Monochrome Elegance: Sorrento Nizza

Bring the timeless charm of the Mediterranean to your home with Sorrento Nizza—a 30x30cm porcelain tile that combines bold geometric design with modern practicality.

Part of Fired Earth's popular Sorrento collection, the 'Nizza' design features a striking **black and white interlacing star and diamond pattern**. It effortlessly replicates the matt, chalky texture of traditional encaustic cement tiles found in historic townhouses, but is crafted from high-quality **porcelain**. This means you get the authentic heritage look without the need for sealing or specialist maintenance. It is an incredibly versatile choice, perfect for adding a graphic punch to bathrooms, hallways, kitchens, and even outdoor patios.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • No Sealing Required: Sorrento Nizza is made of glazed porcelain, which is non-porous. Unlike the cement tiles it mimics, it requires zero sealing, saving you time and money on maintenance.
  • Grout Colour: We recommend a White or Silver Grey grout to keep the monochrome pattern crisp. Avoid dark grouts (like charcoal) as they can dull the bright white areas of the design.
  • Pattern Alignment: The star and diamond motif repeats across the tiles. We advise dry laying a section of the floor first to check the alignment before fixing them in place.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a cement or porcelain tile?

The Sorrento Nizza is made of high-quality glazed porcelain. It is designed to look exactly like a traditional encaustic cement tile—with a matt, chalky finish—but it is much more durable, waterproof, and stain-resistant.

Does it need sealing?

No. Unlike real cement tiles which are porous and stain easily, this porcelain version requires no sealing at all. This makes it a fantastic, low-maintenance choice for busy kitchens and bathrooms.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes! Because it is frost-proof porcelain, Sorrento Nizza is suitable for external use. It is a popular choice for garden paths, patios, and porches, allowing you to create a seamless transition from indoors to out.

Is it slippery?

The tile has a matt finish which provides good grip for residential use. It is safe for use on bathroom floors, wet rooms, and kitchen floors, offering a practical surface that isn't slippery like polished tiles.
