Industrial Depth: Urban Charcoal

Create a floor of dramatic distinction with Urban Charcoal—a 20x20cm porcelain tile that combines the moody intensity of slate with the resilience of modern ceramic.

Inspired by the gritty textures and raw creativity of Spanish street artists, the Urban collection brings a cool, industrial edge to any space. The **Charcoal** colourway offers a deep, saturated dark grey that grounds a room, providing a stunning contrast to white walls or metallic fixtures. Crafted from **super-hard wearing porcelain**, it features a specialized **anti-slip finish**. This makes it an incredibly practical choice for high-traffic zones like hallways, wet room floors, and even seamless outdoor garden terraces.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • No Sealing Required: Urban Charcoal is made of high-quality glazed porcelain, which is non-porous. It requires zero sealing, making it a low-maintenance alternative to slate.
  • Mix & Match: This plain tile is designed to work with the patterned tiles in the Urban range (like Urban Aryz or Urban Velasco). Use it as a border or a solid zone to frame patterned areas.
  • Grout Colour: We recommend a dark grout like **Mapei 113 Cement Grey** or **114 Anthracite** to blend with the tile for a seamless, monolithic look.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tile suitable for outdoors?

Yes! Urban Charcoal is a frost-proof porcelain tile with an anti-slip finish, making it perfect for garden patios, paths, or porches. It allows you to create a seamless transition from your kitchen to your outdoor space.

Is it safe for wet rooms?

Absolutely. The tile has a specialised anti-slip finish designed for safety, making it ideal for wet room floors, walk-in showers, and even swimming pool surrounds.

Does it look like slate?

It has a similar matt, dark grey aesthetic to slate, but with a smoother, more uniform finish. The main advantage over real slate is that it is non-porous, doesn't flake, and doesn't require sealing.

Can I use it with underfloor heating?

Yes. Porcelain is a dense material that conducts heat efficiently. It is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems, ensuring your dark floor feels warm and comfortable underfoot.
