Troweled Plaster-Look Porcelain Tile Collection

← Back to Linea — Porcelain Collection

Troweled Plaster-Look reinterprets textured plaster in porcelain—soft movement, a hand-worked feel, and a surface that reads calm rather than busy. It’s a go-to when you want warmth and depth without heavy veining or high contrast.

Offered in two complementary formats (3.5×7 and 7×7), this collection makes pattern play easy: run it stacked, offset, vertical, or mix sizes for a more tailored, architectural layout. The matte surface has a gentle sheen that adds dimension under natural and task lighting.

Where it works best

Floors

Bathrooms and powder rooms
Kitchens and entryways
Commercial floors with steady foot traffic

Walls

Backsplashes and feature walls
Shower walls and spa-style bathrooms
Fireplace surrounds and architectural accents

Design notes (quick guidance)

Quiet texture: the plaster-like surface adds depth while keeping the palette calm.
Mix formats: 3.5×7 brings rhythm; 7×7 feels more blocky and modern—together they look custom.
Grout choice: matching grout reads seamless; soft contrast highlights the layout.
