Aged

The Aged collection is inspired by the raw, textural beauty of basalt stone, replicating its distinctive dark tones and naturally weathered surface in a durable porcelain format. This gives the tiles a characterful, aged appearance that brings an organic, grounded quality to both contemporary and industrial-style interiors. The result is a tile that feels as though it has been shaped by nature, without any of the maintenance challenges associated with genuine basalt.

Yes, the Aged collection by XTONE is well-suited to bathroom and wet room applications, provided you select the appropriate surface finish with a suitable slip-resistance rating. The textured, basalt-inspired surface naturally lends itself to wet environments where grip underfoot is important. We recommend reviewing the slip-resistance (R-value) details on the product listing or getting in touch with our team to confirm suitability for your specific project.

The Aged collection is produced using Porcelanosa’s advanced digital printing technology, which means each tile carries subtle surface variation to mimic the natural irregularity of basalt stone, while still maintaining a cohesive look across a large installation. This controlled variation is intentional and contributes to the collection’s authentic, aged character. It is worth ordering a small sample before committing to a full order so you can see how the tones and textures appear in your own lighting conditions.

The Aged tiles are versatile enough to be used on walls as well as floors, and pairing them across both surfaces creates a dramatic, cohesive look inspired by natural basalt. However, it is important to check the load-bearing and slip-resistance specifications on the product page to ensure the tile is appropriate for floor use in your specific setting. Our team at Stoke Tiles is happy to advise on the best application for your project.

As a general rule, we recommend ordering 10% extra on top of your measured area to account for cuts, wastage, and potential breakages during installation. If your room has an irregular shape or you plan to lay the tiles at a diagonal angle, it is sensible to increase this allowance to around 15%. Having spare tiles also means you have a matching batch to hand for any future repairs, which is especially useful with distinctive collections like Aged where batch colour matching can be tricky later on.
