The new Casalgrande Padana outdoor collections
Porcelain stoneware tiles for outdoors
Whether it’s a terrace, a patio, a veranda, or a garden, outdoor living spaces add value to your home, especially if you can create visual continuity between the indoors and outdoors, for settings that are not only stylish, but designed to enhance well-being.
While the norm used to be for different flooring to mark the shift between rooms and, even more so, indoor and outdoor spaces, the trend these days is towards coordinated solutions and integrated projects that create visual and spatial continuity and a seamless, stylish transition between interior and exterior design.
From the living area to the pool edge, seamless indoor and outdoor flooring allows you to dissolve boundaries, create uninterrupted surfaces, and visually expand living spaces with a single, uniform style, as well as making them more comfortable and practical all year round.
A combination of superb technical performance and the 20mm-thick anti-slip option for outdoor areas make Casalgrande Padana tiles a versatile, stylish choice. They can be either laid on screed using glue, ensuring high load resistance, or dry-laid on sand, gravel or turf, for surfaces that can be walked on immediately. They can also be used to create raised floors, allowing for the installation of electrical and plumbing systems in the gap underneath.
Essence: new lustre for porcelain stoneware
Sophisticated material and technological innovation deliver a perfect blend of patterns and textures, redefining the very concept of wood-effect surfaces. The warm beauty of larch, a wood widely used in traditional alpine architecture, embodies the endless variation of the most natural material of all. In each unique tile, every detail and subtle shift of colour fine-tunes the design, combining with technical performance to shape endless creative options and interesting décor solutions.
Essence blends effortlessly with any style, from traditional country looks to more modern, contemporary interiors. Thanks to the 40x120 cm size, with a 20 mm thickness and an anti-slip surface, available in the colours Beige and Taupe, the collection can also be used outdoors, helping to redefine a contemporary approach to living spaces.
Pebbles: the modern elegance of porcelain stoneware
The hallmark feature of Pebbles is the random combination of pebbles and stones with different sizes and textures, which come together on the tiles to create a richly detailed pattern with a modern, sophisticated design. The combination of materials and balanced, neutral tones adapt effortlessly to all kinds of uses and pair well with any style, from traditional settings to modern loft and open-plan apartments, where the random repetitions of irregular patterns make each tile unique.
Available in a 20mm-thick outdoor version in the colours Beige, Grey and Taupe and in the sizes 60x120 cm and 60x60 cm, Pebbles speaks a style language ready to engage with other surfaces, forming original combinations of colours and shapes perfect for bringing a new twist to living spaces.
Essence and Pebbles are part of the Elements trio of collections, in which the minimalist urban style of Texture and Pebbles meets the warm wood tones of Essence, for a delightfully creative mix of composition options. Three different textures are available in the same colours, offering modular solutions in matching or contrasting shades. This makes Elements ideal for creating coordinated, seamless living spaces or for separating different areas with distinct functions.
Saxum: sensual beauty in porcelain stoneware
Inspired by the sun, sculpted by the wind and shaped by the water. A porcelain tile collection that embodies ancient memories, weaving them together into a new material language that brings surfaces to life. Random veining, delicate earthy and sandy shades, greys and neutral hues and tones with a modern, natural design blend with the imperfections left by the passage of time, revealing all the charm of a material that has accompanied humankind through the ages. These modern tiles combine the ancient beauty of stone with the impressive qualities of porcelain stoneware, for a versatile collection that highlights the pleasing texture of the material of inspiration.
Saxum is available in an outdoor version, with a thickness of 20 mm and an anti-slip surface, in all the collection colours (Antracite, Beige, Bianco, Grigio and Perla) in the sizes 60x120 cm and 60x60 cm. In Beige and Perla, a 120x120 cm size is also available.
