Casalgrande Padana Atelier: delicate vibrations of porcelain stoneware colour
Colour takes centre stage with Atelier, the new porcelain stoneware tile collection that completes and complements the vast Casalgrande Padana range.
The Atelier collection consists of large-format monolith tiles (from 40x120 cm to 60x120 cm and from 120x120 cm to 120x278 cm) that are only 6.5 mm thick. The palette includes 8 monochrome colours (Brume, Cristallo, Lavanda, Fiordaliso, Indaco, Rubino, and Oltremare). The 30x30 mosaic tiles, with 5x5 and 5x15 cm pieces, complete the range. The Casalgrande Padana Atelier collection brings an original and elegant touch to any room with its sophisticated play of light and colour contrasts.
Atelier is a kaleidoscope of pastel porcelain stoneware tiles created to complement the cement-effect, wood-effect, marble-effect, metal-effect or stone-effect collections. They are perfect for large vertical, sloping, or curved surfaces, for an entire wall, or even just a portion of it in domestic and public spaces.
A modern and versatile collection of porcelain stoneware tiles that embodies the expressive possibilities of colour in line with the latest trends. The ideal choice for decorating, personalising, or improving any classic or contemporary interior design project, from metropolitan lofts to Nordic-style settings.
Creating visual continuity with the Atelier collection is easy, especially with the new 120x278 cm format. That’s because these rectified (i.e. perfectly square) tiles can be laid with minimal grout lines and without having to cut them. The reduced thickness of these tiles (only 6.5 mm) and a vast selection of colours create a wallpaper effect perfect for niches and recessed bookcases, partition and feature walls, flush doors, or elegant surfaces that create continuity with the walls. Casalgrande Padana porcelain stoneware tiles team up with furniture, accessories, and curtains and become a furnishing that adds elegance to your spaces.
Reasons for choosing Casalgrande Padana porcelain stoneware tiles for your floors and walls
These porcelain stoneware tiles are easy to lay and clean. They are also, non-allergic, fire-resistant, durable, hard-wearing, non-absorbent, and feature excellent flexural strength. They are made using solely natural raw materials, without paint, plastic or harmful substances, through a closed-loop production process, which reuses or recycles all components, achieving virtually zero emissions and dispersion: 0% harmful emissions, 100% environmental impact reduction, 99.5% waste recovered, 74% self-produced energy, and 100% environmentally sustainable packaging.
Plus, the Bios Antibacterial® technology allows Casalgrande Padana tiles to reduce the four main bacterial strains and combat odours, mould, yeasts, and fungi in any setting. This treatment is integrated permanently into the tiles; therefore, their antibacterial properties don’t decrease over time. The Bios Antibacterial® shield always remains active, day and night, with or without sunlight or UV light.
As for façades, the Bios Self-Cleaning® technology can decompose the dirt left on the tiles’ surface and reduce air pollutants, thereby improving air quality. For example, using Bios Self-Cleaning® over a 1000 m2 façade purifies the air as much as a wooded area as big as a football pitch. It also eliminates the nitrogen oxides emitted by 70 cars throughout a day.
These porcelain stoneware tiles are perfect for both floors and walls but also for covering worktops, washbasins, tables, cupboards, wardrobes, and doors. Versatile and functional, they are a great choice if you have underfloor heating.
