Concreto is a system of surfaces and colors that faithfully recreates the aesthetic and tactile effects of cement, including the traditional wood slat formwork.
Conceptually the collection recalls the great Brutalist architecture of the 20th century, which lends it its austerity and highly expressive nature, yet its application is open to a wide variety of interpretations.
Concreto plays with a combination of five nuances broken down into two different surfaces: Work and Cem each one available in different thicknesses and formats.
MICROBAN® COLLECTION tiles can be effectively complemented by the use of other antimicrobial building materials, such as the tile grout offered by Laticrete.

| Finish Descriptions | Work – This surface is inspired by traditional wood formwork created by carpenters for reinforced concrete structures and is characterized by unique and one-of-a-kind imprints in the cement, which leave indelible traces of the wood’s fibers and knots. Work is a surface capable of recreating the typical atmosphere of city buildings, designed to make both the interiors and exteriors of residential, commercial, or public spaces unique, whether installed on the floor, wall, or ceiling, and is also perfect for ventilated facades. CEM - CEM(Honed) is inspired by cement applied by hand with a spatula. The surface reproduces traces of the craftsman’s movements that extend and spread the cement on the ground. The uniqueness of the series is constituted by the infinite shades of grey and a fascinating and special glossy/opaque reflection on the surface that gives the product a unique and distinctive character. |
