New Pietra 20mm

The New Pietra collection is designed to closely replicate the appearance of natural stone, featuring gentle pale white veining across its surface for an authentic, organic look. With 3 unique face designs available, the tiles can be laid to avoid repetition, creating a natural variation that mirrors genuine stone paving. The result is a high-end aesthetic that is far easier to maintain than real stone.

The New Pietra tiles come in a large 1200x600mm format, which means fewer tiles are needed to cover a given area compared to smaller formats, and the joins between tiles are minimised for a cleaner look. To calculate how many tiles you need, simply measure the length and width of your area in metres, multiply them together to get the square meterage, and then add around 10% extra to account for cuts and wastage. Our team at Stoke Tiles are happy to help if you need guidance on quantities.

Yes, the New Pietra tiles are constructed from durable porcelain with a 20mm thickness, making them frost resistant and well suited to the variable conditions of a UK outdoor space. Their low porosity means they absorb very little water, reducing the risk of cracking during freeze-thaw cycles over winter. You can install them with confidence knowing they are built to last through all four seasons.

The R11 slip resistance rating on the New Pietra tiles indicates a high level of grip underfoot, assessed under the DIN 51130 standard used across the tile industry. This rating makes them a safe choice for wet outdoor surfaces such as patios, pathways, and pool surrounds where water may be present. Combined with their matt finish, the tiles provide reliable traction even after rain.

Yes, the New Pietra tiles feature rectified edges, meaning they have been precisely cut after firing to ensure perfectly straight, consistent dimensions across every tile. This allows for tighter, more uniform grout joints during installation, giving your patio a neat, contemporary finish. Rectified tiles are particularly beneficial in large format sizes like 1200x600mm, where any dimensional inconsistency would be more noticeable.
