Rialto

Terrazzo is a classic composite flooring material made by embedding chips of marble, quartz, or granite into a cement or resin base, resulting in a distinctive speckled, multi-tonal appearance. The Rialto collection recreates this look through its porcelain surface, which features realistic speckled patterning with multiple face variations to replicate terrazzo’s characteristic depth and variety. The result is the visual appeal of traditional terrazzo with the durability and ease of maintenance of modern porcelain.

Yes – one of the key benefits of the Rialto collection is that it is suitable for use on both walls and floors, making it straightforward to achieve a fully coordinated look throughout a bathroom or cloakroom. Using the same tile on both surfaces creates a seamless, design-led finish that feels intentional and contemporary. This also simplifies the ordering process, as you only need to calculate and order from a single product rather than mixing collections.

The rectified edges on Rialto tiles mean each tile has been precisely cut to a consistent size, which gives installers the ability to lay them with very tight, narrow grout joints. This produces a cleaner, more seamless finish that allows the terrazzo effect to flow continuously across the surface without heavy grout lines interrupting the design. It does require a well-prepared, flat substrate, so ensure your walls and floor are properly levelled before installation begins.

The Rialto terrazzo effect has a broad design appeal – it sits naturally within mid-century modern, Scandi, and contemporary interiors, where its playful speckled surface adds character without overwhelming a space. It also works well in more eclectic or maximalist settings where the tile’s visual texture contributes to a layered, curated feel. Pair it with warm brass fixtures, natural wood accents, or bold colour on the walls to let the terrazzo-inspired design take centre stage.

As a general rule, we recommend adding 10% to your total square meterage when ordering Rialto tiles to cover cuts around edges, doorways, and any breakages during installation. If your room has an irregular shape or many internal corners, increasing this allowance to 15% is a sensible precaution. Ordering a little extra from the same batch also ensures you have matching tiles on hand for any future repairs, as tile batches and shades can vary between production runs.
