concrete, with innovative tile finishes and textures they can feel like concrete.

Colour palettes. Another great benefit of porcelain is the range of colours many tiles are available in – there are collections that house concrete effect wall tiles in lighter, warmer colours including sands, taupes and toffees all of which are perfect for today’s contemporary interiors that demand cosy tones. So concrete effect tiles don’t have to just stay grey.

Versatility. Concrete wall tiles in porcelain can be used both inside and outside the home making them ideal for feature walls. Their resistance to water and weather makes them an ideal choice as a backdrop in the garden.

Low maintenance. Porcelain tiles are very low maintenance, in fact a quick sweep and a mop with warm water will usually do the trick.

Design Tips

Mix and match. Many porcelain tile collections are available in different colours allowing you to mix two colours from the same collection with ease – think one colour for the floor and another for the wall or just like you might paint a feature wall in another colour you can opt to do the same with porcelain tiles. The beauty here is that you will keep the same design aesthetic but add interest through colour.
Pair up. Concrete wall tiles with marbles and woods are a match made in interior heaven and will soften that industrial feel.
More tile, less grout. The perfect approach for those looking for seamless design, opting for larger format tiles means you have minimal grout joints and that brings a modern aesthetic.
Think about lighting. With tile textures playing a key role in interior design highlighting the tile surface finish is a brilliant way to elevate your design and add interest to spaces.

Care and Maintenance

Porcelain concrete wall tiles are very easy to care for. No sealing is required at all and a regular sweep and a mop and warm water will usually do the trick. You can use a solution specially formulated for porcelain tiles once in a while too to keep them looking as good as new.

To sum up

Porcelain concrete wall tiles tap right into the trend for that urban industrial vibe – but actually this is more than a trend, it is a design aesthetic that has endured and porcelain tiles have add to this with continuous innovation in design, surface finish and adaptable colour palettes. Whether it’s warehouse style urban design or contemporary minimalist interiors you will find porcelain concrete wall tiles to suit.
