The Oltre Tiles by Italian design brand Marazzi mimic the shape and appearance of wood. Marazzi's state-of-the-art stoneware launch uses porcelain plank tiles, for an easy-to-clean surface. The granular wooden texture of Oak is replicated through an interlocking pattern system that precisely mimics the look of timber floorboards.
Boasting a Zero Glossy extra-matte finish, a StepWise slip-resistant coating, and a Puro antibacterial treatment, the material is available in four colors: white, natural, sand, and caramel. Oltre's unique design is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. The versatile tiles also range in size to accommodate customer needs. Consumers can choose from three large size options of 22.5 by 180, 20 by 120, and 30 by 120 centimeters.
