TUSCAN TRACES

Fascinating limestone with a unique aesthetic: for centuries, travertine has transformed magnificent buildings into architectural works of art – including the famous church of Sant’Agnese in Agone on the historic Piazza Navona in Rome. With TUSCAN TRACES, Villeroy&Boch Tiles captures the charm of the Eternal City and the classic beauty of travertine in an exquisite tile collection. TUSCAN TRACES impresses with a carefully crafted ceramic design that brings the essence of naturalness and elegance to modern living with unparalleled sophistication.

Inspired by Tuscan travertine, which is used in many places in Rome, the characteristic look of the stone image was transferred to high-quality wall and floor tiles for TUSCAN TRACES – with harmonious grains and soft colour tones that authentically emulate their natural model.

The 7 mm thick earthenware tiles for the wall, which are available in the light colours beige and silver, each in the formats 40 x 120 cm and 30 x 60 cm, radiate soothing calm and serenity. The decoration in both colours and formats presents itself with a handcrafted relief that runs completely across the grained surface in narrow grooves. Used alone or in combination with the smooth basic tiles, impressive, three-dimensional wall surfaces are created that are emotionally touching with their distinctive look and feel. Thanks to the easy-care CeramicPlus surface, the basic and decorative tiles can be cleaned quickly and easily with water and a soft cloth.

For the VilboStone porcelain stoneware tiles that match the wall tiles, the large formats 60 x 120 cm and 60 x 60 cm were chosen, both available in the colours beige and silver as well as grey, a slightly darker shade that further deepens the grains. Plinth tiles in all three colours in the 5 x 60 cm format enable successful wall connections. Equipped with the ceramic surface protection VilbostonePlus, the high-quality porcelain stoneware tiles are also extremely easy to clean and – in contrast to real travertine – completely insensitive: neither acidic nor alkaline cleaning agents can harm the ceramic. Since the porcelain stoneware offers slip resistance R10/B, the tiles can be used in all living areas and in various architectural projects.

With its exquisite travertine design and the large formats for walls and floors, the TUSCAN TRACES tile series is virtually predestined for prestigious room designs in sophisticated, private living and in upmarket hotel, office, practice and shop construction.
