Coverlam Distrito Iron Large Format Tiles

Although metal is one of the most commonly-used materials in architecture and construction, this year it is also one of the most in-demand for interior design and home décor trends. However, whereas a few years ago we saw luxury metals such as rose gold, silver or copper, the type of metal used these days has a more industrial, time-worn appearance with marked contrasts, filling rooms with personality.

Grespania presents the Distrito collection, a porcelain tile that perfectly recreates metal slabs that have been exposed to inclement weather, creating graphically rich surfaces. The result is elegantly urban and industrial spaces in a new architectural era where the only limit is the imagination.

The Distrito series comes in the colours aluminium, corten, zinc, iron and ivory, a colour palette that provides a defined industrial-inspired effect, closely aligned with current décor and interior design trends thanks to its notably architectural texture.

The mix of cold and warm tones, such as aluminium and ivory, makes this series a sure bet for the home. But if you want to go for more expressive, daring colours, darker metallics such as anthracite, zinc or corten are the way to go: as well as creating a striking appearance wherever they are used, they look like genuine works of art.

Innovative and contemporary, the Distrito series is excellent for use in both public and private spaces. Thanks to the versatility of this series in terms of formats and thicknesses, Distrito is the ideal solution for any architectural project, helping to unify spaces under the same aesthetic criteria.

Large-format tiles encompass many sizes. For a tile to be considered large format, it must be at least 1000mm long. Thanks to technological advances, Coverlam currently offers large-format tiles manufactured in pieces of up to 1200 × 3600 mm.

Coverlam emerged in response to the growing market need for large-format tiles that still retain the properties of high strength and durability. The design of these large tiles in thicknesses of 3.5 mm and 5.6 mm represented a genuine revolution in the world of architecture and interior design, where Coverlam large-format tiles have proved enormously useful in the creation and execution of striking projects.

Besides the dimensions of these large tiles, they must also offer excellent technical performance. Large-format Coverlam tiles offer certain attributes that are highly valued in today's architecture:

• Lightweight, environmentally-friendly material.
• Can be installed without the need for demolition work.
• Frost and UV resistant.
• Chip resistant.
• Bend and wear resistant.

In its evolution as a 360º material, Coverlam has continued to develop its large tile product offerings, incorporating exclusive new thicknesses for countertops into its catalogue, such as 10.5 mm, 12 mm and 20 mm. In this respect, the increase in thickness of the pieces exponentially boosts their strength, which makes them a very attractive option for kitchen countertops and surfaces where extra strength is needed.

The fact that this material is easy to cut, handle and install reduces the completion time of renovations and construction projects, resulting in significant monetary savings.
