Porcelanosa Tanzania Silver 16.5 x 150cm

The grey/silver colour palette of the Tanzania Silver tiles is particularly well suited to contemporary kitchen schemes, complementing darker cabinetry, concrete worktops, and stainless steel appliances with ease. The wood effect matt finish adds warmth and texture, preventing the space from feeling too cold or industrial. Because these tiles are suitable for both floors and walls, you could use them across the kitchen floor and continue them up a feature wall for a cohesive, designer look.

Porcelain is a non-porous material, which means the Tanzania Silver tiles will not absorb moisture, soap residue, or bacteria, making them very hygienic and straightforward to clean in a bathroom. The matt finish does not show water marks as readily as a gloss tile, though it can show soap residue over time, so a regular wipe-down with a damp cloth and a pH-neutral tile cleaner is all that is needed. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners, which could dull the surface over time.

The 16.5 x 150cm format of this tile is narrower than the 25 x 150cm version, which can actually work well in a smaller bathroom as it creates a more delicate, detailed plank pattern that does not overwhelm a compact space. The wider 25 x 150cm format suits larger bathrooms or open-plan areas where the bigger plank creates a more dramatic, expansive feel. Both tiles share the same grey/silver wood effect and matt finish, so the choice largely comes down to the proportions of your room.
