Many of our stone effect surfaces are grey, because many natural quarried stones are this colour. Over the years, Italgraniti has drawn on its profound knowledge of the world of minerals to create some of the most popular stone effect ceramic collections: materials of this type express their beauty in both small and large sizes, in traditional thickness porcelain stoneware and in large thin slabs. The proportions of these large slabs provide our mineral patterns with a unique breadth, giving stone effect grey stoneware a visual continuity of great aesthetic impact.
Grey stoneware: focus on textures
Since it is colour-neutral, in a grey porcelain stoneware there will naturally be an enhanced focus on the graphic texture, the combination of pattern and superficial microstructure, precisely aligned thanks to our sophisticated decoration technology, which is crucial for the realism of any ceramic effect. As well as stone looks with a unique pattern in which background texture, vein patterns, stippling and mineral clumps create a fascinating appearance, our catalogue also includes delicately tactile concrete and resin effects, with subtle tone-on-tone colour embracing the infinite shades of grey.
Finally, before designing a room it should be remembered that grey stoneware floors will influence the luminosity of an interior without affecting its colour scheme. This means that the mood of the room will be more or less intimate depending on the intensity of the grey (and the light present), but you will still be free to play around with the most widely varying colour combinations, either tone-on-tone or using grey stoneware together with touches of deeper or brighter, even brash, colour.
