Brazilian Brilliance

Portobello

Coming soon to Ultimate Tiles are three amazing new ranges from Portobello in Brazil. These three ranges all offer a point of difference from our current lines and we think they are fantastic! 

The first of these ranges is the Eco Wood series. With six colours and two finishes, this range covers a wide range of timber colours and covers a multitude of different styles, from traditional to contemporary. 

I personally just adore the Eucalypto colour way. It combines beautiful washed neutral tones and gives an amazing base for so many fantastic designs. It would easily compliment French Provincial, Ultra Modern and Urban Contemporary styles and its warmth makes it perfect for use throughout the entire home.

The second range is the Travertino Navona series. This range has two colours in two large format sizes, 600x600 and 600x1200, and mimics the beauty of natural stone slabs. These tiles would make a stunning addition to a naturalistic or minimalistic themed home and tone beautifully with a multitude of different features and furnishings.

Portobello

The third range is the Pietra e Mattoni series. This series introduces five exciting new brick/subway tiles into the range. This series comes in varied colours and textures and has an option for every style. 

These stunning new products will be in our showrooms very shortly so pop by in the near future and check them out!

Just in Time for the Weekend!

Such a busy week we have had at Ultimate Tiles! We’ve landed a large selection of new ranges which have required some re-arranging and re-assessing of current product line. 

Brasil Lappatto

A favourite for all of our staff is the Brazil Lappatto! A stunning semi-polished tile that comes in 600x600 and 300x600 formats. This charcoal based tile has beautiful red-purple hues and can be described in no other way than ‘completely stunning’, surprisingly too; it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. 

We’ve also landed a couple of new ranges in the glazed product area. These ranges consist of matching floor and wall options and cover a multitude of colours and styles. The floors come in a 300x300 and 400x400 matt finish or a 400x400 gloss finish, with a 300x400 gloss wall. 

There are two series in this release. One has a mottled, somewhat uniform pattern, while the other is designed to mimic the movement patterns of natural stone. Both of these series are reasonably priced and work well with a variety of different feature products.

If you’ve been struggling to decide, and haven’t quite been able to find the tile for you, head down to Ultimate Tiles and view our new arrivals. The products above are just 2 of the exciting new releases we’ve had this week, there’s plenty more to view in store.

Earth Stone

The ‘Earth Stone’ range from RAK Ceramics is a well priced, beautifully finished product available in 300x600 and 600x600 formats. The range consists of five colours ranging from a lighter cream/white through to taupe, browns and black.

The stunning natural stone like finish of the range lends itself beautifully to a variety of applications from ultra modern to classic to contemporary. 

The range is also complimented by two mosaic option which breaks up expansive walls without being a stand out feature. The range can also be complimented by a variety of mosaic features from other ranges and suppliers to give your concept the edge you are after. 

I personally love the darkest of the range, the charcoal black. Combine with a Satin White 300x600 wall tile and black pebble feature and you have yourself a stunning oriental base. Alternately, switch the pebble with a black glass & metallic mosaic and you have yourself a really funky modern design base. 

The ‘Silica Beige’ colour way can also be paired with a variety of features to alter its design theme. Paired with soft off whites and subtle marble features, this colour lends itself beautifully to a neutral country style, or pair it with white walls and a blended glass mosaic and you have a modern neutral theme.

Beautiful Bluestone

SAI Bluestone

There’s a new kid on the block in the world of natural stones (or at least a revamped one). Natural Bluestone has always been a stone that has been associated with old world pubs and banks, but the new honed and sawn finished from SAI is changing the impression many have about bluestone and bringing the stone into the new era. 

Bluestone fits beautifully with the new contemporary style that many people are now leaning towards and the large number of formats offered by SAI provides a bluestone solution for a variety of applications.

 The best thing about this product is that it comes with three different coping options! There’s the traditional bullnose, a square edge and an 80mmdropped face coping. The series is also complimented by four different mosaic features, a solid 300x600x20 feature, cobblestones and crazy paving. 

This range is so versatile and stunningly simple. It just oozes elegance and style and compliments a range of colour concepts beautifully. It can be used around pools, for feature pillars, regular old paving or even driveways. 

Whatever your Bluestone application, SAI have the answer!

Fun with Colour...

Pencil Box by SCC

Summer is the time of year where everything turns from drab, boring shades to stunning bright colours and thankfully, this season is starting to bring some colour back to the tile industry. 

We have had a limited release of products that have coloured options for floor, a couple more for wall, but most of these coloured items are designed for use as features. 

One of my personal favourites at the moment is the Pencil Box range from Southern Cross. This product is Australian made, fantastic quantity, and has striking colour matched with subdued neutral tones. This product gives you the oomph without being too over the top for those that are less daring. 

Stile by Refin Ceramiche

I’m also quite a fan of the Stile series by Refin Ceramiche. The black concept inset comes in a variety of different colours, however the importers for this product only bring in the red, nero and bianco colour ways. It is so striking and different, with strong bold colour options and a classy floral pattern.

Yet, still, the most popular option is the Matrix series from Southern Cross Ceramics. This series offers a huge range of 72 colours all available in 16 different formats.  That’s 1200 different options and a huge array of different combinations. These tiles can be paired with each other to create a multitude of different looks. ‘Same Colour, Different Format’ or ‘Different Colour, Same Format’ offers a point of difference while still remaining sleek and streamlined.

In addition to these ranges, we have a large array of coloured mosaics with new releases happening regularly and our wonderful team are most happy to help you work to achieve a design with a colourful difference. Paired with black and white as a base, almost anything goes... and if it doesn’t we can just change the base colours.

Fabulous Folio
